Watch Step Over The Edge

Step Over The Edge is a 1976 drama film that tells the story of a group of teenagers who form a cult in a small town in the Pacific Northwest. The movie follows the six members of the cult as they engage in nihilistic and destructive activities that ultimately lead to tragedy. The film opens with a voiceover from one of the cult members, Bill, as he describes the group's philosophy of living on the edge and rejecting the constraints of society. Bill, played by actor Scott Wallace, is the de facto leader of the group and he is joined by his girlfriend, Liz, played by Lynn Baron, as well as four other teenagers.

Early on in the movie, it becomes clear that the cult's activities are spiraling out of control. They participate in dangerous stunts like jumping off a bridge into a rocky river, and they steal and vandalize property. The group also experiments with drugs, which fuel their increasingly erratic behavior.

As tensions within the cult begin to mount, the film introduces other characters who are concerned about their activities. There's a local police officer, played by actor Richard Bowler, who tries to keep tabs on the group and investigate their illegal activities. There's also a social worker, played by Susan Gordon-Clark, who tries to reach out to the cult members and understand what is causing their destructive behavior.

Throughout the film, there is a sense of impending doom as the cult members push the boundaries of what they are willing to do. There are scenes of intense violence and disturbing sexual content that are jarring even by today's standards. There is also a sense of despair as the cult members struggle with their own personal demons and the realization that their actions are leading them down a dark path.

The film culminates in a dramatic and horrifying finale that leaves the audience with a sense of shock and sadness. The movie does not provide easy answers or happy endings, but instead confronts the audience with the reality of what can happen when people push themselves over the edge.

Step Over The Edge is a stark and unsettling film that explores the darker side of human nature. Despite being made over 40 years ago, the movie is still relevant today in its depiction of how destructive group dynamics can be. While it can be difficult to watch at times, the film is a powerful reminder of the dangers of nihilism and the importance of community and connection.
