I think that my found gem award this year goes to this movie! This flick is just a super well crafted tale of a young man coming to terms with the troubles he faces. Almost anyone can identify with his struggle with bullies, his friends, his parents, his motivations. The only thing that is different about this story is that our protagonist has a serial killer for a brother.
That's all you need to know about the plot, but pay attention to the writing. It is stellar. Everything grows organically from the actions and motivations of the characters, so that when the peaks are reached, they are all the more horrifying.
The other thing that this flick doesn't do is reach for the horror moments. That alone sets it apart from a lot of horror flicks I've watched lately that feel as though they are just struggling through the dialogue scenes so that they can get to the next kill. Found doesn't have as much violence or gore, but when it arrives, it is more disturbing than your average horror pic.
