The Student (I) (2017)
4/10
unlikeable professor

Warning: Spoilers
The movie wasn't bad but it wasn't enjoyable mostly because of Abigail the seems set from the beginning to dislike Vance. The professor Abigail that wants to fail an A grade student because he didn't cite some past case in his final assessment that she had some reason researched his previous assignments to know that he should have known and mentioned said case. The most hypocritical thing is Abigail's past that caused a wrongly convicted man to commit suicide yet she is qualified to run the ethics class now and be extremely strict. Vance cleverly broke into her house leaving really no evident that it was him yet she blames Vance immediately (yeah i know he did it, but you can't just accuse people with no evidence) She just has it in for the kid.

Look turns out Vance killed his other professed for giving him a B- but Abigail was so unlikeable that I was rooting for Vance. Abigail once again responsible for 2 deaths walks away free so where is the justice?

Vance was a smart man but the pressure to keep a scholarship, the trauma from his past and his toxic home environment. You actually have empathy for him. It's would have been a way more enjoyable movie if they made Abigail a better person and made her likeable.
