Cutting Class Ratings & Reviews
- Larry Yates1 november 2025Cheesy 80s horror with a young Brad Pitt. Not bad.
- tafreem29 augustus 2025SUCH A WASTE OF GREAT TALENT. ONE OF THE BEST CAST HORROR MOVIES, THEY JUST HAD A LOUSY SCRIPT TO WORK WITH.
- Kevin Ward1 juli 2025This is what I imagine Brad Pitt was actually like in high school. I’ve had this on my slashpick list for a while, but could never pull the trigger because it looked kinda bad. It is, but it was better than I imagined. Poor Paula simply can’t get away from dude constantly trying to get into, or look up her skirt—including the pervo principal. Most of the kills are kind of mediocre leading up to the finale, resorting to off-screen or pseudo-off-screen kills. But the finale is pretty great. And Gene Parmesan!! Lots of great 80’s tropes. Art class with live models. Mental institutions (of course), the aforementioned chasing of high schooler tail, and a woman complaining about her bunions. I feel like that’s a trope we don’t get anymore. Have we eradicated bunions?
