Dead Kids film review: Netflix’s first Filipino feature is slickly executed but doesn’t do enough in tackling social issues it raises
- In Dead Kids, a cash-strapped, socially awkward teen is drawn into a plot to kidnap a wealthy classmate that goes very wrong
- Frustratingly, social issues are touched on in the film but not fleshed out, though director Mikhail Red elevates the undercooked material
