A wrist -shaking, flesh chomping, hormone charged frack pot - it's 'If...' on a trip. The History Boys meets 28 Days later in this rom-com horror school movie. Enjoy the irreverent ride throught the corridors of a beautifully imagined boarding school, complete with good looking moody teenagers (Asa Butterfield and Hermione Corfield), no holds barred sending up the system and some dark characters to laugh at. An exquisitely evil energy exec (Alex Macqueen) has done a deal with a boarding school headmaster (Michael Sheen) to frack up the school grounds. The lore and culture of the school extends back to the time of beasts and trouble is sure to ensue. The dark behaviour of evil pupils towards the others exceeds anything the adult world offers this is the world that our hero and heroine find themselves in. Nick Frost offers a treat as a comic eco-rebel and Simon Pegg the housemaster anguished by the downgrade of matron from hottie to zombie. Latin is not dead but the latin teacher is and an orgy that may have school film clubs reaching for the fast forward button. It's fun, it's evil, it's not high brow and the reviewers will hate it for it.
