Backbencher

I watched the movie Picnic at Hanging Rock. The cover of the DVD made it look very old fashion and I read the summary on the back of the case and it talked about it being suspenseful. I asked Jen if it was scary because I hate scary movies, but she said I’d be fine ;) The movie was about a finishing school for girls, which is located in Australia who go on a field trip to a local landmark- Hanging rock. This adventure of running into poisonous snakes and ants takes place on Valentine’s Day in 1900. When they get there four of the girls begin to search the rock and without explanation they disappear. A teacher goes to search for them and they too unexpectedly disappear. Many search parties are assigned but the girls and the teacher are never found. The mystery begins here as to why the girls disappeared. The focus is more on the reaction to the disappearance. The headmaster’s reputation is jeopardize as many students are withdrawn by their parents. The girls seem affected by the magnetic force of the rock and wonder if that is the reason why they disappear. The movie was a kind that I don’t watch on a regular basis. I really enjoyed this film over all..I liked the suspense. I didn’t like how the ending was left for the viewer for solve I really wanted to know what happened!! This movie is based on a book and I someday I would really like to read it.
