Greetings again from the darkness. We’ve all had that teacher. You know, the one with an evil streak who just seemed to thrive on making students miserable. Throw in a staff and administrators who feel the same way, and the casting choice for the teacher becomes...
Greetings again from the darkness. Goodness, this review has been so difficult to write. Not because of anything wrong with how this documentary was made or filmed – in fact, from a technical standpoint, it is very well done. Rather it was due to my personal opinions...
