The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

I wasn't expecting too much from this film when I watched it on Netflix. I think you have to have an appreciation for independent horror films to like this movie. The story was fairly typical a group of teenager get together for some debauchery in an old house then are killed off one by one. Very typical and classic formula, but it works. The soundtrack was good as well, I ended up downloading 7k album. The movie is shot in that low budget 80's way that makes it a little grainy/ hazy. The ending was great; it made me laugh, especially the little girl. I don't know if this movie is still available on netflix, but I feel it is very much worth your time to watch this. It is a little cheesy but the good kind of cheesy.

After seeing Christina DeRosa in Run! Bitch! Run!, I just had to see more. This was her first film with a credited role, and I would expect it be on the same level.Now, this is a B movie, low budget horror movie that pokes fun of other slasher flicks. Don't expect great acting, fabulous sets, or anything but blood, zombies, and gratuitous nudity, and you won't be disappointed.Nothing special.Mindless entertainment.Easily forgettable.

Microbudget, tongue-in-cheek, horror homage to the 80's slasher/demon possession sub-genres has a group of friends messing around with a Ouija board inside the house of a notorious killer who slaughtered his entire family before committing suicide. They conjure his dark spirit which inhabits various individuals in an endless spree of violence, certain characters dying in the exact same method as the family members did. Two geeky horror fans have created plastic amulets which actually work at warding off spirits which will, at the very least, give those who are still alive, a fighting chance.Shot on video often with color drained, this film looks like a no-budget operation. Three people, and one major financier, put this flick together, shooting in a singular location on Long Beach, California. Once named "Blood & Guts", a film director Jeff Smith, Writer Curtis Andersen, and producer Sara Parrell all sought funding for, before a pal, Wayne Watson(..playing an intruding police officer at the very end)forked over the much needed dough, "Stupid Teenagers Must Die" is really a goofy slasher outing with 80's references galore and "costumes" representing wardrobe worn by many influenced from Michael Jackson and Madonna. While the cast give it their all, each inheriting a specific stereotype(..although the token black character, who mostly died in 80's slashers, portrayed by Jovan Meredith, is the heroic leader), the movie has a hard time escaping the shortcomings of a budget stretched very thin. The gore isn't really that effective, with most death sequences splattering syrupy blood all over the place, with characters often entering rooms with victims already massacred, their intestines visible(..an "intestine gag" has one of the "theatrical nerds" walking in on a crime scene where guts are hanging like chandeliers). Constant profanity, attractive women baring their impressive chests, and a lighthearted approach perhaps will work for the affectionate slasher fans who embrace the genre-s excesses. The use of video for this film and merely acceptable sound display the limitations the crew faced. A forgiving audience might look over such things, but most will look elsewhere for their slasher entertainment.

Cheezy? Yep. Poorly filmed? You betcha. Zero budget? They proudly claim it on their posters. Brilliant anyway (or because of it)? For sure.This movie celebrates (and makes fun of) everything that was classic about the 80s teen horror genre: Characters with absolutely no depth, fitting into a stereotyped roll they never escape for a moment; teenagers trying to survive a slaying by some mysterious force they disturbed by doing something lamely adolescent; completely gratuitous nudity; impossible amounts of blood coming out of victims; slow moving zombies; great one-liners... and our hero even wears a Michael Jackson jacket! This is not an all-out spoof like Scary Movie, but more a tribute film to the lost innocence of the 80s horror movies... when being scared and grossed out could also be a fun, silly, sexy, and goofy good time!
