The River King

The River King (2005) is a Canadian-British crime thriller you can watch online on iFILM. A student from an exclusive private school turns up dead in the river. The school's administration pushes for a suicide verdict — it's a major donor to the local police benevolent fund, and a proper investigation would cost them more than money.

Detective Abel Grey, played by Edward Burns, can't let it go. He learns from the dead boy's girlfriend about months of vicious bullying and a secretive fraternity initiation that likely went wrong. Teacher Betsy, played by Jennifer Ehle, quietly helps him work around the official pressure. Director Nick Willing folds something unsettling into the procedural: the dead boy seems to be steering the investigation himself. Stream The River King (2005) on iFILM.
