This reject from slasher-movie remedial school -- featuring copious amounts of teen sex and the usual unimaginative gore murders -- involves the return of a problem teen (Donovan Leitch) to high school after his release from an institution. After essentially pinning the "Red Herring" sign… More

Critic Reviews

  • Felix Vasquez Jr., Film Threat

    It's that guilty pleasure you really won't admit you've experienced...

  • Felix Gonzalez Jr., DVD Review

    It is safe to say that the film would not be remembered at all today were it not for the presence of Brad Pitt ... and this is the only explanation for its release on DVD now.

  • Steve B


    Poorly written and -- if such is possibly -- even more poorly directed. I expected more from this?

  • Dr Blood  


    The "is he/isn't he?" connundrum is played to exhaustion but the ending is, although neat, most unsatisfactory.
