Heathers

Max

One of those movies you don't know how you feel about but it leaves an impact on you. It is definitely a black comedy, as Winona Ryder and Christian Slater literally kill popular girls at their school. Its very entertaining to watch them do this. Christian Slater with a sound in his voice that you can't help but think Jack Nicholson, and Winona Ryder is very hot. It is totally an 80s movie, but it is like no other.

Brilliant movie. They say Kubrick was offered the project, I wonder what that would have been like! Regardless this is a wonderful film.

Lehmann's debut promised a career that was never forthcoming. Witty script that seemed subversive in '88 and in today's political climate unthinkable. Ryder was perfectly cast as Veronica and Slater doing a full on Nicholson impression entertaining. Droll, macabre and often funny with a ton of quotable dialogue. With a little sex thrown in and a Baltimore setting instead, it could have been a John Waters movie.

Matt Burgess

Clearly the best teen movie ever, a big "fuck you" to those obnoxious John Hughes protagonists. All the 80s excess doesn't merely date the film it adds a weird, dream like bent with the garish colours, high shoulder pads and cheesy synths at odds with its pitch black heart

Lars Ole Kristiansen

Almost every scene is a masterpiece. The script is pure genius, Winona Ryder is stunningly beautiful and mise en scène - especially the costumes (among the best I've ever seen) - made me drool. A+

If not for this movie I would probably not have survived high school. Winona is amazing. The film may be teen angst bullshit with a body count, but it's also a cultural touchstone for my generation.

''Killing Heather would be like offing the Wicked Witch of the West. Wait, East. West! God, I sound like a fucking psycho.''

Iconically subversive. So glad movies like this were already seeping into & shaping my worldview back when I was still too young to be critical. Especially in the 80s - 80s culture was brutal. Sort of like today, actually. Who's making this shit for kids now? Hopefully they're too savvy to need it.
