When brilliant but isolated high school senior Clara's English teacher dies mysteriously, a charismatic replacement arrives who takes a disturbing interest in her academic potential. As Mr. Heller's mentorship turns to dangerous obsession, Clara uncovers his horrifying secret identity and murderous past. Now trapped in a psychological game with a predator who's eliminated anyone standing in his way, Clara must use her understanding of Heller's twisted psychology against him before she becomes his next victim. Some lessons are worth dying for -- others are worth killing for.

Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue 2h
Between the shallow characters and the absurd twists, this low-budget suburban thriller never feels grounded in real-world fears and anxieties enough to generate consistent suspense. Go to Full Review Bee Delores B-Sides & Badlands 9h
4/5
The characters might be conjured up from Kroll’s mind, but the story remains a chilling reminder that the real monsters are always human beings. Go to Full Review Frank Swietek One Guy's Opinion 1d

Like a Lifetime movie on steroids, [it] takes the old standby plot of an educator obsessing over a student but ratchets it up several notches. Go to Full Review Samantha McLaren MovieJawn 2d
Teacher’s Pet is a true indie, and a solid one at that. Go to Full Review Mike McGranaghan Aisle Seat 4d
3/4
A chilling film that makes a battle of the brains just as exciting as a battle of the brawn. Go to Full Review Nathaniel Muir AIPT 4d
The pacing ensures Teacher’s Pet is consistently exciting. Once the plot kicks in, things never slow down. Clara is constantly having to deal with Mr. Heller. She is just a high school student trying to outwit an adult, after all. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Oscar V @oscarvf 1d It's a great thriller with strong main characters and interesting supporting ones. Grateful that the protagonist is so complex. The film has a great pace, and the photography is excellent. It's definitely an example of how to create something that looks great on a tight budget. I'd recommend watching it with a good sound system. See more Read all reviews
