Notebook Reviews: APT PUPIL

Bryan Singer – 1998

Director Bryan Singer delivers a truly weird  psychological thriller with this adaptation of the Stephen King short story, Apt Pupil. 

In a way it’s a miracle Apt Pupil even got made – this Nazi-themed thriller is quite a disturbing little film which features strong performances from Ian McKellen, Brad Renfro and even David Schwimmer. 

You can understand why Apt Pupil under-performed at the box office, but this is a film that deserves to be seen.
