BACK TO SCHOOL CHILLS — Unman, Wittering and Zigo (1971) w/ Insane Safety PSA film Apaches (1977)
APACHES (1977)
Perhaps the most notorious government-commissioned PSA film of all time, APACHES depicts a series of violent, horrifying deaths to teach unsuspecting rural kids about the dangers of playing near farm equipment. Tractors, slurry wells, farm chemicals — these become the implements of tragic death in this shocking, nearly surreal, short directed by John Mackenzie (The Long Good Friday), in which pastoral England becomes a vision of unremitting horror.

UNMAN, WITTERING AND ZIGO (1971)
When idealistic new teacher John Ebony (David Hemmings) arrives at the hidebound Chantrey School for Boys to replace a suddenly deceased schoolmaster, he gets more than he bargained for with a class of defiant, entitled brats whom he begins to suspect may have murdered his predecessor. Are these merely obnoxious urchins, or could they in fact be cold-blooded killers? And where the heck is the perpetually absent Zigo? , to be unruly and defiant. Directed with a blunt, hard edge by John Mackenzie, this film adaptation of Giles Cooper’s classic play presents a scathing exposé of the kind of environment from which brutish empires are born.
1 hour, 42 minutes
