SoftInloveRox Horrible, fascist and poorly acted

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Maxelle I'll start with the few pros. Brad Pitt. End of pros. He is THE only good actor in this movie, and even he couldn't save it from being awful. The special effects were average at best. The blood looked fake, and that's bad when you have a slasher movie to make. The mystery behind the killer is hidden at first when you believe it's the red herring. They actually did that well. But when they blatantly give you a piece of daunting evidence its the killer it's too ludicrous to believe so you believe the opposite. And I managed to discover who the killer was within moments of this idiotic discovery of the(SPOILER, Ring, End Spoiler)Cutting Class offers nothing new or even fresh to the slasher sub genre. EVERY death is bland and uninspired. Even the original deaths were too hokey to believe. I understand its a horror-comedy but even the comedy parts weren't funny. A failed attempt to kill the killer with sodium springs to mind.Please avoid this film. IT is one of the few films I ever rated below a 3. I wouldn't even catch it on TV.

platypixo76 I don't know why it only has 3.5 stars. It has excellent acting with a wonderful supporting cast. nice boobs!! she's quite an attractive lady. much sexier than that brad pitt guy. the techno music created a nice ambiance, and the movie contained a great amount of suspense. i would watch it over and over and over again! i just watched it and I'm about to go back and watch it again! i just need to buy some more popcorn. oh, how i enjoy popcorn. buy this one, you won't want to miss it. truly one of the best films of the decade. it makes star wars look like my little pony and my little pony look like barbie's adventure in las vegas.

Scarecrow-88 Someone is bumping off the teachers of a school and it's up to the lovely innocent Paula Carson(Jill Schoelen, always a sight for sore eyes, especially when bending over in a short skirt)to find out who it is. Is it her hot-headed boyfriend Dwight(Brad Pitt)or the recently released(from a mental institution, no less)Brian Woods(Donovan Leitch), often hiding behind bushes and other objects to stare at Paula? Someone shoots an arrow that lands in the torso of Paula's district attorney father(Martin Mull)who is out hunting;he's the one responsible for putting Brian away for the murder of his abusive father. A running gag of the film has a hurt Mull trying to seek assistance, but never seeming to get it. Roddy McDowall has an amusing minor role as the high school principal, Mr. Dante, who lusts after Paula..who could blame him for that? The film follows Paula's uncertain search for the killer;as the film continues, she's not quite sure if it's Brian(who does seem like an appropriate suspect)or her beloved Dwight.CUTTING CLASS is the 80's slasher formula on it's last legs..the well has dried up and creativity is lacking. The murders are half-hearted and uninspired..the film wreaks of tired clichés. You might even say CUTTING CLASS is a performance of the last rites for the 80's slasher genre. In my opinion, the only reason to see CUTTING CLASS is for Jill, wearing only a shirt to get the paper at the beginning of the film, and in a cheerleader uniform..that is far more entertaining than this lifeless, stale exercise in tedium. I thought Leitch(..and Pitt, actually)was terrible in the lead, and not the least bit convincing.

Woodyanders A mysterious killer bumps off various students and teachers at a high school. Possible suspects include angry jock Dwight Ingalls (a moody turn by a pre-stardom Brad Pitt), troubled former mental patient Brian Woods (an excellent performance by Donovan Leitch), lecherous principal Mr. Dante (a deliciously leering Roddy McDowall), and creepy weirdo janitor Shultz (a hilariously manic Robert Glaudini). Sweet Paula Carson (winningly played by the adorable Jill Schoelen) finds herself caught in the middle of Dwight and Brian. Director Rospo Pallenberg, working from a witty tongue-in-cheek script by Steve Slavkin, milks the standard premise for maximum campy entertainment. The game cast give it their proverbial all: Pitt and Leitch make for fine adversaries, Schoelen is her usual pretty and appealing self, Martin Mull contributes an amusingly droll portrayal of Paula's bumbling dad William, Brenda James delightfully vamps it up as the luscious Colleen, and Dirk Blocker has a grand jerky time as browbeating ramrod Coach Harris. The nifty murder set pieces -- art teacher stuffed in kiln, vice principal killed by a Xerox machine (!), gym teacher impaled on a flagpole -- all do the trick. Avi Karpick's slick cinematography, Jill Fraser's funky shivery score, the cool'n'catchy 80's rock soundtrack (the fantastic New Wave band Wall of Voodoo have three songs featured herein), and the rousing conclusion are all up to speed. Good, goofy fun.
