BAD REPUTATION is nothing more than a shot-on-video copy of CARRIE, made without an ounce of that film's style or direction. Instead this is badness through and through, limited in execution from beginning to end due to budgetary constraints. It's your usual story of high school angst and violence with a little bit of murder added to the mix; it's generally very poor and the almost entire lack of content makes it a chore to watch.

This is a low budget B movie, so one has to make allowances, but as a high school revenge movie it may fall short of "Heathers" but would fit in well with "Massacre at Central High" and "Teeth." High school is hell, and this movie gets it. Glad I caught it.That's really all I have to say. I'm a professional movie critic and think IMDb is being obnoxious in insisting I have to add additional lines. You want a full length you review, you can pay me. I'm just offering this as a brief comment on a movie I caught online at HULU and though enough to recommend.If that's not enough for IMDb, tough.

Another movie to be avoided. Probably shot on DV, the sound and picture is pretty low quality, along with the unrealistic dialogue, the horrible "effects", plus the amateurish directing, acting and cinematography.Maybe they were going for some kind of "realism", but it just doesn't work. The script is tedious and boring, the scenes go on forever, the editing (and everything else really) is just so predictable that you'll end up getting thoroughly annoyed and wanting to turn it off. I know I did.I'm sure they had great fun making this movie, but it's just not worth anyone's time actually watching it. It's not kitch, it's not camp - and if you want to see a good movie about revenge, check out "May" instead.

A shy, introverted nerd girl, Rikki Moore (Angelique Hennessy in her first leading role) gets invited to a party by a popular high school football player, whom promptly rapes her. His jealous ex-girlfriend than has poor Rikki's image tarnished within the halls of the school. But undeterred Miss Moore chooses to get even with all involved in this low-budget horror film homage to I spit on your Grave and Carrie. Well acted, good characterization, and nice effective kills put this ahead of the pack for films of the same budget. It's a slow-burner for sure, but well worth sticking around for the film's duration.My Grade: B DVD Extras: Trailers for "Distortion", "Death by Engagement", "Tweek City", "The Brink", "the Champagne Gang", & "Cult" (the first 2 trailers ONLY play upon putting the DVD in)
