My quick rating - 5,6/10. I have to say that was a pretty well thought out movie. It may not have been the most positive outlook on being sent away to a boarding school, but then again, who hasn't been haunted by nightmares to be sent away to a looney bin where the headmaster is just as crazy as the kids? The acting in this is actually pretty good, as Luke Prael shows a strong presence on the screen. The movie itself is more thriller, than horror really. Of course, things don't exactly go as planned in sending the troubled teen away. Overall, much better than I expected and worth a look if you run across it. Not a blood and guts, nor a jump scare, but more a psychological type suspense to it.
