Scum has to be one of the most graphic , violent movies i have ever seen. I dont know if this film was banned back in the seventies but wouldn't be suprised if it was( not that i agree with censorship). Ray Winston stars as a juvenile who is sent to this Borstal institution for beating up a warden in his last residence. If any kid ever had any doubts about how hard Borstal is they should watch this! I'm not sure how accurate the film is as regards the way the wardens treat the inmates but if it is true to life no wonder these kids turned out like they did! There are some very near the knuckle scenes in this movie which include , suicide, violence racism and male rape but i suppose these things do go on but maybe not all in one day as it seems in these film. 7 out of 10
