Lesson of the Evil (Japan, 2012)

A teacher named Seiji Hasumi is loved by his students and respected by his peers. However, his outward charm masks his true nature. In reality, Hasumi is a psychopath who is unable to feel empathy for other human beings. Specifically, he has a severe antisocial personality disorder. Because of his mental condition, Hasumi chooses to deal with problems like bullying and overbearing "monster parents" the easy way, by systematically murdering his students.

My God,  I haven't seen this many students get killed since Battle Royale (2000). The man responsible for this bloodbath is none other than Takashi Miike (Ichi the Killer), and he really goes nuts with this one. In the second half of the film the character development pretty much goes out the window and is replaced by a killing spree, but it's such a insane sequence that you'll likely to enjoy it (in a sick way, to be honest) to the fullest. 

Genre: Thriller
