Featured review
Cheesy High-School Thriller.
Mr. Griffin is an English teacher at a high school. None of the students like him as he always seems mean and horrible, so to teach him a lesson some of the students from his English class, plan to kidnap him for a little while. When they end up leaving him for a couple of hours though, Mr. Griffin dies and now they have the police on there trail, to find out what really happened to him.
The cast in the movie includes, Amy Jo Johnson, Mario López and Michelle Williams (Who looks a little strange here.) and they give okay performances.
Killing Mr. Griffin is a lot like the Kevin Williamson movie Teaching Mrs. Tingle, which I actually liked more. (More exciting.) Killing Mr. Griffin came out first though and is based on the novel by Lois Duncan (I know what you did last summer films, etc.) and it's not to bad. It's not a proper thriller really, it's more like a cheesy thriller with not much suspense. If you like teen thrillers then you may just enjoy this. It sure isn't brilliant, but I guess it's quite good.
