“Relentlessly abused by her stepfather, Anna is ultimately driven to kill him and lands at a dangerously sadistic juvenile detention center.”
Sounds promising, right? Kind of like one of those old school sexploitation/women in prison type of films from the 1970's. Now, who isn't up for one of those? The only problem is that this is a movie from 2013. A time not known for its high level of exploitation output. Well, I was a little intrigued to see how such a thing would play out, so I decided to give it a go. Well, I should have known better. The movie is called
Jailbait and it is maybe half of a good effort. It is hardly a film to get all nuts about.
There was probably a time when a teacher seducing a student was considered taboo and was an act that was completely unheard of. It must have been a long time ago. It seems like we can not go all that long without story of some young teacher seducing a student for illicit sexual escapades. Just the other day I saw a news story about a guy who took off with a female student on the sports team he was coaching, only to get caught trying to get a job to make some money to get across the border. It all makes the plot of The Teacher seem all that more mundane when all you need to do is turn on the news for something more scandalous. Still, I found the movie to be pretty watchable, although not terribly good.
