Spontaneous is a horror comedy following a high school class that suddenly start blowing up. In the middle of this, two student fall in love. However, the mystery about why their classmates is blowing up remains the biggest worry for them all.
This is an unique horror comedy showing the panic created by the sudden spontaneous combustion of a high school class. It shows the panic of not being sure what is happening while trying to keep on enjoying a young life. There is a thrown in love story that pulls away from the bigger mystery and chaos. However, it seems to want to point toward one idea, but keeps the mystery waiting for us to see the truth.
Final Thoughts – Spontaneous is a weird, strange movie with an added chaos.
