ridiculous thriller, May 16 2004
This review is from: Cutting Class (VHS Tape)
a cheesy slasher film with a lot of bad acting. Though I only gave it 1 in a half because of Brad Pitt, Roddy McDowell and Martin Mull's premise. Otherwise it's just a pile. Pitt in one of his first starring roles. It's too obvious who the real killer is, ths story thins after a while. Roddy McDowell as the principal with problems is very funny. Martin Mull talking to the dog to get help was funny also. But this doesnt make sense and it tries to but a bunch of otherthings fall in its lap and crumble it. In one scene Pitt is rehearsing Hamlet's To Be Or Not To Be speech, I had to do that same thing for Advanced Theatre, just that speech

This is not a good horror film. It's very very very boring. This movie is dry. I will not recommend this film to any one.

A slice of life, Feb 19 2004
This review is from: Cutting Class (VHS Tape)
This movie has all the elements needed for a good "B" slasher movie spoof. I was surprised to see all the talent in this. I will not mention everyone as the surprise is worth experiencing. I will mention the Principal, Roddy McDowall, who as you remember was his own intriguing teen movie "Lord Love a Duck" (1966).
The basic "who is doing this and why?" story starts out with a Father going hunting and leaving his (you guessed it) inappropriately clad daughter home to study. Now we add to the mix several suspects. The boyfriend (Brad Pitt) that seems a tad dysfunctional. Their old friend (Donovan Leitch) fresh from the psycho ward. And a whole cast of uniquely weird suspects that all had motive and opportunity.
A pretty good array of dispatching tools are used, as people are being removed right and left. They left out the railroad tracks and the saw mill (close though) and the kitchen sink.
I f you enjoy this sort of movie then you need to see one that does rings around this one with a similar scheme "Student Bodies" (1981),where they use Horse Head Book ends.
