GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Nonureva Really Surprised!

Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

denis888 I really like Winona Ryder, as she can deliver a tremendous role. Shanned Dogherty is also a great talent, as well as some other actors who took part in this...er...abomination of a movie. If you want a real cringeworthy, useless, worthless, hateful, stupid, empty, shallow, vapid, lazy, silly, foolish film, you got that. Heathers is a real epitome of a Bad, bad, awfully bad, tasteless, horrid tepid fetid rotten junk you can ever imagine, if you dare to try. Everything is lost, wasted and talentless here. I was deeply disturbed, shocked, outraged. Yes, I do have sense of humor and do enjoy dark sarcasm. None of that is here. Here, we are treated to some smudge of lack of sense and not even a tiniest speck of any hope of talent. I pity my wasted time, I pity Winona's awful part, I pity the whole production, which is a gobsmacking mess. Ingore this, avoid, delete, postpone and stay away as far as you can. This is the real example of really terrible movie.

jbaker232 I was drawn to this movie after watching Wynona Ryder's role in Stranger Things. I knew nothing about it before watching, assuming it was some sort of John Hughes-ish teen comedy. A few minutes in, I realized it was actually a surprisingly dark, surreal, violent movie. The comical approach to violence and suicide is jarring and a bit weird. I appreciated how it explored the parallels between high school and society at large. I understood that the deaths were symbolic of societal breakdowns representing what it means to be a good human being.Ultimately, taken in the context of recent school shootings, I feel the film has not aged well. It comes across as insensitive, homophobic, and vulgar. The way it seemingly normalized violence left me disgusted. Aside from the acting and cinematography, which I think were subpar, the plot and vibe of the film are just wrong. It straddles the line of comedy and social commentary, never leaning enough to one side and leaving the audience wondering, "are they serious?"

guy_in_oxford In the 80s when I was growing up, I saw films like this — films where the only person who appeared to even come close to defending the humanity of gay people was a serial killer.Yes, folks. We gay kids got either the dumb abusive jocks who will beat us up or the serial killer who will appear to defend us just so he can get lucky with a girl. Fun! As usual, the only possibly gay people are laughable and weak. But, more importantly — in this film gayness is just a punchline, without actual gay people anywhere to really be found.It's supposed to be sophisticated satire but it's not. Walking on geraniums and hitting a person in the head with a croquet ball is not sophisticated satire.It's not always sophisticated satire with the suicide theme, either. It does better in that regard, though — such as by lampooning the self-promoting social justice warrior Pauline and the unconcerned conventional blowhards around her.The feel-good conventional morality of Veronica at the end is cute but very Hollywood-fake.Ryder is an incredible actress and this film is definitely a vehicle for her, bad as it is. Fans of her beauty and incredible acting will like this film.Slater's father is not at all believable, nor is he all that funny. And, unsurprisingly, the Hollywood view of high school life is not much at all like what high school is actually like. If the writer had wanted something realistic to make the jocks look bad it would have had a scene where they sodomize a weaker guy in the locker room with on object. That sort of thing happens all the time in the US. By contrast, arranged threesomes (with or without cow-tipping) are the sort of things that happen in scripts. Instead of just being sappy and stupid bullies, the film could have showed the level of barbarism actual high school bullies will stoop to. But, this is light humor, where making fun of invisible gay people is easier.And no, outside of a Hollywood film, no woman with a functional IQ would have drunk that concoction.The best scene in the film is when Veronica drops the photo of her with Betty Finn, as Heather drags her away. That sort of thing is what the film could have done more of. Instead, it drowns itself, and us, in cheesy camp.There are some good camp lines here, though, like when she suggests to Slater that he stay home and shoot a few toasters. Bulimia is so '87 is a favorite, as well as a true friend's work is never done. So, it has its moments here and there.

Stephen Bird Controversial and a mixed bag of lunacy, Heathers is a story about Veronica, a somewhat socially awkward "good-girl" who desperate for some semblance of affection, teams up with the schools snobby clique headed up by three girls all called Heather.Veronica, fed up of the pressures of teenage life and fitting in being cool at all times, meets a dangerous sociopath named JD, this guy JD has an awesome idea, why not just kill off all the cool kids, including the Heathers.A young Christian Slater portrays JD in one of his earlier roles, immediately through his performance you knew this young lad had some serious talent, personally I could see shades of Jack Nicholson in his acting style, always got to be a winner.Winona Ryder played Veronica, at this point in her fledgling career the actress still carried potential, she could've been one of Hollywood's greats, and this performance in Heathers did her no harm at all in pushing her in that direction.Okay, I don't quite know what to think of Heathers, it contains all the elements needed to be a cult classic, but for me it just wasn't hitting the right notes, I could compare it to a pristine classic car that is so beautiful, but you keep trying and keep trying, but the car just won't start up, and it's not going anywhere.Confusing is another word, and choppy, the editing seemed to be clunky, and the plot was like a spiders web, capable of following as long as you held onto the thin thread, but loose the thread and you lose control of the film and will become somewhat lost. I couldn't understand what croquet had to do with it, the girls were playing croquet in the back garden, is this to demonstrate style and sophistication, it certainly fit well with the girls snobby characters.And one thing that totally bemused me, the opening and end song, Que Sera Sera, made famous by Doris Day..., the usage of this song illustrates how confusing and mashed up Heathers really is, but alas, it worked because it evoked the right emotions, some serene happiness through a calming song to start and end the sheer madness in the middle.Avant-garde anyone? Hmm...? It certainly must be borderline.So I leave Heathers with mixed emotions, the murders hidden under the guise of teenage suicides has left a mark on me, my best advice would be to watch it at least twice, it's absolutely vital you watch it that second time, because it will answer the questions the first viewing asked you.
