A teacher becomes obsessed with a student, and starts helping her out. But just how far will this teacher go to get her way?
Duh. Duh. Duh!!!!
Creeped out? Me neither.
Too be fair, there are several competent performances. Boti Bliss is convincing and surprisingly sympathetic as the crazy teacher. Mia Rose Frampton is OK as the lead, but won't win any Oscars.
But there are just way too many problems with the film. The location, supposedly a high- end girls school, is barely seen. Most of the action takes play in random rooms with no connection to one another. We don't know if we're in a dorm, or an apartment, or a luxury condo, and frankly, we don't care.
There are themes of insanity that just don't ring true. The movie thinks it's disturbing, but it doesn't go the full mile with it. We don't get the feeling that this teacher is truly a threat. She's just this sad sick woman. I felt sorry for her more than the main character.
The movie thinks it's smarter than it is, playing with these concepts that it just can't properly explore with its TV movie limitations.
I liked, however, the scene with the mom and the daughter, where we discover how far corruption has played in their lives. That worked. They should have expanded on it more.
The ending made it fall apart. And we have a completely pointless "1 year later" for a scene that didn't need that time jump to work.
I wouldn't recommend this to anyone really. It's less than mediocre.
