Frequency was my first PG-13 movie
I could see how someone could see this as a catastrophizing of the loss of a high trust society & resentment at untamed youth, but what that perspective fails to capture is how lustful the camera is towards these girls. That's where the tension lay with this movie. How can we be so repelled by these girls' behavior but so enamored with them as their demonic brattyness continues to escalate. Their girlish chaotic unpredictability is clearly the object of fascination for the audience. Beauty that feels too fragile to touch. Sondra Locke in particular is a straight DMT elf in this.
