Another obscure title that was almost impossible to find a trailer for.

This film is basically Disturbing Behaviour just without the fun, pace and good characters. It is mind numbingly slow it almost turns you into a zombie too. In fact they weren't really zombies in the undead sense. Just in the brainwashed mindless but good behaviour way.

The closest thing to zombies come 5 minutes before the end when some old dudes are denied their serum, made from the brains of students, that keeps them young and they waste away. From what I gather it's the process of making this serum and replacing part of the students brain with a crystal that makes them into the mindless good student. And only some good ol' 80's rock and roll can destroy them.

I did like the school dance scene. They are all dancing the exact same boring steps while this black dude is singing totally funky music wondering what the hell is wrong with them.

It picked up a little towards the end but it was all to little to late for me.

I noticed Jay Roach's name in the credits as the camera operator. Must have been where he got his start. Another useless fact, this is the first film I've downloaded and watched from the playstation network. But only because it was virtually IMPOSSIBLE to find through all other methods. (Unless you want to watch it all on youtube. By all means go ahead.)

So I guess Disturbing Behaviour borrowed a lot from this film. But it did it so much better, and with a much more attractive cast. I'd be watching that instead.
