The Crash (2026) on Netflix


A look at the crash that killed two young men when the car Mackenzie Shirilla was dricving slammed into the side of a building.

THE CRASHED rattled my cage. It's not so much the accident but that the behavior that lead up to it was shocking. Parents let their kids drink and do drugs in their homes (never mond the morals of it, apparently Ohio where this all went down has social hosting laws which means they can get sued). I'm shocked at the parents  disconnecting all the the social media stuff Shirilla was posting and insisting that she was a "good kid" when there is something off there. 

Shirilla doesn't come off that well and I'm shocked she agreed to be interviewed. The police reveal how her parents were constantly fixing things for her. Nothing she did ever had consequences because her parents shielded her.  She never learned that things can't be taken back and watchiung the film you realize that if the crash was intentional, she probably didn't think anything would happen of any consequences.

Actually the most damning moment is during her emotional recounting that she loved her boyfriend and that she doesn't know what happened when she suddenly turns off the tears to talk to her attorney.  What the holy F was she doing with the cameras rolling.  It kind of collapses any notion that she wasn't a sociopath.

I loved this. See it.
