The School (2018)
7/10
Not horror, but a pretty solid fantasy movie
7 January 2019
This one follows Amy, a young doctor, as she struggles with having a comatose son. She finds herself in a strange, dark, fantasy world where it falls to her to discover the source of the darkness and save everyone. It wasn't the most consistent in tone or genre- parts reminded me of Labyrinth, others of Lord of the Flies, still others of Gotham, and I spent the first half mostly wondering where it was going. But it was cohesive on its own terms and managed to be visually and emotionally compelling without overuse of the obvious triggers involved. It wasn't at all what I expected, but I was pleasantly surprised.
