SYNOPSIS:
A "poor little rich girl" rebel objects to her father making her stay at this super-advanced preppy high school and hates all the rules and especially despises the principal (played by poor Lance Henriksen). So she goes on the (early) Dark Web and downloads a sapient killer computer virus to infect the state-of-the-art school's systems. The deaths begin almost at once. But this virus wants more than just mayhem and murder. It wants...HER.
Lance Henriksen's humiliation, which includes flying around in a stupid wired harness and spitting up white pudding when he dies (callback to, well, almost every role he's had since Bishop) is made all the more complete by the fact that they spelled his name wrong in the credits.

It's Perfectly Safe--ZZZAAP!!! They've finally escaped (so it seems) by shorting out the final barrier--an electric fence. But the Mangler isn't after the Chef (apparently). So of course Corey gets a little happy and declares "It's perfectly safe!" and jumps up and down on it. ZAP! Dead.
