"Apt Pupil" is not the best of its kind but it's far from the worst. It's not a horror movie, to begin with, it's a drama. I was expecting it to be slightly more disturbing than it was. The only part that struck me as particularly unsettling was the first dream sequence Todd (Brad Renfro) has. Besides those few moments, the rest of the film was comfortably bearable for me. It was also much better, in my opinion, than Stephen King's original story. If you're looking for a dark, interestingly morbid movie, this one MAY suit your tastes.
