The premise
Seiji Hasumi is a popular English teacher in a private high school. He is also a violent and sociopathic killer who concocts an extreme plan to deal with the rise of bullying and bad behavior among the student body.
Horror Vault's take
Behind the charming facade of a beloved English teacher lurks a calculating sociopath with absolutely no moral limits. When misconduct and bullying spiral out of control at his private high school, Seiji Hasumi devises a chilling and extreme response that will leave the campus forever changed. Director Takashi Miike delivers a slow-burn character study that erupts into something viscerally overwhelming. Fans of transgressive Japanese horror will find this one difficult to shake.
