The story of a strange contagion that ravages the lives of teenagers in the suburbs of Seattle in the mid-1970s, revealing the terrible nature of school alienation - savagery, cruelty, constant anxiety and boredom.
This strange plague is sexually transmitted. The disease has various manifestations—from the disgustingly grotesque to the subtle (and hidden)—but if you're already infected, that's it. There is no way back. The key characters - sick teenagers, healthy teenagers, while healthy teenagers - are not affected by what is happening, are not trying to fight the infection, are not spreading information about the danger or even looking for a way to cure... Instead, we witness a fascinating and eerie portrait of nature itself school alienation.
And then the killings begin.
As hypnotically beautiful as it is horrifying, Black Hole transcends its medium, deftly exploring the dynamics of a singular American cultural moment and the teenagers caught up in it—when being a hippie was no longer cool, but Bowie was still too strange
Not to mention the regrowth of horns and shedding of skin…
