On the last night of 1999, best friends Eli, Danny, and Garrett discuss plans for New Year’s Eve while their parents are out. Eli has a crush on his classmate Laura, but is too nervous to talk to her despite Danny’s encouragement to kiss her at midnight. They watch as Laura and her friends Trevor, Madison, and Raleigh sneak out some alcohol and decide to crash a party held by Soccer Chris, Laura’s boyfriend. While partying, Eli watches in dismay as Chris and Laura kiss at midnight until the power suddenly goes out.
— As a student is found dead with a piece of a fan lodged in his head, a toy car arrives on its own and burns Trevor’s face with a hairspray and a lighter, killing him. The terrified partygoers realize that all technology have become sentient!
“A total blast thanks to a cast that is giving everything they have to make something fun and memorable.” – Branyan Towe, Loud and Clear Reviews
“As ruthless as some of the deaths can be, and tongue-in-cheek as the movie’s heightened reality becomes, Y2K remains affectionate toward its characters; it has a surprising amount of warmth and sweetness.” – Jesse Hassenger, Paste Magazine
“The carnage of consumer goods is nasty, gory and cruel, with a darkly comic mean streak that recalls Joe Dante’s GREMLINS.” – Calum Marsh, New York Times
