River's Edge (1986)

In Northern California, a preteen boy, Tim, throws a doll into a river. On the opposite bank, he sees teenager John smoking a cigarette while sitting next to the nude corpse of his girlfriend, Jamie. Later, at a convenience store, Tim encounters John arguing with a clerk who will not sell him beer due to being underage. Tim returns home, where his older brother Matt and mother are searching for his little sister’s doll. Matt’s friend Layne arrives to pick him up, and the two drive to the home of Feck, a neurotic ex-biker and drug dealer, to obtain marijuana. On the car ride there, Layne recounts a party from the night before at which John and Jamie were arguing.

At school, Layne and Matt smoke with their friends Clarissa, Maggie, and Tony. Matt talks about wanting to run away to Portland, which Clarissa dismisses. John arrives and mentions that he killed Jamie. Thinking he’s joking, Clarissa and Maggie leave for class. John brings Layne and Matt to view Jamie’s body; Matt is disturbed, while Layne is focused on covering up the crime. The group all plan to go see Jamie’s body that evening, with Clarissa still assuming it is a practical joke. Layne’s older brother, Mike, grudgingly drives them there in his truck, and they all see Jamie’s body for themselves.
