a truly honest account

Over the Edge is not your typical teenage angst film. It has at it's core a true story of urban planning gone wrong. Parents who long to make a better life for themselves and their kids in a planned surburban community end up turing their kids into the very influence they hoped to escape. Although some of the acting is spotty in places(most of the cast were REAL kids), the overall impact carries it through. Basically, it works! It worked for me when I first saw it on HBO in '81(I guess) and it still resonates.

memories...

I too was around the same age as these kids when this movie came. I was one of those kids! I have never had a movie affect me the way this one did. I am so happy to see this come out on DVD finally. This movie also turned me onto the Ramones and Cheap Trick! Although, I dont know if I should really admit to the latter... lol!

eolltz

I havent seen this movie since it first came out on HBO. I was around 10 or 11 years old but I've never forgotten its relevance. To make it even more of an impact I grew up in Northport NY and was around 12 when Ricky Kasso killed Gary Lauwers which was depicted in the book "Say you love Satan". The book was 100% BS but "Over the Edge" would be so much more of an acurate dipiction of suburban youth and its fate in Northport. Over the Edge' forshadowed the real life tragedy in my town. Oddly, "the River's Edge" came out about a year after the incident and was a loose interpretation of the events in Northport. I havent seen it.

Great to see this on DVD!

This movie was really amazing! It had a great cast with kids actually being cast in the roles of the kids. Some of the actors were a little shaky, but for the most part, the performances were excellent!Great movie!

Finally on DVD

I remember watching this gem on HBO back in 1980 and am glad to see it finally released on DVD.
