Lice

2027

A gleefully gross, fast-paced romp that mixes teen panic with creepy-crawly chaos and deadpan laughs.

Overview: A parasitic outbreak hits a Long Island high school in the 1980s, leading to military quarantine. Students infected with an unbearable itch fight each other for survival.
How it feels: Campy, absurd, tense and dark. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Survival, isolation, coming-of-age, violence
Content: Strong violence, gore and language. Mild sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
