    These teenager have so much angst that they drive to LA & go on killing spree; a John Hughes film this is not.

    Charlie Sheen should forever be referred to as "Emilio Estevez's brother"; in spite of the subject matter and Spheeris' blatant homophobia, I found this forgotten movie to be very intriguing. Lots of psychological intensity and misdirected rage, almost cathartic.

    Young. Handsome. Desirable. Deadly.

    A somewhat disturbing film. A good example of just how dangerous it is NOT to care about people.

    This was one twisted movie. But it had a story to it.
