The Teacher - Digitally Remastered (DVD)

The Teacher -- Digitally Remastered After school, her lessons began with sex and ended in violence. In this coming-of-age suspense film, 18-year-old Sean Roberts (Jay North) has just graduated from high school when he begins a torrid summer fling with his much older teacher Diane Marshall (Angel Tompkins). However, an obsessive and vengeful stalker lurks in the shadows of their romantic relationship. Though the film is considered a cult-favorite exploitation flick, critics praised the film's sympathetic and sensitive depiction of the two lead characters and their relationship. "It develops a relationship between a 28-year-old woman and an 18-year-old high school boy with sensitivity and credibility unusual for an exploitation film. Avedis displays much concern for his people and allows Miss Tompkins and North plenty of room to give fresh, spontaneous performances." -- Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times.
