REVIEW: Shy high-schooler Mark (Sebastian Gregory) stumbles upon a fresh grave in the woods of his peaceful suburb and spies a 4WD speeding away from the scene.
Together with friends James (Joshua Payne) and Chasely (Hanna Mangan-Lawrence) they return to the woods to unearth what they imagine is buried cash or drugs. Their bit of fun turns perilous, however, when they uncover a body. The boys realize that their grim discovery could help them exact revenge upon their nemesis Gary Parker (Michael Dorman), so they embark upon a hunt for the identity of the killer (played with frightening realism by Joel Edgerton)
ACOLTYES quickly turns into a sinister tale of deception and betrayal as the three teens find themselves in over their heads, trying to outwit a serial killer as he turns the tables on them and lures them into his violent world.
