Scum
This is the hard and shocking story of life in a British borstal for young offenders. Luckily the regime has changed since this TV film was made. The brutal regime made no attempt to reform or improve the inmates and actively encouraged a power struggle between the ‘tough’ new inmate and the ‘old hands’. Banned by the BBC for 14 years, this original television version of ‘Scum’ was finally aired in July 1991. Meanwhile, the director and writer had re-made the film [see Scum (1979)] for theatrical release after it was originally banned for TV broadcast.
VexMovies Review:
Amazing movie from 1991. I don’t watch many movie online in tv movie genre, but this one was cool. I was so impressed of Scum that I ended up watching it eleven times in cinema and few times watch online.
The soundtrack of these movie is simple, decieving, full of mischief in its own right. I did not know anything about this movie before, I did not even see a trailer, but I enjoyed it very much in the first place. It’s taken me multiple rewatches and a lot of hours on the wiki to understand everything.
I’m not a true fan of drama, but I’m like that too! I uploaded this movie to VexMovies, so everyone now can see it online for free.
