The School

Impossible to follow. I actually had to look up others interpretations of this movie to even PARTIALLY understand what was happening. Acting was terrible. Lots of repeated sentences in the script. Nothing is explained. Not even scary. Just... ridiculous and confusing. A giant mystery that remains unsolved. It doesn't explain who the Weepers are or why they really want the kids, it doesnt explain who the Wallwalker is, why the "forbidden zone" is so forbidden, or how David even ended up in The School, why they took him. It doesnt explain how she even wound up in The School. Did all the kids die when the school burnt down or are they kids who died in the hospital and went down to The School? Who are the Hungries and how did they end up that way? I know Hungries come from the basement, but how do they turn into that? So many unanswered questions.

This in no way, shape, or form shaould be called a a horror maybe fantasy, adventure, or just incoherent crap, I should have could have but unfortunately didn't listen to the other reviews.one saving grace for me anyway was, being From Canada, the Aussie accents masked how bad the acting was.

Dr. Amy Wintercraig (Megan Drury ) cares for her son David in a two-year coma. The hospital was built on the spot where a school was burned down. Amy slips into a netherworld of the creepy school run by children lead by a sadistic bully. Amy searches for her son David, trapped in this world. The plot and explanation weren't that tight, but I liked the creepy school scenes and make-up effects. Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

This is such an awful movie. The script was so basic and badly written, the direction terrible. Couldn't keep my eyes open. The lead was so theatre and overdone. The kids were ok. This was clearly the directors first attempt in the role. The makeup is overdone and I doubt there was any need to whitewash one of the children's face. Don't waste your time or money.

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.
