Japanese school teacher psycho

Lesson of the Evil (2012)

Written & directed by Takashi Miike this film stars Hideaki Ito, Elina Mizuno, Takayuki Yamada and Mitsuru Fukikoshi. Initially appearing to be a good and caring teacher it turns out that an English teacher at a Japanese school has dark secrets.

Essentially this is not a very deep film about a psychopath that becomes a slasher type film. While there might not be a great deal of depth to the story the finale has a great back drop and is visually as gory as you would expect from Miike. I enjoyed the performances but maybe the film could have done with being a little more creepy to begin with.


3/5
