The film takes place on the last night of 1999. “Two high school juniors crash a New Year’s Eve party, only to find themselves fighting for their lives in this dial-up disaster comedy.”
Jaeden Martell (It, Mr. Harrigan’s Phone) and Julian Dennison (Deadpool 2) star as the high school friends. Y2K also stars Rachel Zegler (West Side Story), Lachlan Watson (“Chucky,” “Chilling Adventures of Sabrina”), Mason Gooding (Scream 2022, Scream VI), The Kid Laroi, Tim Heidecker (Us), Eduardo Franco (“Stranger Things”), Miles Robbins (Daniel Isn’t Real, Halloween 2018), Alicia Silverstone (The Killing of a Sacred Deer, The Lodge), Fred Hechinger (Fear Street), Daniel Zolghadri (Funny Pages) and Fred Durst.
Y2K hails from actor/comedian/writer and former “SNL “cast member Kyle Mooney, who makes his directorial feature debut from a screenplay co-written with producer Evan Winter.
Meagan wrote in her SXSW review, “Armed with a pitch-perfect, game-for-anything ensemble and great practical effects behind the carnage and calamity, A24’s latest offers up the most entertaining, funny-bone-tickling apocalyptic scenario since This Is the End.“
As for the horror, “Y2K runs with the unfulfilled prospect of a worldwide tech crash through a lethal machine uprising. Playing like Maximum Overdrive for millennials, Weta Workshop brings the various murder bots to life via exquisite practical effects.”
