: Teaching Mrs. Tingle
Author: Kevin Williamson
Director: Kevin Williamson
From the creator of Scream and the TV show Dawson’s Creek comes this black comedy, which isn’t very dark or very funny. However, I still liked it, mostly because of the psychological manipulations of the evil Mrs. Tingle. She was a potentially fascinating character. Unfortunately, the contrived ending strips her of all realism, leaving us with another mindless movie villain. I don’t know much about the background of this film, but I suspect studio manipulation toned down what was once a much darker script (the original title was Killing Mrs. Tingle). It’s a shame, because it’s an interesting concept with a lot of potential.
