So many horror films are horror films, just for the sake of being a movie filled with scares, gore and death. The Lesson is so much more than that, it's a horror movie with meaning. It's also a film with spectacular performances, especially Robert Hand as Mr Gale, but the entire cast is so good they don't appear to be acting. Ruth Platt has written , directed and crafted a film that the average horror fan is just not going to get. I've seen this a few times, the first time, several years ago and for me, only the best films stay in my head. I love this movie for the script and the acting, and yes, for just how grueling it is at times. Ms Platt is to be congratulated for taking the horror genre up a notch.
