WiseRatFlames An unexpected masterpiece

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Hattie I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

Leofwine_draca 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.

Horrorible_Horror_Films Horrible movie, just plain AWFUL. This movie sucks almost worse than Titanic. Almost. Not only is the acting bad, but you quickly grow to hate the actors as well, all of them. The cinematography is also absurdly bad. The worst of all is probably the sound. Obviously the idiots that made this crap have idea what in the sam hill they're doing. The movie sounds awful! Every single person that appears in this film is obviously an idiot in real life too. If you were to find the stupidest people you could find, then hit them in the head with a hammer 20 times, then you would get close to how stupid the people are in this movie. This movie sucked a lot in many ways. Really, really, really bad and awful.

sikomike1987 High school can be really hard times because a lot of changes occur. It is the transformation from childhood to adulthood which is the biggest challenge of all. There are different groups that everyone hangs out with such as jocks, skaters, goth, emo kids, stoners, nerds, etc. Guys can be cruel during this period where sex is everything along with reputation. Teens usually begin drinking,smoking,drugs,and of course have more sexual intercourse. To have a bad reputation is worse than being sent to Hell because everyone wants to be accepted by people and when they aren't then they try to do whatever it takes to fit in. The film Bad Reputation took me back to those crazy four years of my life where I cared more about what other people thought about me rather than what I saw within myself.Bad Reputation tells the story of a high school outcast named Michelle Rosen who spends her lunch breaks under a tree reading than hanging out with her classmates. One day the captain of the football team starts talking to her and invites her to his house for a kick ass party since his family is going to be out of town. She decides to attend unaware that Aaron and his friends plan to gang rape her. They give her a lot of alcohol then slip a date rape drug into her drink. Aaron acts like he is going to take her to lay down but then begins to get very rough with her as his friends come in for some of the action. Afterwards Debbi and Heather( girlfriends of Aaron & his buddy) duct tape Michelle to a tree in the backyard with the word SLUT written on her forehead to publicly humiliate her. Michelle returns to school finding posters advertising her as the school slut.She tries to tell everyone the truth by nobody believes her including her alcoholic mother is sex crazed guidance counselor. Michelle then decides it's time to get even so she returns dressed as the school slut and luring the kids that branded her to a bloody end. This film reminded me of several movies basically Cruel Intentions meets She's All That meets I Spit on Your Grave but never ripping these films off. Debbi and Aaron remind me a lot of Katherine and Sabastian from Cruel Intentions the way they ruin Michelle's life. The rape scene was not very explicit but you knew what was going on, which made it that more effective. The murders were insane such as a guy being stabbed and the word FAG written on his head, guy getting chopped up and placed in a suit case, girl getting decapitated,and Aaron's death was the best one yet. Jim Hemphill has written a fantastic story that really makes you feel for the characters and is more realistic than anything. The actors also did a incredible job at making these characters very believable as well.Michelle is the kinda girl that guys should watch out for because she may be sweet but she can be very deadly. I actually knew a girl who was gang raped by guys like this so it made it that much more effective to watch this film. I truly recommend this film to every horror/revenger slasher fan. Also there were a lot of other great reviews for this film and believe them folks because they know what they are talking about. I'm so glad that I've added Bad Reputation to my DVD collection and you should too! Definitely looking forward to seeing what Director/Writer Jim Hemphill comes up with next!

scorseseisgod-1 First-time writer/director Jim Hemphill has captured the spirit of Roger Corman's New World Pictures in this very entertaining revenge picture. Anyone who remembers Stephanie Rothman's fine work for the studio should run to check this out. Shot on a shoestring budget, the film looks and feels like a classy 'B' picture. The cast of unfamiliar faces does a great job with this tale of a virgin who suddenly finds herself branded town slut. The dialog is clever and strictly first rate and any film that depicts sports and jocktards in such a negative light is to be devoutly cherished. Arguably the most reviled genre of all, Hemphill has a ball spoofing slasher films. But this isn't simply Wes Craven warmed over - this film has loads of style and a great sense of humor to back it up. For fans of the genre as well as those of us who might normally leapfrog over this on a rental shelf.
