What can i say? Within the 1st 10 minutes i thought i made a poor choice when the camera shook violently for no apparent reason. When i saw the awful wigs the "scary" children wore i decided it had potential to make me laugh. Boy was i rewarded. The child actors can't help showing their amusement at the wrong times, the deaths are hilarious and the continuity is suspect in a few scenes. My sides were hurting after this show.

It's terrible but in a fun way. Recommended watch with beer and friends if you are at a loss.

As a pro, the main actor is quite talented. In a better directed/written show i think he will do well.

Seriously though, this show nearly killed me. I couldn't breathe i was laughing so hard. Even my dog became concerned. 🤣

Plagiarized shamelessly from the book, "The Midwich Cuckoos", John Wyndham 1957, adapted into two movies, "Village of the Damned", 1960, and 1995 (both excellent, I thought!)

None of the kids in this movie can act, but that actually might fall on the shoulders of the director and writers.

An absolute snooze fest, to quote Abe Simpson I coughed up scarier things. Don't waste your time on this.

I've subjected myself to some pretty awful movies in the past, but this really is the pits.

The script was reportedly finished in 2 weeks and the actual filming in 8 days, during school term so as to use students as extras.

It shows in being so poorly made.

I'm positive the pupils could of done better themselves.

The budget for this film was £2.34 and it was really poorly spent.

I gave it 2 stars because the premise was good and its was pretty amusing. Also, the main demon child looks like my wife did in the early 90s.

Incredibly slow and boring. Primary children could put on a better play.

That's 25 minutes of my life I will never get back (which is as long as I could bare) well 20 minutes actually, I went and made a cup of tea. Boring and badly acted. This story has been done so much better in the past as posted by rsvp321.

Seriously, don't waste your time with this.

This is one of the worst films I have ever seen. The plot is all over the place and never really goes anywhere. The acting is awful and the production itself is very low budget.

Just a really pointless and boring film. Don't waste your time watching it!

I was thinking "why am I watching this?"... Kept watching in hopes that something interesting might happen and those kids would be eventually locked away or destroyed or something... But...

Odd choice of title- it doesn't have anything to do with Village of the Damned. But suspect this has more to do with low budget distribution than it does the film makers.

This film is a lot of fun! Solid opening, great score and an assembly scene jam-packed with extras- I was surprised!

As the situation develops we see some great characters emerge. Particularly the two lead actors and the teacher of the creepy children.

School of the Damned: A rather blatant rip off of Children of the Damned/Village of the Damned. It opens with a teacher being defenestrated by young children using ESP. A new teacher arrives and gradually notices something is odd about the Herbert West (!) School. Conspiracies, bullies bricked, nasty janitors dealt with, all by a group of seven year old children. Effects aren't always great but it's worth a watch. Again this might have worked better as an episode of an anthology series. Directed by Peter Vincent, written by Philip Dyas. On Netflix. 6/10.

All I can say is this film is just so bad, the worse film I have ever seen.

Don't watch.

This is my first review ever and I believe writing this is a lot more enjoyable than watching the movie. Good film if you want to sleep, one of the worst of you actually like movies.

Goodness, this was really terrible, couldn't even finish it. Copied story, poor performance and stupidly boring.

Just watch this so called 'film' and never been so bored. The worst script ever written, I hope whoever wrote this is banned from going near any pens paper for the rest of the life. The budget must be negative numbers because frankly it was shocking. The makeup and wig on Sarah look like the directors went to Poundland and chose the cheapest option. The actual storyline was unclear and sloppy. Acting from most of the characters was appalling a complete disaster. The script was so predictable and anything but good, please never ever waste your time on this movie and DO NOT listen to Netflix when it recommends this to you!

-From a teenage girl who actually knows how to write.

You've seen most of what is served here in a much better way. In horror movies you may consider classics - but even if not you at least will like them more than this. Village of the Damned and so forth come to mind.

Still I reckon it is always eerie to have little ones be ... well evil. I've seen worse and the editing makes certain shocks and effects/deaths work even on the small budget this very likely had ... but will it be enough to keep you interested?

"School of the damned" is a pretty promising title for an intended horror movie, but they didn't in any way live up to it. It fails on the most basic aspects: the story is shaky and goes all over the place, the atmosphere isn't a bit scary, and the acting is below par. With the exception of attractive and sympathetic James Groom, who plays main character Tony, the new teacher who unknowingly enters this weird school, he's the only talented actor in the cast and does his best, but cannot help drowning in the silliness and amateurism that surrounds him. The children that are the sources of all evil are supposed to look extremely menacing and sinister, but cramping your face as if you're constipated doesn't really do the trick. The only thing I liked was the way all the scholars immediately, as a drilled army platoon, responded on the tapping of the staff of the headmaster, that was a nice find. But for the rest: disappointing and totally superfluous.

This is a bad movie. The plot is as pointless as it can get. No reason for what is happening to the film, you will stop caring about it quite soon. The acting also is bad. Not even one I found that could be saved from it. Direction of the film isn't that bad for me and that's why I am giving it a 2 out of 10 instead of 1. Of course the bad acting is a thing that direction could fix maybe they didn't care. The budget is quite low. In general it is a meaningless movie that you will gain nothing by watching it. It has nothing to say. It has nothing to offer. Its length is small if you are not convinced it is that bad; so you can always form your onion opinion which is always the best if you ask me.

Why did they waste a fairly good potential (already done of course ) A mistery !!!!! And why the awfull party wigs on the kids Another mistery Don't waste your time.
