Schools Out Forever (A film from Rebellion - publishers of 2000AD)








































When the last issue of 2000AD arrived I wasn't the only one in the house who noticed the advert for the new Rebellion film Schools Out Forever which stars Giles or rather Anthony Head of Buffy fame. My girlfriend a dig fan of the horror genre wanted to watch this so when the spoilt brats had their interview on the telly we rented this movie via Amazon Prime and were not disappointed. Far from it!

Given we've been in the middle of a lock down as the result of a pandemic being entertained by a film about a pandemic, albeit an almost terminal one for mankind may seem strange but this movie is both frightening, heartwarming and gory all at the same time.

The accompanying text to this trailer sets the scene:

No sooner has 15-year-old Lee Keegan been expelled from his private school than a pandemic spreads like wildfire around the globe. With his father dead and mother trapped abroad, Lee is given one instruction: go back to school. But safety and security at St. Mark's School for Boys is in short supply. Its high walls can't stop the local parish council from forming a militia and imposing martial law, while inside the dorms the end of the world is having a dangerous effect on his best friend and his unrequited crush on the school nurse isn't helping him concentrate on staying alive.

Our Rating: 5 Stars (Highly Recommended)
