A Friend to Die For

1994 · 92 min

A queasy, slow-dawning true-crime TV drama about wanting in so badly it curdles into something unthinkable, watched with mounting dread.

Tagline: She would do anything to be popular... Even kill!
Overview: Who could have stabbed popular, beautiful cheerleader Stacy to death? It could have been antisocial Goth girl Monica; it could've been angst-ridden Jill -- or maybe it was the plain girl nobody suspected.
How it feels: Dark, melancholic, tense and cynical. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Obsession, identity, class, isolation
Content: Mild violence, gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
