    "That's A Lot Of Pedagogical, Utopian Nonsense!"...

    SCHOOL OF FEAR concerns the disappearance of a student at a boarding school. When the school's faculty try to solve the mystery on their own, it gets far more complicated and even deadly.

    While not the worst crime drama ever made, it is rather longwinded and a bit silly at times. For example: The camerawork can be hilarious, with sudden, extreme zooms filling in for any real suspense. This is accentuated by the overwrought musical soundtrack.

    In spite of all this, it's worth a watch, and has a true surprise ending...
