The Expelled (2010)

aka: F

While marketed as a slasher, the story follows the downward spiral of one defeated teacher as he fails to put his life back together after being attacked by a student. An unlikely protagonist, he must make the right choices when a gang of hooded assailants invade his school. For a rather unknown film, it is surprisingly well shot and convincingly acted. As random killers the hoodies are way too sly, their acrobatic movements almost supernatural. The conclusion makes sense in the arc of the character, but it leaves the film incomplete in many ways.
