Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

tiekbane The acting and writing in this movie are so over-the-top that it cannot possibly have been meant to be taken serious. Crispin Glovers' wild-eyed affected performance is not to be missed. It is the pinnacle of his career. Dennis Hopper is perfectly cast as Feck, the aging biker who claims to have killed a girl in the past but that he loved her so it's OK. The psycho kid with the nun chucks is hilarious in a totally non- speaking role. And Keanu Reeves acts like, well, Keanu Reeves. This movie boasts line after line of quotable dialogue. The killers' nick name is John because his last name is 'Tollet" which sounds like toilet. Check out the reason John killed the girl. You will never get tired of this movie. A classic!

cwbellor When you're a confused teenager who has just killed your girlfriend, sometimes the only person you can count on is George McFly. Of course, I'm talking about Crispin Glover. Crispy steals the show here as Layne. His character is a winning combination of brains and good intentions. He is a true original with his slacker initiative and punk patriotism. This may be the 80s, but as true blue as Cookie Crisp is he is not going to play by Reagan's rules. To this bug-riding burnout, the only thing more ridiculous than conformity is no doubt, gloves with fingers.In an uncertain world, he is certain of one thing and that is the bond between two delinquent buddies. Crispin knows that he's got to look out for his friend. Unfortunately, Keannu doesn't know how to be a team player and that's where the main conflict of this film lies. When faced with a dead naked girl, do you do the right thing or do you do a half assed job of hiding the body? Dennis Hopper is a Fecking delight in this film as a Hopping crazy drug dealer with an affection for inflatable babes. But it's the younger generation of angstniks that shine in this movie and Crispin's leather jacket alone shines brighter than any bratpacker could ever hope to.

zetes An odd film about teenagers and how they deal with murder. The short answer to how they deal with it: they don't. Daniel Roebuck strangles his girlfriend to death after an argument, and when his stoner friends find out, they go examine the body. Unwilling to turn their friend in, they form a silent pact to keep it a secret. Some feel uneasy about that, but they're pretty emotionally disaffected. Crispin Glover plays Roebuck's biggest defender, Keanu Reeves the teen who eventually cracks under pressure and Ione Skye Reeves' girlfriend. Dennis Hopper plays the gang's nutjob drug dealer who has a special relationship with a blow-up doll. Joshua Miller, who would turn in an extremely memorable performance as a child vampire in the following year's Near Dark, plays Reeves' younger brother, a 12 year-old who idolizes the older teens. Miller probably gives my favorite performance in the film. Hopper is also fine, though this is pretty much the same kind of role he had in Blue Velvet, which was made around the same time. All the other actors, though, are pretty lousy. Glover can be fun at times, but you can't let him anywhere near anything even semi-serious - he's too goofy to handle it. And Reeves, while playing the type of character he would eventually excel at in the Bill & Ted movies, is very weak. Still, with all of the film's flaws, it's so unusual that it's never less than interesting.

wdchelonis Spoiler: My ex-girlfriend of ages ago said this had happened at her high school, Pioneer High, in San Jose, CA. Though she didn't get one of the tours of the corpse, she heard about it at the time and when it was made into a movie, of course, she made me watch the movie. I'd have to say, it's a creepy film - actually not the film's fault - the idea of giving tours of a crime scene is creepy and that's ironically what really happened. Still, there's something about that era that I find captivating and that all these kids who saw the corpse pretty much kept it to themselves, maybe saying "that's cool" and moving on. So odd that so many should have seen it and said nothing about it to the authorities. Like some kind of freak show attraction that nobody questions or feels guilty about viewing, like there's nothing morally wrong about it at all. I find it fascinating and yet sad that society at some point can break like this. Like as if you were in the midst of a drunken riot stampede and came upon a corpse or two that had been trampled upon but ran right over it anyway without a second thought because so many others before you already had. As if to say, all those people can't be wrong... and yet they are/were. Really great movie. Sad that it actually happened but maybe we can learn by the mistakes of others and not let morals slide aside just because a certain number before us already did.
