The premise
A straight-edged teacher finds trouble when an honors student is willing to do anything to get an A.
Horror Vault's take
When a dedicated high school teacher takes on a new honors student, what begins as a promising academic relationship quickly curdles into something far more dangerous. The student's obsession with a perfect grade reveals a chilling, calculating mind willing to cross every moral and legal line to get what he wants. A slow-burn psychological thriller, Dismissed dissects how a seemingly model pupil can become the most terrifying person in the room. The film keeps tension coiled tight as the teacher realizes — perhaps too late — exactly what he is dealing with.
