Review of The New Kids (1985) by Lisa J — 27 Mar 2011
Try as he might Sean S Cunningham could never match the success he had w/ Friday the 13th. It doesn't have a bad expoitation concept as new kids Shannon Presby & Lori Loughlin end up in Florida w/ extended family after their parents die running afoul of James Spader & his gang.
Spader makes this worth tuning in for as he is redneck great but there is a lot of waste. There's hardly any payoff until the end unless you want to count vandalism. I was damn happy it had Tom Atkins in the cast but he's killed off in the first 10 minutes.
What a fucking waste! I think the biggest crime is that Lori Loughlin is never naked in this. She even has a shower scene but I guess she didn't want to expose her sugar boobies as a murdered bunny was thrown in there w/ her.
