Man, River's Edge was THE hipster/indie flick of the late 80's early 90's. Every nihilistic punk freak I knew loved that flick. It is based on a true story about high school kids so jaded that when a fellow student of theirs kills someone they did not report it but instead kept visiting the body and taking other kids there to look at it (if memory serves), and while I do not enjoy the movie,. it is a good movie and I think, Crispin Glover's first freaky role.
The actual news item was a real freak-out to the squares/regs who could not imagine such jaded children....
