For no good reason, the school's popular hunky guy and the gang of popular girls decide to make the life of the school's nerdy virgin girl a living hell. She just minds her own business reading books. Can't have that. Her mother is barely meeting ends meet but is also one of those only-in-the-movies parent who treats her daughter as if she's a slut for no reason whatsoever and wants to keep her sheltered.The guy invites the girl to a party at his place. She goes, he forces himself onto her. Then the gang of girls grab her, duct-tape her to a tree, drawing "slut" on her face, the usual stuff. At school, they ridicule her non-stop. She seeks help from a counselor who doesn't take her seriously. Eventually she has no choice but take action and take revenge.That's all there is to this movie. It's a low budget movie, it has a good occasionally smart script but there just isn't much to see. Angelique Hennessy does a great job and the movie improves several notches once we get into revenge mode. Unfortunately, the low budget, and the poor visuals didn't help the movie one bit.
... View MoreWhere did I go wrong, please let me know. I have seen some reviews that were very good about this movie so I ordered it straight away, but was I disappointed after watching it. It could have been a rape/revenge flick but it failed. Failed in all ways. When the gangrape takes place nothing happens, you just see the boys there faces, that's all, in this time were movies are explicit it is a major mistake to show nothing, nothing at all, no flesh, no underwear. When she's out for revenge she kills those who raped her, again, all off screen and with no blood. When the knife cuts someone's throat, well, no blood is shown, when she pulls the knife out, clean, no blood on the knife. When she hits someone with a book, blood flows around to hit the wall, man, I didn't know that a book was more lethal then a knife! The only good thing is that there isn't a good ending. Again, childish movie, never scary, never entertaining. the best part is the DVD cover...
... View MoreDo not waste your time. Anyone who gave this film more than one star was a friend of, or paid by, the makers of the film. The girls were cute but that was the only thing this film had going for it. The dialog was horrible, the acting sucked and the casting was laughable. The "Cop" and "Guidance counselor" were the same age as the rest of the "High School" cast and could have easily played those roles. This movie doesn't even have the elements that make a good "B" movie. No nudity, no gore and no suspense. I had to watch all of this movie in order to write a fair review so that you don't have to. Do not watch this film, but if you do, don't say you weren't warned.
... View MoreFirst-time writer/director Jim Hemphill has captured the spirit of Roger Corman's New World Pictures in this very entertaining revenge picture. Anyone who remembers Stephanie Rothman's fine work for the studio should run to check this out. Shot on a shoestring budget, the film looks and feels like a classy 'B' picture. The cast of unfamiliar faces does a great job with this tale of a virgin who suddenly finds herself branded town slut. The dialog is clever and strictly first rate and any film that depicts sports and jocktards in such a negative light is to be devoutly cherished. Arguably the most reviled genre of all, Hemphill has a ball spoofing slasher films. But this isn't simply Wes Craven warmed over - this film has loads of style and a great sense of humor to back it up. For fans of the genre as well as those of us who might normally leapfrog over this on a rental shelf.
