Compelling satire in ‘The Chumscrubber’

Jamie Bell plays Dean Stiffle, who discovers his best friend, Troy, hanging in his bedroom, but doesn't tell his parents.

When three classmates kidnap Dean's brother to try and get hold of Troy's drugs stash, we quickly realise this US suburb is far from normal.

‘The Chumscrubber’ (Icon, €24.99) is a dark and funny, tragic and compelling satire.

Arie Posin's directorial debut is a winner.
