Cutting Class

About This Movie

Cutting Class is a curious blend of comedy, crime, and horror, all set against the backdrop of a typical high school. The film quickly establishes an off-kilter tone, with Paula caught in the crossfire between her two suitors: the rebellious Dwight and the unsettling Brian, freshly out of a mental institution. There's a weirdly light-hearted approach to some heavy themes, and the pacing tends to swing between flirtation and tension. Practical effects, while not groundbreaking, add a certain rawness to the horror elements that feels oddly satisfying. Performances vary—some genuinely engaging, others just amusingly over-the-top. It’s these quirks that make it stand out, a strange artifact of its time that captures the awkwardness and darkness of youth.
