Learning can be murder in writer/director Ruth Platt's astonishingly bravura art-house horror, the no-holds-barred love child of Ben Wheatley, Harmony Korine, Ken Loach and Fritz Lang. Fin and Joel are two teenage wasters running wild in an arid rural landscape. But their bad education is about to take a turn for the intellectual best as someone at the end of their tether has decided to teach both schoolboys a lesson they will never forget. A dark, claustrophobic and bloody coming of age love story with a shock final destination, this morally challenging chiller will shake your well-ordered world. (FrightFest)

The Lesson is a film that I like for its theme, which is probably the main reason why I give it at least an average rating. It's not a film that I ended up liking for its message. It's ultimately just a bit silly and too elementary, where in the end it's still just about the viewer watching some torture. And there’s plenty of that. There is also plenty of blood, but don't expect anything unique when it comes to the gore.
