This was a big surprise to me because the DVD cover said "Fight club in a school", and I associated it with the well-known Fight club with Brad Pitt (that was excellent too,but very different).

From the one side I hate movies that are so good they make me want to hit the sadistic step-father, to shake the complacent, frightened mother and make her defend her son by getting rid of that horrid husband-it's frustrating to want to do these things from your sofa! From the other side, I would not trade a movie like this for "war of the Worlds" for anything! It involves the viewer-the unfairness of it, the cruelty of it, and above all, the truth of it is devastating.

All the actors were wonderful, and Andreas Wilson was absolutely superb-something in his manner reminded me very much of James Dean and Alain Delon. I hope we'll see many more movies from the talented team that made "Evil".

For those reviewers who were a little upset thinking we would not see this movie in America-be happy for us-it's here!!
