(You can find my review for Pick-Up here.) ![]() For this review, let’s take a look at The Teacher. But for anyone who remembers those great times at your local backwoods drive-in (thank you, creepy older brothers, for spiriting me along), Welcome to the Grindhouse Double Feature: Pick-Up and The Teacher should be a potent dose of old timey exploitation.
