I found this nifty graphic a while ago while browsing the web. It caught my attention immediately: as I was a bit of a high school nerd myself, I was always quick to like the high school nerds in movies.

The Quiet Ones director John Pogue took a risk – inviting the viewer to follow along with Professor Joseph Coupland’s (Jared Harris) “experiment” to prove that the supernatural is simply a manifestation created in the minds of the mentally disturbed.
