This had so much promise. A good build-up, great acting (Roxanne McKee is stunning by the way) and very tense in parts. F could have been one of the all-time great British thrillers. The tension starts in the classroom and proceeds to a nighttime set of chase/catch one of the best I've seen recently. Unfortunately it's let down by a very weak ending.
... View MoreActors occasionally say that they don't watch their own films; here, I would understand why, as there are some very good actors (Aubrey, Gemmell, Schofield) in this nasty piece of work, who've done much better than this. If you like bringing up your most recent meal, this is for you (I didn't, but it has the potential). The only thing worthy of compliment is the achievement of a finished film on the rumoured £150,000, so it no doubt profited well. You will probably find this on late night TV horror channels, as I did (never again). Possibly the worst thing I found about this, is the (SPOILER ALERT!!!) level of sickening, psychopathic violence performed, naturally, on several women- this is 'school of misogyny' without a doubt.I wonder about the mindset and motivation of the original writer(s) who dreamed up the story line, particularly the gratuitously sick attacks on female characters.
... View MoreWith most American teen horrors these days being about as believable as a cow jumping over the moon ,this is not bad at all Just a bit off fun really but take it from a horror movie buff maybe it just resonates better with a British audience If you had the teachers like I had It might bring you some overdue stress realise However if you are a teacher like me it will bring many chuckles only a teacher will understand Was trying to think of any similar movies Erm prom night maybe but not really See it it won't harm
... View MoreI can't really say I was impressed with this film. It seemed promising, with a kind of oppressive bleakness following the main character's thoroughly depressing existence. With the clear dysfunction between him and his daughter, it seemed like there was a clear foundation for a disturbing and realistic horror movie, but it was not to be.I understand that horror films are based on what people are afraid of, but this film is so unapologetically terrified of the youth of today that I can't help but wonder if anyone involved in writing it has ever actually spoken to a teenager, or if they just base all of their knowledge on what The Daily Mail tells them. None of the teenagers are portrayed as anything beyond either bratty, or murderous. And yet the film still lacks the kind of realistic, bleak air that the opening sections suggested. The fact that the hooded assailants were actually portrayed as nigh super-powered just seemed to hit it home further that this whole film is based entirely on absolute terror of teens.Neither realistic enough to be disturbing, nor supernatural enough to be coherent.
