Michael Murphy (Tanner ’88), Louise Fletcher (One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest), Dan Shor (Wise Blood), and Fiona Lewis (A Day at the Beach) head the impressive cast of Dead Kids (also known as Strange Behavior), a darkly comic blend of horror and science fiction from director Michael Laughlin (Strange Invaders).

In a small midwestern town, police chief John Brady (Murphy) investigates a bizarre series of murders. As the corpses pile up, all signs point to the hellish mind-control experiments of a twisted scientist...

Co-written by Bill Condon (Gods and Monsters), with a soundtrack by Tangerine Dream (Sorcerer), and produced in New Zealand by the legendary Australian producer Antony I Ginnane (Snapshot).
