Synopsis
How worried should you be if you show up at a creepy boarding school and you are one of only 5 students? Oh, and an unnerving Uma Thurman is the headmistress? Turns out, pretty worried. In this supernatural horror film based on the novel of the same name by Lois Duncan, troubled and seemingly quite angry Kit Gordy (AnnaSophia Robb) is sent to the mysterious Blackwood Boarding School after she becomes too much for her mother to handle. She and the four other delinquent girls there soon find themselves wondering what’s lurking in the labyrinth of corridors. Soon they discover that their unsettling headmistress Madame Duret (Uma Thurman) may be hiding an age-old secret rooted in the paranormal. Directed by Rodrigo Cortés and adapted by Michael Goldback and Chris Sparling. Also starring Isabelle Fuhrman, Kirsty Mitchell, Taylor Russell, Jim Sturgeon and Victoria Moroles.

Down a Dark Hall eventually goes Down a Convoluted Tunnel, with some admittedly creepy but also just plain crazy sequences that play like “Eyes Wide Shut” meets “The Shining.”
Thurman, oily accent dripping with menace, is no Disney villain here. She’s real world dangerous, vulpine, callous, keeping supernatural secret threats from her pupils.
