There Will Be Blood In The Hallways and Cafeteria

Just watched this again thanks to the IFC Channel.

This is/was one of those DVDs I bought just off the strength of alread-read reviews, and basic knowledge of the film's subject matter, which fascinate(s)(d) me. Watched it a week or so after the purchase, and immediately restarted it and viewed again. One of the quietest, bare-bones movies I've ever seen, but also one of the most hypnotically haunting and can't-shake-off to boot.

The last ten minutes alone are the stuff of everyday-life nightmares. Eeenie, meeny, miney, mo....

The anatomy of a school shooting, as seen/shot through the eyes of Gus Van Sant.

A must-see if you've yet to do so.
