Run Time:

At St. Joseph Academy, after a professor has jumped from the window during class, Pierre is enlisted to substitute teach and help the students cope. The class contains a group of intellectually advanced students who, from the start, seem odd to Pierre. They are reviled by other students and seem coldly removed from everything. When their behavior becomes more disturbing, Pierre follows them and finds a cache of videos the children have made—horrifying images of tragedies, animal slaughter, and mankind’s violent cruelty. These children view the world as doomed. They are using their intellects to isolate and shield themselves from it. And most frightening of all, they seem to be planning something. SCHOOL’S OUT builds dread like a slowly boiling pot. Are these students evil? Worse, are they the inevitable product of a world we’ve let spin out of control? Will the answers drive Pierre to follow his colleague? It all leads to an unexpected and blood-chilling finale. Class is now terrifyingly in session. (In French with subtitles) —C.R.
