Plot
Drunk is a 2016 American supernatural slasher film directed by George Luo, a student of the prestigious Milton Academy, and produced by the school's creative students. The movie is based on an existing short story, but the feature-length adaptation received widespread attention for its dark, gory, and suspenseful portrayal of teenage angst and the horrors that come with it. The movie begins with a prologue that sets the tone for the story. Two girls, Emily and Kayla, are at a party in an abandoned house at night, where they drink and engage in wild behavior. The partygoers are unaware that the house has a notorious reputation in town, with an urban legend surrounding a girl named Jenny who went missing in the house under mysterious circumstances. The story then shifts to a non-linear narrative, with the audience presented with fragments of the past and the present. It becomes clear that the movie's central plot revolves around Emily, a troubled teenager who has a fascination with the urban legend of Jenny. She believes that if she can uncover the truth behind Jenny's disappearance, she will be able to ease her own emotional pain and move on from her troubled past. As the story unfolds, Emily begins to experience strange and terrifying events that make her question her own sanity. The abandoned house, where the party was held, becomes the setting for a series of gruesome and inexplicable events that Emily is forced to confront. It is here that she starts to experience flashbacks of Jenny, who is somehow connected to her. Meanwhile, a group of friends, led by a character named Alex, decide to investigate the truth behind Jenny's disappearance. As they delve deeper into the mystery, they uncover a dark and disturbing secret that has been hidden in the town for years. The group's investigation, however, attracts the attention of a malevolent force that has been awakened by Emily's meddling. The movie builds up to a thrilling climax, with Emily and her friends facing off against an unseen enemy that seems to be determined to silence them forever. As the tension reaches a boiling point, the truth behind Jenny's disappearance and the urban legend surrounding her is finally revealed. Throughout the movie, Luo's direction creates a sense of unease and tension, perfectly capturing the atmosphere of a group of teenagers trapped in an abandoned house at night, with no way out. The use of dark lighting and camera angles adds to the sense of unease, and the performances of the cast bring depth and emotion to the characters. The movie also raises important questions about the consequences of meddling with forces beyond human control. As Emily becomes increasingly obsessed with uncovering the truth, she begins to lose touch with reality, and her actions put her and those around her in grave danger. Drunk is a movie that will keep viewers on the edges of their seats, with its unexpected twists and turns.
