Class of 1984

1982

Ultraviolent high school delinquent exploitation set in the thick grunge of the punk rock 80s. Strong style and atmosphere, this was almost a winner but the character development left me wanting. There were glimmers of complexity, and moments when I thought maybe I would be conflicted about a character's motivations, but it ultimately didn't elevate beyond standard horror fare. It also gets uncomfortable at times with sexual and racial violence, which are used to build up the villains for the final showdown, but may not be worth the quease for some viewers.
