Synopsis
Part horror, part satire, part throwback teen flick and part topical modern commentary - Assassination Nation is juggling a LOT. And yet at heart this button-pushing indie darling from writer/director Sam Levinson is a simple story about a town spiraling into violence and madness. When a data hack lays everyone’s digital secrets bare, their online selves come crashing down onto their offline reality – and obviously the only solution is to rally some crazy murder posses for an all-out witch hunt to find the culprit. Caught in the center are a group of teenager party girls who must band together if they want to survive the onslaught. The film stars Odessa Young, Suki Waterhouse, Hari Nef, Abra, Bella Thorne, Bill Skarsgård and Joel McHale.

Atom User Reviews
A giant middle finger to the patriarchy, f**kboys, and our current White House administration, this movie was bold, brazen, unfiltered, and unnerving in the best way. AN ABSOLUTE MUST-SEE!!!
For teens
Metacritic
Assassination Nation thinks its a f*ck-you punchline. It’s actually the film’s most honest admission — its one true self-own.
Often it feels like reading a Twitter thread of ideas and hashtags, rather than watching a movie. Yet the final act, a “Purge”-like blood bath to the tune of vengeance, is aesthetically arresting.
Assassination Nation may hit buttons in the moment, but looking back, it fades away as an experience as ugly as it is unpleasant.
