Believe me, the synopsis is a lot better than the movie.

The premise sounded good and I liked another work by Anthony Shaffer. Took awhile to get to the good stuff though. The glimpse into the life of this private school was interesting, but not really what I hoped for. The ending redeemed it slightly, but it wasn't pulled off that well. To be honest, I had more fun watching the "Cheesy" previews found on the DVD. If you happen to catch this one and it's the "Cheesy" release, be sure to check that feature out.
