Review of S.C.U.M. (2010)

By Helen E (201) on 23 Feb 2012

A very grim, bleak British film about the borstal system. Still quite violent and disturbing even though it was made over 30 years ago…

Review of S.C.U.M. (2010)

By Jack H (826) on 19 Feb 2012

Despite being released over 30 years ago, I was pleasantly surprised to find that Scum has lost none of its punch…

Review of S.C.U.M. (2010)

By Vincent O (141) on 19 Jan 2012

Stark, brutal and at times downright depressing. Alan Clarke's first of only three films was his most powerful work…

Review of S.C.U.M. (2010)

By Sarah T (490) on 05 Jan 2012

Harrowing, cold-hearted and engrossing are just a few words to describe the 1979 film Scum, directed by Alan Clarke and written by Roy Minton…

Review of S.C.U.M. (2010)

By Aileen M (20) on 31 Dec 2011

Watching â~Scumâ(TM) for the first time aged 24 in 2011, I cannot help but compare this portrayal of the apparent brutality of the youth…

Review of S.C.U.M. (2010)

By Amanda R (467) on 27 Dec 2011

Scum was produced in 1979 and shocked audiences with its damming portrayal of life 'behind bars' for juvenile offenders incarcerated in establishments…

Review of S.C.U.M. (2010)

By Jess W (69) on 27 Dec 2011

In 1902, juvenile offender borstals were introduced with an aim to reform young offenders through the use of military discipline, training…

Review of S.C.U.M. (2010)

By Carlton R (180) on 17 Dec 2011

A real classic, this brought the great Ray Winston to the acting world, he shone in this role about the ups and down of life in institutional…

Review of S.C.U.M. (2010)

By Lee H (754) on 12 Jul 2011

Violent and uncompromising (especially at the time - 1979) movie that still packs a punch over 30 years later…

Review of S.C.U.M. (2010)

By Lady D (826) on 13 May 2011

A film I've always meant to waatch, but only just got around to seeing it…

Review of S.C.U.M. (2010)

By Kari K (157) on 28 Apr 2011

Excellent film about a young Ray Winston serving time in a British borstal. A US remake was made into Bad Boys in 1983 starring Sean Penn…

Review of S.C.U.M. (2010)

By Jimmy M (566) on 15 Apr 2011

Winstone is bad ass as usual as the big daddy at a youth correctional facility but the film is sheer melodrama, lacking any real substance…

Review of S.C.U.M. (2010)

By Stu C (99) on 08 Apr 2011

An okay film if you're looking to kill some time but not one I would specifically recommend…

Review of S.C.U.M. (2010)

By Gary C (555) on 31 Jan 2011

Great if you like films where nothing much happens…

Review of S.C.U.M. (2010)

By Tico P (65) on 07 Dec 2010

Scum is another one that got banned in 1979 turning it also into a Video Nasty cult classic…

Review of S.C.U.M. (2010)

By Tania H (144) on 29 Nov 2010

Powerful & violent movie that is tough to watch at times, but well worth the effort…

Review of S.C.U.M. (2010)

By Alice V (65) on 02 Nov 2010

Raw, realistic and brutal. Ray Winstone ain't no puff. He's the daddy here…

Review of S.C.U.M. (2010)

By Kyle S (1,377) on 16 Sep 2010

Scum Is Brilliant Probably The Best British Film I've Seen In Ages, This Was So Controversal When It Was First Made For BBC TV In 1977 It Was…

Review of S.C.U.M. (2010)

By Marcel S (59) on 09 Sep 2010

A powerful, stark and unflinching film about the mistreatment of juvenile delinquents. There are in fact two versions of this movie…

Review of S.C.U.M. (2010)

By Aidan H (393) on 08 Sep 2010

While not as shocking as when it was released, Scum still packs a wallop, mostly due to young Ray Winstone's electric turn as hooligan-in-charge…
