Tame TV movie version of a not particularly memorable Stephen King short, as featured in his compilation 'Night Shift'.
A teacher moves into a new town, and takes on a particularly difficult class, known for a bad attitude. Several years earlier, when he was still a boy, he and his brother were attacked in a rail tunnel by a group of leather jacket wearing thugs, and his brother was stabbed. Now, the students in his class are beginning to change, and some bear an uncanny resemblance to the gang that attacked him so long ago....
Spooky, eh?
Well, not really. This is a TV movie, after all, so we don't expect much, and not much is precisely what we get.
It's competent, I suppose, which is why it doesn't score lower, but not one that will resonant through the cerebellum for too long, so your sense of balance should remain unimpaired.
Average at best.
