Please don't spend money on this.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

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.

Actors 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.

This didn't look to me like the sort of the film that would have been released in cinemas, it looks too much like a low-budget independent film that would go straight to TV or DVD, but it had a good rating, so I tried it. Basically in the fictional Wittering College in North London, English teacher Robert Anderson (David Schofield) is hit in the face by a student, to avoid being sued by the student's parents he is forced to take a three month holiday. Robert a few months later is still affected by the incident, he has become emotionally disturbed, alcoholic and separated from his wife Helen (Juliet Aubrey). Their daughter Kate (Eliza Bennett) lives with her mother and has classes with her father, but she does not respect Robert, he is also loathed by headmistress Sarah Balham (Ruth Gemmell) who wants to get rid of him, but the Union will not allow her to fire him. Robert has read in the news about another school experiencing violence, he sends a memo advising school employees, he is considered paranoid and delusional by everyone. One day after hours Robert and Kate get into a heated argument, he ends up hitting her, she leaves the room, soon after Robert notes strange movements outside the school, he advises security guard James (Finlay Robertson) to do something, but he is ignored. Soon enough however Robert realises that his paranoia is justified, Wittering College is surrounded and under a siege by a gang of hooligans in hoodies, he needs to find and protect daughter Kate and they need to somehow call for help. Also starring Emma Cleasby as Lucy, Roxanne McKee as Nicky, Tom Mannion as Gary, Max Fowler as Jake Eaves, Mike Burnside as Head of School Board Douglas and Jamie Kenna as Brian Stanton. Schofield is certainly convincing as the cynical and alienated teacher, but I'm not sure I agree with the critics giving this film four stars out of five, it is not particularly scary or bloody, it does seem to be more a psychodrama, it has a couple of tense moments, shadowy sequences and a bleak feel, but overall I didn't find it all that entertaining, it's a reasonable horror thriller. Worth watching, at least once!

This film looked quite good when i first learned about it but as soon as i watched it i thought that was the most wasted 1 and a half hours of my life. I thought the plot was dreadful and how many schools have security guards anyway? I know for a fact i am not the only person who thought it was crap as i leaned it to my friend the next day and he said exactly the same as me. I am glad i only paid £1 for this rubbish as i would be mad if i would of paid more for such a rubbish film. Usually i enjoy films as i own over 350 but this was dreadful. I did not only feel disappointed by this film but i also felt quite uneasy about this film as people are murdering school teachers for no other reason than for fun. Even a poor security guard is locked in a bin and set on fire and i felt who would do that. I know it is only a film but i found it disturbing. This film is one of Britain's worst films ever made. Anyone who is planning on watching this film should have second thoughts about this film.
