“In a highly regimented boarding school, a pair of students discover that things are not as they seem.”
You know I can’t resist a good suspense horror. A movie doesn’t have to have ghosts or monsters to get your breath to be held in suspense.
There is no shortage of sexual discrimination and the female of the human species is often taken for granted and thrust into submission. This movie takes it o a new level – no pun – by showing from a young girl’s view.
The concept of time is hard to view here as the entire “school” is window and clock-less. We are only able to discern that at this point, the outside is in some sort of post-apocalyptic state… or is it?
Obedience is the first virtue. Curiosity is the first vice.
This type of conditioning from such a young age makes their “clean” girls completely subservient to the “school” and they believe they will then be given to a perfect family as they move up in levels.
So is it slaves? Sex trafficking? None of the girls seem to know anything about anatomy, math or even reading.
SPOILERS FROM THIS POINT
All we are is skin and bones when it comes down to it. And by creating a “school” that is void of any outside exposure, the skin is at its very peak with no damage from any environmental factors.
Which is why this “school” keeps girls till age sixteen and then takes that skin to rich aging women.
What?!? Talk about a twist!!
