SEX

Gotta love Rose Mcgowan

I LOVED this movie when it first came out! I almost felt naughty watching it because it was just so ... horrible! I mean that in a good way. Erotic sex, a religious crazed grandmother, students liking teachers, teachers liking students, and a very naughty Rose Mcgowan! I have seen Mcgowan in a few thriller/horror movies but I think this is the first time I saw her play the bad girl (if you don't count Jawbreaker).

Anyway, we start out with a girl named Debbie Strand (Mcgowan) who has just lost her parents after their house burned down. So, she goes to live with her grandmother, and viewers get the impression that these two have never really spent much time together in the past. To start out, the grandmother is a little too religious and a little too psychotic. She is intolerable to Debbie's provocative clothing, boyfriends, language, and bad attitude. We found out early in though, that Debbie is just as intolerable of her grandmothers tolerance. So she doesn't listen to her grandmother one bit--she steals, she cusses, has sex, does drugs, and still wears her provocative clothing. So Debbie kills her grandmother. Yup.

Then, Debbie decides she likes her teacher and wants him for herself. We have already learned that Debbie expects to get what she wants. Her teacher (Alex McArthur) is going to be having a garage sale and needs help, so Debbie offers to help him. Soon we have a crazy murdering teenage girl stalking her teacher and things start to get very...bloody.

Anyhow, this is a must see film if you're a Mcgowan fan (like me!) and like these sorts of cheesy thrillers (like me!)

I give this movie 8/10.
