What do we do with trouble teens? In movies we have seen a few answers, like Battle Royale where we stick them on an island and force them to kill each other. Another way is looked at in Raven’s Cabin, an Australian film where bad behaviour gets a group of teens stuck in a camp to be taught how to behave, and of course there is a dark secret just waiting to be discovered.
Bound, gagged and blindfolded a group of teenagers and grabbed off the street and taken into the Australian bush (out in the woods) to a behaviour modification facility to teach them the error of their ways. Isolated from the outside world they are...
