In this dread-soaked cerebral thriller from filmmaker Sébastien Marnier (Faultless, The Origin of Evil), a teacher throws himself from a classroom window before the terrified eyes of his students. Despite the tragedy, six of them remain oddly cool and unemotional. Pierre (Laurent Lafitte), the new substitute teacher, notices the hostile, strangely violent behavior of this close-knit clique. Precocious and unusually smart, the six teens seem to be up to something. Pierre becomes obsessed and is quickly in over his head as he's sucked into their dark vision of a doomed future.

With an atmosphere of suffocating paranoia and a killer soundtrack from Zombie Zombie, School’s Out is a Kafkaesque fable of youth failed by the generations before them.
