This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

... View MoreA movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
... View MoreThis is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
... View MoreOur story centers around a high school, well developed girl named Kim played by Jill Lansing. Recently dumped and vengeful, Kim goes on a rampage with her Schoolteachers as her grades begin to rise. Enter Pricipal Elmhurst played by John Harmon. Old, crusty, hard of hearing and constantly pounding his chest for more Nitroglycerin pills. Mr. Elmhurst always reaches into his coat pocket for his variety sized bottle of the little white beauties when ever his heart is a flutter. Mr. Elmhurst Insisted on meeting with Kim's Mom but he could never reach her on the phone. (Thank goodness cell phones weren't invented.) Kim suggests that Principle Elmhurst should come over to the house tonight to meet with her Mom in person. Of course when the Old timer arrives Mother is nowhere to be found, only Kim wearing a bathrobe and a smile. Quick hands are in order as Kim takes the Principle's coat and puts it (minus the pills) on the hanger. Kim has him wait in the other room as she dis-robes and re-enters as a thunderstruck, eye popping educator starts the familiar pounding on his chest and the need to pop a few pills to subside the angina. He runs over to his coat to reach for his bottle but Kim already took them away as he falls to the floor. Other scenes like the final chase scene accompanied by the People's Court theme song makes you wonder why this film was ever made.
... View MoreJill Lansing is a high school senior who has just broken up with her boyfriend, Kevin. Naturally she's distraught. To distract her from her own distress, she disses her mother, wears a provocative outfit to school, arranges to become a prostitute, and seduces one of her teachers, Mr. Donaldson.Jill and Mr. Donaldson have an assignation at the beach. Wordless. She disrobes. He disrobes. Then they roll around in their underwear. You can tell Mr. Donaldson because he's the one with the gray hair and slate blue briefs. Jill Lansing is the one with the breasts whose nipples are the size of bull's eyes on a dartboard -- oh, and the chaste white underpants.Those are only from the first few minutes of the movie. I wanted to see more of Jill Lansing's generous bosom, just out of curiosity, and determined to fast-forward through the intrigues and get to the nudity, but I found I simply lacked the energy to pick up the remote control.Either this movie is in terrible shape or I am.
... View MoreBitchy, surly, calculating high school senior Kim Bentley (a marvelously venomous performance by tasty hot brunette Jill Lansing) ain't having a good time of it. She's been dumped by her jerky boyfriend Kevin (stolid Stuart Taylor), lives with her shrewish, overbearing mother (shrill Phyllis Benson), is still traumatized by the suicide death of her father, and is flunking all of her classes. Kim immediately starts to improve her miserable lot in life by seducing all of her male teachers and earning extra cash by servicing numerous guys in back of a van for scuzzy no-count pimp Tony (a nicely slimy Alex Mann). Things get even better for the seriously ruthless and amoral sociopath Kim when she leaves Tony and hooks up with smooth crime kingpin Lance (the ingratiating Garth Howard). Next thing you know Kim is bumping off folks for Lance as a deadly assassin (!). Crudely directed by Irvin Berwick (who also gave us the wonderfully wretched psycho riot "Hitch Hike to Hell"), with a spectacularly lurid, sordid and torrid melodramatic script by John Buckley and Tom Singer, rough, grainy cinematography by William De Diego, plenty of scrumptious gratuitous female nudity, ragged editing, a hilariously horrendous stock film library score (the "People's Court" theme plays in its entirety during a lengthy chase sequence!), terrible acting from a game no-name cast, a tacky theme song, a sizable smattering of leering soft-core sex, crummy dialogue, a mean, hard, sleazy tone, and one dilly of a surprise bummer ending, this gloriously gaga over-the-top schlock mini-epic makes for a whole lot of entertainingly trashy fun. One especially great scene has Kim give elderly high school principal Mr. Elmhurst (doddery John Harmon) a fatal massive heart attack by exposing her breasts in front of him. A simply astonishing disco dance party set piece rates as another uproariously campy highlight. A shamefully overlooked and under-appreciated exploitation crime drama gem.
... View MoreI have never so wanted to leap bodily into a movie and kill a main character this much (and I watched Pippi Longstockings.) While I admit there is a bit of truth to the proceedings, it's a pretty small bit.Plot: The Malibu High School a-hole is topless, getting ready for school. She is so unattractive that you could show her to Dawn Wiener from Welcome to the Dollhouse and give Dawn new hope. I guess the filmmakers thought she was attractive because she was thin. She goes to school, and we learn that her boyfriend has very understandably moved on to a rich girl who isn't stomach turning. She's flunking all her classes, mopes about at home, has a hilariously poorly acted flashback to when she stumbled across her father's corpse, and then decides to go the route of Julia Roberts to making her life better: prostitution. Without any effort, she seduces teacher after teacher (all of whom appear to be male) and blackmails them with knowledge of the locations of their birthmarks (they all have revealing birthmarks?) Then we get to see her become a whore with a van, working for somewhere around $.75 a head. When that doesn't work, she turns to murder. Unfortunately, not her own. She blows away complete strangers, and then we have a very predictable death by hiding heart pills and turning person on (in real life, her body would be the last one you'd want to use for that) In the end, she shoots her boyfriend's new girlfriend after trying to run her over and killing her father, and is about to shoot her ex-boyfriend, when the hero of the film, an anonymous cop, guns her down.Everyone I was watching this with cheered, and wished that last scene was interactive. The camera work is bad, the film is grainy, the people look like they were cast because they would work for free, and you can't help but feel apathy or hate. If that weren't enough, we get rotten music, too.Rating: -1 star out of four.
