    Rated - 1 star [Highly rated reviewer]

    Dramatised Fiction

    Attention seeking drama students trying to shock while stereotyping ordinary everyday people, and making capital out of news stories which apply to a small minority of circumstances. Bringing all the news stories together and placing them in one school amongst one group of people is tarnishing an easy target and an unforgivable means of trying to achieve fame and fortune at someone else's expense. You may enjoy the storyline but please see it for what it is, exaggerated fiction, regardless of what other comments are made by people who think they are living on the edge.....(and this is written by someone who has been threatened with a knife, threatened with having kneecaps blown off and physical violence...all very rare and unusual occurrences)

I thought we’d do well because the first film did. It’s got a big following on DVD. But I didn&# Read more
