In The Hive

About this movie

Sixteen-year-old Xtra Keys lives by a few simple rules, all rooted in a world of brazen, retaliatory violence. Xtra hopes to raise his son better than his boozy, razor-edged mother raised him and his younger siblings and just might get his wish when he's thrust into the world of the HIVE, an unorthodox alternative school full of other discarded boys. Based on an actual school in North Carolina's Bertie County, IN THE HIVE is a movie about the power of love and a gripping reminder that we can all make a difference in a child's life, even the ones who've been relegated to the discarded heap for far too long.

Ratings and reviews

Unfortunately, I didn't rent or buy the movie from here but I have seen it before. Therefore, I can say that this movie was pretty good; I liked it. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because I hate how it ended. When you watch it, you'll understand why. However, I kind of get where the director was going with the ending, but I just can't stand when a story ends like that. I've got too much on mind to sit and wonder, "WTH just happened?" Lol

This movie was very good and should have been either a TV show or a big budget release. I understand that they filmed this movie in 18 days but man that ending let me down. I want to know more than what they gave me. Very sad that we will probably never find out what happens to all of the characters

This movie is delightful and I highly recommend it. Gives hope to the hopeless.
