In this movie, A group of crazed Aussie group of thugs, kidnap a group of students in a school house and hold them hostage. A movie, with a plot that doesn't look promising at first, manages to stabilized itself with all the suspense. It maybe isn't the best of movies, but all the thrills, and chills are all in the right place, and it isn't such a bad movie to watch. *** out of ****
