Movie / 2013 / Drama

The Dirties

Why this pick

Its student-shot, increasingly unstable mock-documentary form creates the same uneasy intimacy with alienated teenagers, while keeping the tension rooted in what the camera does—and does not—show.

Elephant poster 02

Movie / 2003 / Crime / Drama

Elephant

Why this pick

Like Zero Day, it observes a school attack with chilling restraint, but trades video-diary immediacy for drifting long takes, fractured viewpoints, and an ominously ordinary atmosphere.

Polytechnique poster 03

Movie / 2009 / Crime / Drama

Polytechnique

Why this pick

A stark, carefully controlled examination of violence at an educational institution, using spare black-and-white imagery and multiple perspectives to sustain dread without sensationalism.

Bang Bang You're Dead poster 04

Movie / 2002 / Drama / Thriller

Bang Bang You're Dead

Why this pick

This focuses on a troubled student’s rage, isolation, and creative expression, sharing Zero Day’s concern with warning signs while approaching the subject through tense school drama rather than faux footage.

Home Room poster 05

Movie / 2002 / Drama

Home Room

Why this pick

Its quiet, aftermath-centered structure examines guilt, grief, and the strained connections between students after school violence, offering the same uncomfortable seriousness from a more reflective angle.

01 / THE STORY

A little about the film.

Andre Kriegman (based on Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold) and Calvin Gabriel (based on Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold) announce their intention to attack their high school, calling their plan "Zero Day". They keep a video diary on the camera, carefully hiding it from their friends and families. The majority of the film is portrayed through their video filming, and shows them planning, preparing, and explaining some of their motives.
