The School

It's very Peter Pan-esque mixed with a darker, mature tone. It's not the typical jump-scare type of horror film but instead tries to make you feel uncomfortable and tense, which I like. Can it get a bit boring at times? Yes. You're gonna have to buckle down with the story and enjoy the decent acting, especially by Will McDonald's character, Zac. Mesmerizing from the start, he completely sells you on the idea of how psychotic and deranged his character is. And when his acting does fall flat it's because of the sub-par script. The editing could've been better, too. Having seen a set photo of Zac's make up I at no point saw that in the movie because of how terribly lit the film was (a cheap tool to get out of extensive post-editing). Overall, it's a standard thriller film that tries to disgust and creep you out, but doesn't quite hit it's marks. Will's performance and some parts of the film are the only reason I could think of to convince anyone to watch it.

I did start writing a very positive review for this, about half way through watching the movie. But as I was writing, and started commenting on the positives, I also started looking at the negatives. And as the movie went on, the negatives started mounting up. But I found, on balance, despite its many faults, it had...something. There are some excellent set pieces, and genuinely creepy scenes, and I loved a lot of the sets. Some of the story telling is quite clumsy , and obvious, and loses its way in places. It does drag a little in the middle. Most of the child actors are fairly poor, and make you feel like your watching a high school play at times, either with their stilted delivery, or over emphasis. The main character Zac, has been watching Heath Ledger's Joker rendition waaay too much and overacts to the max. So you're probably wondering why I awarded this 6 stars? It just had that certain quirkiness and enough good scenes to make it worth while watching. Don't expect a masterpiece, but give it a go

Got a bit confusing, but its one of them type of movies that u have to let it unfold & pay attention to if u really care to figure it out. The kids tried their best, but kinda ruined the movie & had a "lost boys" kind of feel to it. I wouldnt really call this a horror movie nor scary, but it had its interesting moments & well set up scenes for seeming so cheap. I can't really hate on the movie cause it was a good concept, but I feel if it had more money it may have went a bit better on the horror side. This seemed like a scary movie for kids "with their parents".. Is it worth it to watch I can't say no, but I really wouldnt recommend it to everyone.

Kinda makes me think of the movie silent hill even tho that movie was better but it makes me think of the knock off of it.

The thing is that until the plot is fully revealed is kind of confusing. Nevertheless, I have to say that I could see the whole thing thanks to those dark fantasy touches.

I saw a mix of like a lot of film. And as I said at the beginning is confusing because you do not know if you are seeing some kind of post-apocalyptic movie or what.

It is not outstanding but I think it will please more to feminine sensitivities-not only women ones.
