Boarding School of Girls

About This Movie

Boarding School of Girls (1981) is a curious piece in the realm of early ‘80s drama, weaving a tale that’s part coming-of-age, part gritty reality. The narrative follows Christine as she encounters a series of unsettling and bizarre events, establishing a tone that's both uncomfortable and thought-provoking. There’s a rawness to the performances, especially in how they tackle the more troubling themes presented. The pacing can feel uneven, reflecting the chaos of her experiences. Plus, the practical effects and atmosphere lend a distinct grittiness to the film—it's not polished, but that’s what gives it a certain edge. It's a film that lingers in the mind, etched with its provocative moments and underlying commentary.

Boarding School of Girls has a niche position among collectors due to its controversial subject matter and the obscurity surrounding its director. The film has seen limited format releases, making original copies somewhat scarce, especially in good condition. Interest remains primarily among those drawn to exploitation cinema and those curious about the more underground offerings of the era.
