Seven students have to spend an hour in detention, for bullying a
fellow student of theirs. Theoretically, they ought to think about what
they have done ... but since the teacher's (Darcy Grant) out of the room
they decide to play a game of hangman instead ... until the very guy they
have bullied enters the room, carrying a loaded gun. But he doesn't just
want to shoot them all, because now it's his time to play ... Quite
effective little film of the anti-bullying variety that works because it
doesn't try to hammer its message home, instead starts out as something
resembling a comedy before a sudden shift of tone that's still commendable
for its relative lack of excitedness, instead it goes through with telling
its story and even presents its finale in a very "unspectacular"
way (the main action happens off-camera) - which makes it all the more
shocking and memorable in hindsight. Well worth a watch!
