Is it a remake or isn't it? Alan Clarke's 1979 juvie crime drama Scum - starring a young Ray Winstone - certainly appears to be a major influence on Dog Pound, the latest from Sheitan director Kim Chapiron. But if this is meant to be an outright remake nobody is coming right out and saying so, with the closest anybody is coming to saying so being international sales outfit The Wild Bunch saying the film merges "the violent intensity of THE LORD OF THE FLIES and SCUM [with] the emotional power of ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST."
But, regardless, the first trailer for the film - Chapiron's English language debut - has arrived and can be seen below.
