Review of Pump Up the Volume (1990) by Ren H — 27 Jan 2008

Slater is great as a pirate dj broadcasting from his bedroom, whilst becoming a sensation with all the local teens at the school which he also goes to, he is also a shy guy, and whilst in school cant connect with anyone, but while on air its different, the devil inside comes out, events turn when a suicide happens, and he talked to him on air, so local authorities get involved to track down the station, he is torn between shutting down or stading upn for all problems with high schol ife, and tenage life in general, slater a year after heathewrs shows he really was a talent in them days, and true romance a few years later, this film suceeds in bringing up many problems with american youth in early 90s, samantha mathis a well showing some talent, and a kick ass soundtrack too, one of the best.
