The premise
Two schoolboy delinquents learn a lesson that they will never forget when a teacher at the end of his tether decides to abduct them.
Horror Vault's take
When a beleaguered teacher reaches his absolute breaking point, two troublemaking schoolboys find themselves in a situation far beyond anything they could have anticipated. What begins as a story of classroom frustration escalates into a deeply unsettling battle of wills with no easy answers. The film forces viewers to sit with uncomfortable questions about justice, cruelty, and who — if anyone — holds the moral high ground. Taut and stripped-back, it lingers long after the credits roll.
