Production
[edit]The film's script was completed in September 2012 and filming took place in December of the same year. The entire film was shot in less than 48 hours spread out over three days. The budget of the film was $5,000 with costs kept down thanks to being filmed mostly in the school. It took over a year to edit the film with a final print ready in early 2014.[2]

Reception
[edit]Reviews tended to be negative with a consensus view that the film borrows heavily from other sources and gives away its ending in the opening scenes. Infernal Cinema stated Classroom 6 has an ending that is slightly reminiscent of REC, but it is a shame they didn’t borrow more elements from this classic earlier.[3] Horror Cult Films gave the movie 1 star out of 5 and stated "the film is basically a checklist of what to expect from supernatural low budget type movies".[4] Dread Central also gave it 1 star out of 5.[5] Found Footage Critic does give a positive review saying Classroom 6 is an entertaining, interesting, and sometimes scary found footage film that builds on techniques used in the classics, while staying fresh and defining its own unique look and feel.[6]
