True art can only be achieved through suffering and pain in chilling British horror End Of Term, directed by Mat Menony and starring British acting greats Julie Graham (The Sarah Jane Adventures, Shetland), Peter Davison (Doctor Who, Good Omens) and David Bamber (Valkyrie, The Bourne Identity). The film is out now on Digital courtesy of Reel2Reel Films, in time for some half term Halloween horror.
History repeats itself at the Ford Barrington Art School and a group of students find themselves being relentlessly tormented by the lingering spirit of Garth Stroman, an artist who had a disturbing vision 50 years earlier. As graduation day draws near, the students embark on a journey of artistic exploration that grows increasingly extreme and their celebrations descend into a nightmarish world of medieval torture – all in the name of art.

Told in flashback, End of Term opens with a young student, Melissa (Chelsea Edge), being interviewed by DS Stacy Harcourt (Julie Graham) and Di Jim Burman (David Bamber) who are investigating the death of a teacher Damian Self at the Ford Barrington School of Art. Only this school has a history and that history is coming back to haunt this year’s graduating class. Literally.
You see some 50 years earlier artist Garth Stroman, had a disturbing vision for his art – a vision which hangs over the current crop of students, in particular Melissa’s sister who is infatuated with Stroman’s obsession with Bdsm in his art. In fact, Stroman torments the school and in this case, the graduating class who are embarking on a journey of artistic exploration…...

Weird goings-on in a basement lead to Cluedo-ish suspects and piecemeal flashbacks, but here it is the audience that suffers in the name of art
‘So, you call yourself conceptualists, do you?” says the straight-arrow detective quizzing Melissa (Chelsea Edge), a cool-customer art student with three long lacerations on her face. “Mostly. Ashley wasn’t,” Melissa replies. “Unless anti-conceptualism is a concept. She was always about being in the moment. Expressionism. Impressionism.” End of Term has a fondness for bandying around the art-theory big talk, but this silly but stolidly genre project could sorely use a conceptual cutting edge itself.
Melissa is getting questioned after being found strapped to a chair in the blood-splattered basement of Ford Barrington art school. Strangely, there are no bodies – except for that of snooty art critic Damian Self (Ronald Pickup) in the nearby space for the students’ end-of-term exhibition. In Usual Suspects-style piecemeal flashbacks,...
