Teenage Babylon... poster

Released in 1989, Teenage Babylon... is a horror and music film directed by Graeme Wood, running about 14 minutes.

What it’s about. Teenage Babylon presents the aftermath of three teenage suicides through the medium of what purports to be 1960s vintage black and white police file footage. The film's haunting images, evoking teenage love gone wrong, are counterpointed by a series of saccharine torch songs, celebrating falling in love and the end of a masquerade. Through a kind of bathetic synthesis, the dialectic of Eros and Thanatos, love and death, is consummated in the 'morgue' of the forensic archive.

Who’s in it. Teenage Babylon... stars Juliette Armstrong, Caryn Clark, Brigette Gale and Dennis Harris, among others.

How it landed. With an audience score of 7.0/10, Teenage Babylon... has been warmly received by audiences.
