Thanks in advance for your generosity.

NB: Please note that this movie contains strong themes of violence, suicide and racial bigotry's and those sensitive to such issues should take that into account that before viewing this reaction.

In this Video, I react to the Movie ‘SCUM’ (1979)’ which is an uncompromising story of life in a British juvenile offender institution in the '70s. Originally banned for its brutal depiction of life inside the young offenders institution, it is now considered a cult classic and a gritty realistic drama of what life was really like in these institutions at that time

SCUM scores an impressive 7.6/10 on IMDB and 89% on Rotten Tomatoes. I would personally score this movie as a 9/10.

SCUM was written by Roy Minton

SCUM was directed by Alan Clarke.

Scum stars, amongst others, Ray Winstone, Mick Ford, Julian Firth, Phil Daniels, John Blundell and Ray Burdis.
