Threat (film)

Threat is a 2006 independent drama film directed by Matt Pizzolo and starring Leo Fitzpatrick, Brian Henderson, and Meghan Miller. The film explores themes of alienation, nihilism, and violence within a disaffected youth subculture, drawing on elements of punk rock and anarchist philosophy.

The narrative centers around a group of young people struggling with social and economic issues, and their descent into acts of petty crime and ultimately, more significant violence. The film is noted for its raw and unflinching portrayal of its characters and its confrontational style. Threat utilizes a non-linear narrative structure, interweaving different storylines and perspectives to create a fragmented and unsettling viewing experience. It received limited theatrical release and gained a cult following through DVD sales and online distribution. While praised by some for its authenticity and bold subject matter, it has also been criticized for its nihilistic themes and lack of clear moral message.
