End of Term is a 2018 British horror feature film about torture in art directed by Mark Murphy (Awaiting; The Crypt) from a screenplay by John Paul Chapple (Bathory: Countess of Blood – additional script material). The movie stars Ronald Pickup, Ben Lamb, Nicola Posener and Peter Davison.
History is repeating itself at the Ford Barrington Art School. A group of students are tormented by the lingering menace of Garth Stroman (Ivan Kaye), an artist who had a disturbing vision fifty years prior.
The pupils discover that true art can only be achieved through suffering and pain. With graduation fast approaching their celebrations turn into a twisted confrontation with medieval torture – all in the name of art…
