Child's Play (1972) -
This film was everything I hate, bravado, machismo, fighting, toxic masculinity and bully's. I'm also not a huge fan of James Mason.
And despite being set at a boarding school, it didn't even seem to have the subtle undertones of homoeroticism that usually keep me interested enough to continue watching it.
Unfortunately, the story didn't appear to be that exciting either and the actors weren't exactly wowing me with their performances. Add to that the fact that the bedding/incidental music was odd and distracting and I couldn't find anything to like about it.
As a result I didn't watch it to the end. It really wasn't my sort of thing. Violence for the sake of it, as depicted here, does nothing for me and the mystery of why it was happening just wasn't enough to keep me watching.
Unscored as unfinished.
