The Student

The movie overall was a little better than I thought it would be, however it was slightly predictable as this sort of story line has been covered before.

You know how it is, you have a streaming cold and all you can do is rest, gurgle away and watch endless nonsense on the television. This is where I find myself today, plonked in front of the idiot box. I tried searching for this film under the title "Tormenting Abigail" which is the name that it appeared under, on UK television. The only non gurgling activity that I have managed today, is adding this fact under the trivia section!

This movie made me angry. It seems to me , that if Professor Willis had come down from her high horse , then maybe Vance could have been given the guidance and attention that he clearly needed , because he was an exceptional student , with great potential .

Instead , she obsessed with him , and focused on her own past experience , which should have taught her a valuable lesson , ( obviously not ), and then perhaps there would not be 2 dead people at the end of this movie .

Just because Vance came from " the wrong side of the tracks " , does not make him a " bad one " , but Professor High and Mighty could not see past her own obsession with " ethics" , and because of her incompetence , Vance's talent was wasted .

Awful film , with a terrible message .

Another "Trinket" From Netflix that even though it was low budget, I kept with it to the end. No Stars in this one, although they were competent actors and actresses. The plot was thinner than weak tea, but it still kept me occupied for the full 90 minutes of the movie! Not the worst film that I have seen on Netflix this month, but not particularly memorable. I did enjoy it though, so in the final analysis I guess I found it to be a good movie and worth the watch.

Acting,story,directing are all atrocious. Very unconvincing and poorly directed.
