The Surge is a teen movie with a difference. Instead of thrashing out yet another comedy, tragedy, or action flick focusing on teens, the makers have placed their bets on a sci-fi/thriller.
Reese Hauser (Mathew Scollon) plays a guy with a shady past who has just relocated to a new area. Being a misfit, he cannot make any friends. Zack Bainbridge (Edward DeRuiter) comes forward with his sister Ashley Bainbridge (Melissa Renie Martin) and friend Phoebe Lewis (Alice Frank), social outcasts in their own right, to befriend him. Zack also reveals a secret place that is a source of untapped and incredible energy. With some experimentation, these four people transform themselves into super-heroes on campus. Zack can read people's minds, Ashley can force people to do whatever she says and Phoebe can transport objects using telekinesis. Reese is the most formidable among them as he can heel any wound! At first, the group has fun and enjoys their newfound powers. However, they slowly discover the dark side of being so powerful as one of them becomes greedy and plans to eliminate the rest of them to become the most powerful. A bloody battle of survival thus ensues between the four. Definitely a teen flick that keeps you on the edge.
