School of the Damned

The budget for this film was £2.34 and it was really poorly spent.

I gave it 2 stars because the premise was good and its was pretty amusing. Also, the main demon child looks like my wife did in the early 90s.

What can i say? Within the 1st 10 minutes i thought i made a poor choice when the camera shook violently for no apparent reason. When i saw the awful wigs the "scary" children wore i decided it had potential to make me laugh. Boy was i rewarded. The child actors can't help showing their amusement at the wrong times, the deaths are hilarious and the continuity is suspect in a few scenes. My sides were hurting after this show.

It's terrible but in a fun way. Recommended watch with beer and friends if you are at a loss.

As a pro, the main actor is quite talented. In a better directed/written show i think he will do well.

Seriously though, this show nearly killed me. I couldn't breathe i was laughing so hard. Even my dog became concerned. 🤣

Incredibly slow and boring. Primary children could put on a better play.

"School of the damned" is a pretty promising title for an intended horror movie, but they didn't in any way live up to it. It fails on the most basic aspects: the story is shaky and goes all over the place, the atmosphere isn't a bit scary, and the acting is below par. With the exception of attractive and sympathetic James Groom, who plays main character Tony, the new teacher who unknowingly enters this weird school, he's the only talented actor in the cast and does his best, but cannot help drowning in the silliness and amateurism that surrounds him. The children that are the sources of all evil are supposed to look extremely menacing and sinister, but cramping your face as if you're constipated doesn't really do the trick. The only thing I liked was the way all the scholars immediately, as a drilled army platoon, responded on the tapping of the staff of the headmaster, that was a nice find. But for the rest: disappointing and totally superfluous.

I've subjected myself to some pretty awful movies in the past, but this really is the pits.

The script was reportedly finished in 2 weeks and the actual filming in 8 days, during school term so as to use students as extras.

It shows in being so poorly made.

I'm positive the pupils could of done better themselves.
