Konterr Brilliant and touching

Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

slayrrr666 "Satan's School for Girls" is an incredibly enjoyable and entertaining film.**SPOILERS**After her sister's suicide, Beth Hammersmith, (Shannon Doherty) learns that she had a dark secret from her college, and goes under an assumed name there to find out more. Meeting up with Allison Kingsley, (Julie Benz) Paige, (Taraji P. Henson) Hillary, (Mandy Schaffer) and Mark Lantch, (Daniel Cosgrove) other students at the college, she starts to question the student body about the incident and learns about her involvement in an occult group on campus, but a series of dreams tells her that not all that she's being told is true. Digging deeper into the mystery, she gradually realizes that the cult has been manipulating her life to get her into their organization to complete a sacred Satanic ritual, and tries to get away before succumbing to their dangerous powers.The Good News: There was some really good stuff to this one. One of the best points is that the mystery is built up rather well. While it's quite cliché stuff at times, from the rather well-done and entirely fun suicide scene to open the film, which gets a little creepy at times, there's also the strange behavior of those on campus and their reactions to it all which make for some really good times, and then the gradual shift away from the suicide into the occult and their witchcraft-like ways is done really well and keeps the suspense up which is a nice touch. That these are done through a series of really well-done supernaturally-influenced scenes makes for some really good times, and that they're all good scenes as well is really good. The three big sequences at the big tree are really good, as there's some pretty nice sequences there. The two major ones are the scenes of them practicing their rituals in the middle of a pentagram are a lot of fun, and that there's a fully-fledged transformation during them is even better. Even some of the dreams, which aren't that big but actually quite well-done, manage to serve just as good of a purpose. From the dawning realization of the dangers to the cult to the rather convoluted ones detailing the supposed suicide, there's some good points to be had from these moments. There's also a couple rather well-done attacks that are quite fun, from the enjoyable opening where the malicious spirit is shown crawling along the frame of the house to get inside and take out the victim to a rather atmospheric attack during a raging thunderstorm that is a lot better than expected, this one manages to get in some suspenseful moments when it wants to. The best part, though, is the fun and entertaining finale which is the best part of the film. From the grand church that has a Gothic flair to it that really works to the use of the occult paraphernalia strung around to make it look even more intimidating and imposing, there's a great setting for the action to unfold. The action itself isn't that bad, mainly based around the occult ritual that must be performed, but is nicely aided along by the rather impressive finale which has a lot going for it, from the fire that makes the others burst into flames in an impressive set of visuals, and then the final confrontation with the main head of the group as well manages to be a lot of fun. Coupled with a higher-than-expected body count, this one is a pretty entertaining entry.The Bad News: There was a few problems with this one that hold it down somewhat. One of the main problems here is the fact that there's just way too much editing during the attack scenes that really serve to neuter the film so it's not as outrageous or violent as it could be. This is mostly prevalent during the later half, when there's more action, but it's still something to contend with, when it manages to either cut away before the main kill can be seen or just shown from such an angle as to make it hard to figure out what really happened. That it's just during the attack scenes, causing them to be severely edited down, is where it scores down due to the very fact that there's hardly anything to be seen in them. Another problem is the fact that the relationship between the two, which is so cliché that it had to happen and is eye-roll-inducing for merely being included, surprises no one and really serves no purpose other than to get her nearly-naked and nothing else, and easily could've been dropped in favor of lengthening some of the attack scenes, which is the last flaw here. A couple of them, either due to editing or other factors, are quite short and could've used the time the film uses building up a cliché romance into making them a little more fun. Otherwise, there wasn't much wrong with it.The Final Verdict: Far, far better than expected and actually with a lot of rather good points to it, beating out the few rather insignificant-if-noticeable flaws. This one is definitely recommended to those who enjoy these kinds of films or fans of the creative cast, otherwise go in with extreme caution.Rated R: Violence and some Language

agincourt1914 This updated version is overall predictable but otherwise excellent and suspenseful. However, a few "plot holes" and unanswered questions remain in my memory. For instance, how and to what extent did the character Lisa Bagley fit in with The Five? What was her relationship to the cult? Was she being used as a front to lure Karen/Beth to the group? By the climax of the movie it was obvious that Lisa and her friends were not directly involved with The Five, yet Lisa was killed by them. As far as the film editing was concerned, the practice of using slow motion to emphasize many key scenes was overused, as was the annoying "crow calls" and overhead views of Karen/Beth while she was being observed by some of the shapeshifters.Both Shannen Doherty and Julie Benz delivered standout performances, as did Kate Jackson. I found the character Paige(the black girl) very annoying. Her forceful and heated delivery of her lines contributed nothing to the film and would have been better left out. Jenny Hammersmith was also repulsive and in terms of looks and wardrobe truly needed a major workover.

power-sebbe This must be the WORST movie ever! SERIOUSLY! They didn`t even bother to add a plot...until the end (like "hurry up...come up with a plot, the movie is almost over...awh, this will do")But hey...it is so incredibly FUNNY! I want this in my DVD collection, to watch over and over again! Laugh at the bad bad bad lines, lack of plot, as mentioned, and the actors who are doing their worst effort ever. Not that former 90210 actors usually says quality, but they are far more talented in anything else they ever did! And what is better then a bad bad bad bad movie? except a good one off course. Nothing!Trust me...see this movie, if you dont like scary movies, this is the movie for you ( I am easily scared, you can take this) you will laugh and laugh.So, Aaron, you are kidding, right? Because, if you are...BRILLIANT! If you aren`t...go back to teen soaps!If there are anything you would like to say to me, please contact me, I like discussing movies.

mysticgoat What a great movie! For once, a tv movie that doesn't pretend to be any more than it is: light-hearted entertainment. I felt that the actor's and actress's portrayals of their characters were right on. They all knew the movie was just meant to be in fun, and it looked as though they honestly enjoyed themselves while making the film.Aside- I would consider this to be the second in the Everyone Wants To Be Shannon Doherty series of movies (The first was the often rerun on VH1 flick Friends Till The End).
