WTH did I just watch??

What a mess.

Spoiler - The whole thing centers around lobotomies and a horn dog with a taste for well..yeah... the lead kid is 11 years old so put 2 and 2 together...

I thought this was going to be a supernatural story, and if they gone that route, they would have had something absolutely amazing, even with the lame plot. A nice vengeful child ghost could have caused quite bit of havoc. Girl child ghost would have taken it over the top considering this was all boys.

Instead, what we got was this huge convoluted mess where nothing was explained. The lead character did GTFO but instead of calling 911 when he had the chance, went right back into the main building. Plus some guy living in the basement of the school that was never explained. We never really find out what happened to the main character.

The cinematography was terrible, with shots so tightly framed, they were almost up the kids' noses. It looked it was shot with a Go Pro camera.

I didn't make it that far! When Nathan was in deans office for not paying attention, etc, that was it. The drastic repercussions were ridiculous for the first day and the intro into the staff being nuts was pretty quick in to the movie.
The acting was horrible.
The camera work was choppy and super annoying. Were they "trying" to be artsy or something?
I wasted my money renting it, wasn't going to waste my time too!

Yeah, the DVD synopsis made it sound like it was going to be a supernatural thriller about the kid killing off his tormentors, then... nothing happened. Then there was the padding out and drawing out of every scene. If they didn't draw everything out, it would have been a half hour movie, tops.
