HBO has a long history of producing some amazing films and this post-Ozploitation piece is no exception. I can remember first watching it with my cousin while sleeping over my grandmother's house and being scared shitless. Because this story could happen anywhere, any time. And apparently it did. For real.
Part survival adventure, part Lord Of The Flies descent, it remains one the most visceral, haunting, and at the same time empowering movies ever made about teachers and students.
