Gruesome School Trip

The sensitive Onnoval (Serge Price) is the best student in his class and he loves Liselore (Lisa Smit), who was the girlfriend of the bully Gino (Jim van der Panne). His teacher Meester de Vriend (Romijin Conen) believes he is a promising writer and poet. Gino picks on Onnoval all the time, but Onnoval does not fight against Gino because he believes he is a werewolf. When the successful writer of horror tales Nol van Paulo (Tom Jansen) comes for a lecture in his class, he advises Onnonval to never write a story for the evil Ferluci (Fred Goessens). However, Onnoval is humiliated by Gino and very upset and jealous he writes a story about a class excursion in a horror bus to a horror park, where Gino is killed by a vampire, and gives his story to Ferluci. Later he regrets, but Nol van Paulo tells him that the only way to fix the situation would be stealing his note book and rewriting the conclusion.

I have never heard anything about this character or this novel, apparently very well-known in Netherlands, but I really liked this enjoyable movie. The special effects are weak, probably due to a restraint budget, but never depreciate the story, since the screenplay is original, funny and full of action. Viewers that like the genre of fantasy and fantastic stories will certainly love this delightful film. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil): "Viagem Fantástica" ("Fantastic Voyage")
