Review of Lord of the Flies (1963) by Jonathan S — 20 Jul 2007

A story of survivors of a plane crash of a Boy's School Choir left alone on a deserted Island, with no surviving adults, and there degeneration into savages and murders, breaking into warring factions, with those trying to keep civilized being overwhelmed by evil, a movie to leave you stunned and thoughtful.

Filmed in a spare style making you feel as a witness to this degeneration, with a cast of kids that were picked out of a call-up, a savage and unflinching look at society in whole when also put in severely traumatic situations, a masterpiece.
