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.

Do 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.

Oh my gosh! The other reviewers MUST have worked for this absolutely terrible, terrible film. It is badly written, horribly acted, completely weaseled out plot and was there a director? God let's hope not because he was worthless! Did they spend all of a hundred bucks on this thing? The dialog never moved above trite. And good God man hire an actual sound person. Grammar school kid you-tubes flicks had better sound.The lead wasn't actually that bad an actress. But even when you look pretty good covered in crap, all anyone remembers is the crap. This is a lesson to all actors, just because you were offered a lead role, doesn't mean you really want to be in the film.

This is probably the lowest I've seen in budgets on film. It's not bad visually. But, man it hurts my ears throughout most of the movie. I should have brought my ear plugs. The sound technicians needed to work on those certain echoes on those certain details in each scene, and the car noises in the background suddenly changes in between takes. That got annoying, but I had to suck it up, and watch the rest of the movie with the volume turned down. Not much blood for this slasher film as implied on the cover. But that didn't really matter to me. The movies biggest strength was the dialog and it was rather witty and intriguing to hear what the characters would say next. Character development for the teens were actually pretty darn good. Especially for the character Michelle and the guy who gang banged her with his buddy. Revenge is always stimulating as in most revenge films. But it wasn't really worth watching again. Although original in story-line. I just felt some of the methods in Bad Reputation were a little too old school, as if it wanted to answer back to the slasher films of the 80's. Nightmare on Elm Street parts 1 through infinity and Heather's, for example.But it does tend to reflect on current events in American schools. Kids these days get killed for less in school than what was portrayed here. But I finished this film with a sense of emptiness. I thought it was fair to give this a 4/10
