Infamously brutal, utterly uncompromising; Scum still hits like a sock full of snooker balls. This is life in a young offenders institution – the inmates are savage, the officers are worse. A swaggering young Ray Winston plays Carlin, the king of the wing; with no rehabilitation on offer, he may as well keep fighting to stay on top.
Written by Roy Minton and directed by the legendary Alan Clarke (Elephant; The Firm), Scum is a stark study of institutional power and state-sanctioned violence that refuses to pull its punches. 88 Films are proud to present this merciless masterpiece of British film, restored in 4K and completely uncut.

I previously watched this film using a poor VHS copy. This 4K package sparkles with clear images, vibrant colour and outstanding sound. There is no distortion during the faster complex scenes. So good is the 4K copy you feel the tension and taste the fear. The film deals with corrupt management who allow bulling by a supported dominant inmate to control behaviour. A good study in abuse of power.
The best this brutal British classic has ever looked. Outstanding.
