Notes

My quick rating 6,0/10. I had forgot how full on this bully flick was. Mid 80s had quite a few movies about bullying. It took the Internet to be in full swing before people actually started paying attention to the problem. Anyway, in this flick Spader plays the bully (other mentioned flick he is the one bullied) and him and his buddies have their eyes set on the new girl in school. Unfortunately for them, her brother is there to stick up for his sis. It goes from high school bullying up to murder and rape quite quick in this one and that is why this one is still classified as horror (i still go with thriller). The parts are played well, especially the dumb followers of Spaders. Tense thriller that you know everything that is coming and still watch to see it happen.
