Review of Class of 1984 (1982) by Chucho E. Q — 04 May 2007
Kitsch, dark, twisted masterpiece from the 80s!! A nice film that turns into an ode to anarchy after a while and then into a cheesy horror flick, almost slasher-flick. Anyways, it's a prophetic film that goes too far without going THAT far with an OUT-OF-THIS-FUCKIN-LUNATIC-WORLD performance by Timothy Van Patten that should be remembered as one of the greatest performances of the 80s!!! Unbelievable talent and a sexy performance from a guy that is wasting himself directing TV series instead of using his extreme talent to pursue acting.
Michael J. Fox is just a chubby kid here and you shouldn't see this just for him but for Perry King's lead role and Roddy McDowall's amazing performance from the beginning to his legendary breakdown.
Probably the greatest Mark L. Lester film... and that's saying much... A fuckin MUST SEE!!
