Directed by Kyle Mooney1h 31m2024

Two high school nobodies make the decision to crash the last major celebration before the new millennium on New Year's Eve 1999. The night becomes even crazier than they could have ever dreamed when the clock strikes midnight.

Our read: Y2K (2024) reads as a neutral, breathless, inventive horror · comedy · sci-fi entry — measured in intensity, intimate in scope, cold in temperature, ambivalent in outlook.
