Scum - 1979

Scum is really a little treasure of a Movie

It is set in a British Borstal for young offenders.
By offenders I mean thieves, killers, rapists, assailants of all kinds and other examples of teenage psychotic idiosyncrasy.

I really stumbled upon this one
I really enjoyed it
It takes about 15 minutes to settle into the accent. Once you're in...you're hooked.

The violence is absolutely primitive.
No time for CGI nor censorship.

These guys hate each other and its all about survival.

Bonus points for
-Drugs
-Violence (all kinds of beating)
-blatant display of racism
-blatant display of responding to racism
-the most awesome cursing in history
-The UK in the 70's, the only worse place in the world at the time was probably somewhere around Congo, or maybe Central Eastern Asia, or Chile or....well, you see what I mean, it kinda sucked balls.
-oh, and gang rape (if you find me a recent non-pornographic movie where 2 teenage boys gang-rape another one...i'll send you a medal)

It's the kind of movie that was once made, and would never see the light today under the current PC climate.
according to imdb, they tried to ban it. I am not surprised. I am glad they didn't though.

I have to give it a personal 8.5, only for the language.
I was amazed from beginning to end.
