The Surge (2002)

aka The Source

A gothy kid moves to town and immediately becomes an outcast at his new school.  He befriends a few other outcasts and they all traipse off into the woods, where they trip over a magical rock which gives them strange powers.

For some unknown reason, they all have to take their shirts off when standing on the power rock and none are concerned with any lasting negative effects of a mystery source of power surging through their bodies.

They use their powers on the jocks and bullies at their school and of course one of the outcasts takes the whole thing too far.  After their power is unleashed, the goth kid starts wearing clown white face, the school suddenly becomes badly lit with blue lights, and the camera appears to be on a ship as it rocks back and forth with imaginary waves.  Stupid.
