Cast: Ray Winstone, Mick Ford, Julian Firth, John Blundell, Phil Daniels, John Judd ....
Genre: Drama / Crime
Year of Production: 1979
Country: UK
Plot: This is the hard and shocking story of life in a British Borstal for young offenders. Luckily the regime has changed since this film was made. The brutal regime made no attempt to reform or improve the inmates and actively encouraged a power struggle between the 'tough' new inmate and the 'old hands'. The film was originally made as a BBC play but it was banned before ever being shown. So 'Alan Clarke' and 'Roy Minton' got it re-made as a film. This is a tough and brutal film and should not be viewed lightly.

I'd had the opportunity to watch Scum a long time before I actually did, and I
was always turned off it by the very sensationalist box and taglines. I've
never been a fan of "The film they tried to ban" and similar phrases being
used as advertisement for a film, so when I sat down to watch the film today
I was very surprised.
It doesn't need phrases like that to advertise it - it's bleak and horrific,
and should be advertised as a serious drama rather than some kind of exciting
gore-fest. As well as being powerful and thought provoking, it's gripping
too, and you won't feel bored when watching it. Although there is a lot of
stuff crammed in there, and some scenes are very prolonged, at just over and
hour and a half it's the perfect length to achieve what it sets out to do.
This is one film you won't be bored watching.
I'm actually surprised that this film doesn't have more of a recognition or
following nowadays, and isn't seen in the last light as Kubrick's "A
Clockwork Orange" and Lindsay Anderson's "If...".
