This is clearly one of the worst movies of the 90s. The script is simply terrible and the same can be said of the dialog, the acting, the music and just about everything else - except Lara Harris's face and breasts. At first I thought it was Laura Harris, the chesty beauty from "The Faculty", but I was surprised to find out that there were two of them. Alice Krige also shows her breasts; they're okay, but kind of small.

Why do I dwell on breasts? All in all, their four breasts are the only things worth seeing in this unbelievably bad movie. The premise is okay, it's the execution that sucks. The entire film, from A-Z, from top to bottom, is a 100% amateur venture. For a while the movie refuses to confirm its horror status and delves endlessly in ultra-moronic teen-movie waters; the school's coach is obsessed with boxing, likes to beat up the students he (unexplainedly) dislikes, and here's a first: a movie father who prefers the daughter's boyfriend to the daughter herself! I've never seen anything dumber in any teen movie.

Harris's evil boyfriend sees that Getty is eying Harris, so what does he do? His first impulse is to fight her but he hands her over instead! And then Harris starts French-kissing Getty whom she barely knows! The entire movie is like this. One absurd scene follows another. There is no point in making a list of the silly moments because there would simply be no end to it, and I don't want to be stuck writing about this movie well into the next year.
