Review of Heathers (1989) by Anastasia . — 05 Dec 2013

I'm been on this Wionna Ryder streak, but it was all unintentional. Mermaids, this among various other things. I also happen to like Christian Slater. This movie is a satire where teen suicide is funny, as in they go around killing all the jerk offs of the school. Then it gets super crazy. Hey, I'm all about crazy, unique, and weird but the execution wasn't there. Well, it was there several times, but it just wasn't working for me.

The dark just got boring and strange beyond anything else. The first 20 minutes of the movie was wonderful but then it went down the hill of disappointment. And that's the greatest let down of all: high expectation build and then ripped from your hands. Disappointment has no bounds, no limitations on the effects of life.

I guess I was just not in the mood for a dark comedy. But I do like that there are Heathers out there.
