“Teacher’s Pet” (*1/2 out of four) was a trifling suspense psychodrama about a precocious high-school student (Michelle Torian) about to start college at Yale who is suddenly re-assigned to a slimy new teacher (Kevin Makely) who takes a dangerous interest in her and attempts to turn her life upside down while the principal (Richard Handley) and the cops (Sheldon Brigman and Drew Powell) investigate. Thoroughly routine and by-the-numbers programmer feels like it was made off an assembly line. Filmmakers themselves need to go back to school and “teach” themselves some new ideas.
