School's Out Forever

The conflicts among the characters are a shaky and shiny pandemic spin on Lord of the Flies, but it’s acceptable as a genre snack. (19.02.2021)

A Pandemic thriller crossed with a school invasion and it's good fun, with a sometimes unexpected edge! An apocalypse breaks out in the world, a deadly virus and people start going crazy, looting, killing. Corpses litter the streets, rival gangs form and the action focuses on St Mark's School, where a group of immune students struggle to survive. It's got decent visuals, likeable actors and when it comes to action it's thrilling and suitably brutal. The only downside is that the film is kind of silly, especially at the end some of the decisions downright annoyed me, but otherwise I had an above average time and there are more dead bodies than I would have hoped for before watching it. Definitely a good one-shot. Story***, Action****, Humor**, Violence***, Entertainment****, Music****, Visuals***, Atmosphere***, Suspense***. 6.5/10. (18.02.2021)
