Watch F For Free

Don't Believe the Hype

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

I know that there is no golden rule saying that all characters in a scary film must be likable, but I think that it really helps one's overall enjoyment of a horror if there are at least a few people to identify with or root for; similarly, there's nothing to say that indiscriminate on-screen carnage needs to be justified, but it's quite nice to be given a motive for such behaviour.F, from director Johannes Roberts, features almost no-one worth caring about and offers little explanation for its random killings, making it a very frustrating watch—a shame, because the basic set up has plenty of potential and Roberts shows a lot of promise with his handling of the visuals, making great use of his surprisingly creepy setting, a secondary school after hours.Things go wrong almost immediately with the introduction of the film's central character, teacher Robert Anderson (David Schofield), who loses the viewer's sympathy with his insensitive and very unprofessional classroom manner, belittling his less able students in front of the whole class (and quite deservedly getting a head-butt for his troubles). We then get to meet Anderson's bitchy superior Sarah (Ruth Gemmell), his wayward daughter Kate (Eliza Bennett) and her douche of a boyfriend Jake (Max Fowler), and the world's most useless security guard, James (Finlay Robertson). So many horrible people in one building...The killers in this film—faceless 'hoodies' who understandably have issues with Anderson, but who for some reason also vent their rage on less deserving members of staff and their own peers—prowl the corridors of the school like wild animals, quite literally at times, silently scaling furniture and shelving to pounce on their quarry; I understand that Roberts wanted his killers to appear predatory, but he takes it just a bit too far—I've seen ninjas less stealthy than these kids. It's all a bit hard to take seriously at times.The dark locale does allow for quite a bit of tension, the odd shock, and some occasional gore, with the death of F's only really amiable character, hot teacher Nicky (Roxanne McKee), being particularly nasty, but as a whole it is a very flawed film, the inconclusive and unsatisfying ending being the final straw.

This is my first review and I'm literally doing this to save people from this atrocious movie!! I was sucked in by the few decent reviews thinking "maybe it wasn't everyone's cup of tea but it'll appeal to my broad taste in movies" I was WRONG!!!It's just a completely pointless, unrealistic, ridiculous movie.If you watch this movie "I told you so" springs to mind. I don't know how anyone could enjoy this movie - some of the reviews say "fill in the blanks for yourself". Donnie Darko - YES. Great film to fill in the blanks and keep you thinking. This film!? NO. I'd rather watch a blank screen for 76mins or read a book!AVOID AVOID AVOID

I found out about his one late last year! Was a tough DVD to find in hmv because of it's uninspiring name. But got it & watched it!A Pretty good film! A rare type of film at that! A British one as well making it stand out! The kills were intense! Like the security man being burned alive inside the wheelie bin. It was very Gory & pretty interesting not to mention Extremely Brutal!! The story line was OK. Not giving us much as to why the attack! Although following what happened from the very beginning, it seems like it was revenge for how the teacher treated on of his students! But it could have been explained abit more & gave us an idea as to why! Instead of us having to 'guess' what happened.The ending was a little disappointing! Considering that I wanted to know what the motivation was & if they got caught etc! But wasn't too bad, a good cliff hanger but it overall was a great film! 9/10

For £150,000 budget this was a good watch. Reading the other reviews, would say it's smart and well shot. The gore scenes were well done and the hoodies, well I didn't feel we needed an explanation unlike other reviewers. The anti hero dad was developed well and the hanging ending was done well, justified the film's brevity given the limitation on budget. My only criticism is the police visit, didn't really add anything to the plot. The Head Teacher was particularly good and immensely dislikeable. Was the story realistic? Hell no What schools can afford two security guards, a fancy gym and a library like that? For me, this film can hold its own within the thriller/horror genre.
