Cutting Class (1989)
Member Rating:  
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 on the main character, the filmmakers then pander what passes for suspense as Leitch's classmates head for that big D-hall in the sky. Not even a supporting performance by then-unknown Brad Pitt managed to rescue this lackluster thriller, which arrived far too late in the game to appeal to the teen-horror crowd -- an audience which by then had already migrated from Halloween clones and Friday the 13th sequels to Freddy Krueger territory after Wes Craven's crafty A Nightmare on Elm Street. ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi

If you're looking for a good slasher film, look elsewhere. If you're looking for an unintentionally funny bad movie with a very young Brad Pitt then you've hit the jackpot. Not only does this movie serve as a career low point for Brad but also for Roddy Mc Dowell and Martin Mull. All of the slasher movie cliches are present: dumb and horny teens, even dumber adults, the creepy janitor and red herrings. Plus you get bad acting, laughably awful dialogue ("I have this strange tingle all over my body. Have you ever felt my tingle?") and a lot of Wall of Voodoo songs on the soundtrack. For all of the trash I've talked about this film you'd think I hated it, but in fact I DO like it, just for all of the wrong reasons. It's a bad movie lover's dream, so if you're in the mood for some cheese then this movie won't disappoint.

Funny, funny, funny! :-) This send up of the 80's slasher flicks hits all the markers AND it's got like this 19 year old Brad Pitt wearing pink lipgloss!!! I thought I would die laughing. It's not a serious film, so don't expect Friday the 13th...

Liked it, though it was formulaic. Her acting was only so-so but her looks made up for it. Had me guessing only briefly as to the who-done-it.

As HORRIBLE as this movie is w/ the acting, the sad story line, and mind numbing cheese....I love it! It is so corny, you have to laugh.

This was good for horror fans, the acting was good and story but you know who the killer is from the very beginning they try to throw you off but it does't work, it is still worth the rent........Enjoy.

I would love to trash this but honestly, it's really not that bad. Very predictable and follows the script line to a pinpoint, but a little entertaining. Honestly, it would have been much better without Brad Pitt! Worth a look.

Brad Pitt and main actress made this slasher somewhat watchable since their acting was OK. Since it was late 80s it looked more modern than most 80s slashers. Story and plot was pretty weak. Not one of the better slasher movies. Alright for slasher - horror fans.
