Where detention is the least of your worries.
René Daalder’s cult blend of violence and social allegory takes the classic teen power struggle to its most brutal conclusion. With Derrel Maury’s vengeful student dismantling the pecking order one body at a time, this is high school as a powder keg—no pep rallies, just payback.
