Entrance exams are coming up in about six months. You are one of the top 20 students in your school, grade-wise. You've been chosen to be put in a special class made to be a cram coarse. Grades have always been very important to every student at your school, so it is important to do well on these entrance exams.

As you are taking your test on English by watching a video in English, the video cuts off. Next thing you hear is screaming coming from the tv. As soon the picture clears up, you see one of your fellow classmates in a small, glass box. She is trapped in there and struggling to get out. On the box, a math equation is written on it.

You then hear a man's very deep voice come on the tv telling the class to answer the question right, or the girl will die. After the man finishes talking, water begins pouring into the box. Will you and your fellow classmates, as well as the teachers, be able to answer the question correctly in order to save your fellow classmate?
-----------------------------------------------------

Yep, so that's the basic concept of this movie. There is a killer inside the school. You are given questions to answer (all very hard questions). You must answer them right and quickly, otherwise a fellow classmate will die. You must answer every question to get to the final answer of it all.

I was sent an e-mail by YesAsia. I usually don't check e-mails from them, but since I was in class with nothing to do, I decided to read it and see what they had. This one caught my interest. This movie was just released a few months ago. Since I had time, I decided to check it out.

The film wasn't too bad. A few of the deaths were pretty interesting, but some weren't that amazing. The movie has been called a cross between Battle Royale and Saw. Honestly, when I first read about it, I kind of thought this movie sounded like it could have some similarities with Battle Royale. It definitely has a similar element to Saw. Either way, the film was entertaining at times.

One of the more interesting death was (highlight because of SPOILERS)
The guy was chained down with burning candles sitting on a caged fence above his face, so the candle wax would be dripping all over his face. (END SPOILER HERE).

All in all, I was entertained with the movie. Some dumb parts, of coarse, but it wasn't too bad of a movie, and it kept my interest throughout.

I'd give it a 7/10. Worth a check since it's streamed online in a few places.

Okay movie, but as I said in my own review, it seemed to cross too many sub-genres together, going from a supernatural flick, torture flick, to a slasher, which in my opinion hurt it overall.
