Chronicle (2012) Review



Chronicle offers a unique take on the superhero genre brought to life by the director-screenwriter combination of Josh Trank and Max Landis, both making their feature film debuts.  The film centres around three high school students and their reactions to their newly acquired superpowers. Despite seemingly treading well versed territory, Chronicle manages to keep things fresh and exciting by avoiding the common clichés associated with the genre and tries to venture somewhere brand spanking new.
