Viewing Notes
Wow this is an interesting slice of late 80s teen horror slasher high school thriller. It borrows from so many films of the previous 9 years to craft something truly bizarre. Can’t really discuss why without spoiling but some very odd choices here.
Fun to see baby faces Brad Pitt at 25yrs portraying a HS student opposite the truly adorable Jill Schoelen also 25 at the time of filming. How she didn’t have a bigger career is beyond me.
