Slaughterhouse Rulez (2018 Crispian Mills & co-scr)

A misfire after the truly original Fantastic Fear of Everything, partly because it involves a silly plot featuring fracking and underground monsters - otherwise there's the potential of a good If-like take on public school... is there? I'm not actually sure, now... Did make me want to watch that (there's a photo of Macdowell for reference) and Unman, Wittering and Zigo.

Finn Cole is fine, still have my doubts about Asa Butterfield. Simon Pegg, Michael Sheen (not at his usual standard), Hermione Corfield, Jo Hartley (This Is England, Ill Manors), Jamie Blackley, Alex McQueen, Margot Robbie, Nick Frost, Isabella Laughland (geek whose character could have been made more of).

Anything with carnivorous aliens is a bit crap (cf. A Quiet Place).
