Let's be realistic.

A Masterpiece!

Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Out here in the US, this film is called SCHOOL'S OUT. When I rented it, I had no idea that it was a German movie. And when I started it, I knew something was wrong. The dubbing on this tape is very poorly done. Why the hell didn't they just subtitle the damn thing? By the end of the first hour, things have finally picked up, and then we are merely confused. But, by the end of this tripe, everything explains itself. SCHOOL'S OUT gets 3/5 because it was so poorly dubbed.

german giant of the thriller drama robert sigl manages to excite 90 minutes of horror in the tradition of "scream 1". fast speed, young actors with great talent - bloody showdown for a typical Sigl-Final. Cool horror in an intense and frightening atmosphere.

A good slasher movie, made in Germany, with a good young cast of anonymous people, this movie is a threat for the fan of the genre. A few of the stylish murder scene are very well made and very effective in catching the eye of the spectator (and new enough to hold the attention even of the more smaliziate viewers). After all, a movie to belong to every genre fan video shelf.

This dark and brooding chiller import proves that not only Americans can make effective horror films. Just like OIe Bornedals Danish original `Nightwatch', `School's Out' provides a highly menacing atmosphere from start to finish and some unexpected plot twists. It also delivers a top-notch performance from its female lead. Great Grand Guignol set pieces abound in the eerie main location of the ancient school building. The visionary quality of some scenes also adds a special touch and makes this more of an `adult' horror film than a common teenie slasher.
