Cutting Class (1989)
7/10
A slice of life
28 October 2023
This movie has all the elements needed for a good "B" slasher movie spoof. I was surprised to see all the talent in this. I will not mention everyone as the surprise is worth experiencing. I will mention the Principal, Roddy McDowall, who as you remember was his intriguing teen movie "Lord Love a Duck" (1966).

The basic "who is doing this and why?" story starts with a father going hunting and leaving his (you guessed it) inappropriately clad daughter home to study. Now we add to the mix, several suspects. The boyfriend (Brad Pitt) that seems a tad dysfunctional. Their old friend (Donovan Leitch) fresh from the psycho ward. And a whole cast of uniquely weird suspects that all had motive and opportunity.

A rather good array of dispatching tools is used, as people are being removed right and left. They left out the railroad tracks and the sawmill (close though) and the kitchen sink.

I f you enjoy this sort of movie then you need to see one that does rings around this one with a similar scheme "Student Bodies" (1981), where they use Horse Head Bookends.
