No sooner has 15-year-old Lee Keegan been expelled from his private school than an apocalyptic event wipes out most of the world's population. With his father dead and mother trapped abroad, Lee is given one instruction: go back to school. But safety and security at St. Mark's School for Boys is in short supply. Its high walls can't stop the local parish council from forming a militia and imposing martial law, while inside the dorms the end of the world is having a dangerous effect on his best friend and his unrequited crush on the school nurse isn't helping him concentrate on staying alive.

Kevin Maher The Times (UK) Feb 20, 2021
2/5
Milburn directs with some style, but his action scenes are muddy and the "poshos versus students" climax is at times unintelligible. Go to Full Review

4/5
If The Lord of the Flies crossed with The Road and a dash of Tom Brown's School Days sounds like your bag of blood, than this ruthless romp will be a kick in the head. Go to Full Review
Carla Hay Culture Mix Jun 26, 2021
There's a good concept that was waiting to be creatively expressed in School's Out Forever, but that concept ended up just like the classes in St. Mark's School for Boys after the apocalypse -- abandoned and permanently dismissed. Go to Full Review

Mixing action and drama, this British thriller holds the attention by initially defying expectations, then taking surprising turns later on. Go to Full Review

Nothing comes together quite as well as it should. The acting is tremendous but the conflicting tones make can be off putting. Go to Full Review
Kat Halstead Common Sense Media Jun 21, 2021
3/5
Overall it's an enjoyable, if bleak, rampage of horror tropes that works well despite the final battle feeling a little lengthy and repetitive. Go to Full Review
