In 1965 Heather (Agnes Bruckner) is sent to an exclusive all girls school by her parents who really don't care about her. All the teachers act strange and Heather is tormented by one of the more vicious students. She slowly (VERY slowly) finds out she's there for a reason. Things get darker and students start disappearing and Heather realizes she might be next.
We have a lot of good actors (Bruckner, Patricia Clarkson and Bruce Campbell) who are great but this just doesn't work. The story is confusing and it moves very slowly. When things barrel out of control at the end it isn't scary at all--just puzzling. Also add in bad special effects and you have a pretty poor movie. It's too bad because they have a good cast but a bad script.
