In this provocative tale of adolescent misbehavior, a cunning high school senior masterminds a suburban heist by manipulating and terrorizing the revelers at a graduation party where eight unlucky guests deemed the “ugliest” of the night are subjected to a ritual of sadistic bullying and humiliation before being sent packing aboard the host’s notorious “Ugly Bus.”As shocking as it is riveting, THE LAST RIDE OF THE UGLY BUS is a contemplative neo noir thriller that will grip you with its no-punches-pulled exploration of cruelty, morality and forgiveness set amidst a milieu of privileged misfits on the cusp of adulthood. After experiencing the story’s relentlessly-paced darkness and devastation — think Stieg Larsson meets Bret Easton Ellis — you may never look at teenagers the same way again.
