Viewing Notes

Strange Behaviour (along with Stepford Wives) has to be where the 98’ Disturbing Behaviour got it’s plot from. I actually like DB quite a bit and SB is even better in that early 80s slasher sort of way.

What I liked about it was the hot professor who cons the kids into going under her control. Plus you get some badass effects like the needle in the eye part and some decent kills.

It’s one of the great 80s slasher films that needs to be seen and has more going on than expected. Also, you gotta see the party dance scene where everyone starts doing the same dance, classic 80s style. Total win!
