Spoonixel Amateur movie with Big budget
Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
inspectors71 The worst movie I've seen in years, maybe centuries. I missed this ludicrous trash in 19 and 73 because it looked dopey. I have not gotten much wiser; I watched SSFG a few days ago, and I found out I had made the right call way back yonder. There is simply nothing to praise in this 75 minutes of idiot plotting and performance. I couldn't even pay attention to the lovely Kate Jackson because I my eyes had dried out from staring at the perfectly formed cinematic turd. I did not blink lest I miss something new in stupidity on my screen--re--tablet.This is 2016, right? Iv'e got some wising up to do.
Michael_Elliott Satan's School for Girls (1973)** (out of 4) Made-for-TV flick about Elizabeth Sayers (Pamela Franklin), a woman who checks herself into a college under a fake name after the suicide of her sister. Elizabeth doesn't believe her sister would kill herself so she goes to the college to see what's really going on and sure enough other girls have killed themselves or is something much darker going on? Yes, the title pretty much tells you what's going on in this Aaron Spelling flick that has some good performances and nice atmosphere but very little else. At 78-minutes the film seems twice as long and the main reason why is that every single scene just keeps dragging on and on to the point where you simply stop caring about what's going on. It also doesn't help that the director seems to think that you're going to come to the film scared and that he doesn't need to do anything except having strange looking actors playing male parts and have scary music constantly going on the soundtrack. Just check out the opening scene where we get a couple males who just look creepy and yet this is supposed to make us scared. This trick happens throughout the movie as every male role is either played by an elderly man made to seem weird or of course there's the one good looking guy and you know what that means. There's a nice music score here but it gets played to death so much that you really can't help but roll your eyes and wish someone would hit the pause button. Even though it's not creepy at all, the film at least contains some nice atmosphere but I've found most TV movies from this era, no matter how bad they are, to have this one quality. Another good thing are the performances with Franklin doing a nice job in the lead role. The supporting cast includes strong performances by Jo Van Fleet and Kate Jackson as well as a very good turn by Cheryl Ladd in an early role. SATAN'S SCHOOL FOR GIRLS offers very few shocks, no scares and there's really not too much going for it. In a decade full of Satanic films you can find much better ones to spend your night with.
fedor8 I've got no spoilers here, the movie is already spoiled.A fairly standard, run-of-the-mill, sexy-70s-chicks whodunit. And who dun it this time? Satan, of course. Says so in the title.Funny thing about movie titles, they often either intentionally mislead you or they give you the mega-spoiler straight away. Why this title was chosen, I really don't understand, because with a non-Satanic title the end-twist would have been a genuine surprise.The spoiler-title as a means to get you to buy the ticket - only to realize you'd been cheated out of an end-twist for the exact same reason why you paid for the ticket in the first place. Talk about irony. Except that, of course, this is a TV movie hence there is no ticket to sell. But whether TV or big-screen, the goal is the same, and the same effect of not offering the viewer that much in the "grand finale".A few suggestions: "The Horror-Ridden School For Girls", "The Girls That A Person Whose Name Begins With 'S' Likes To Mess With", "The Weird School For Girls That Might Be Dabbling With Things That Girls Would Normally Not Dabble With", "The Girls, Their School, & A Man Whose Name Is Similar To 'Stan'". Etc. All those titles are spoiler-free.Two-thirds of the original "Charley's Angels" are in this one (the cute blond and the forgettable gangly brunette). This might give you some indication of the cheese levels in SSFG.However, some types of movie cheese can be enjoyed. SSFG has that nice 70s feel, an attractive cast of females, and it runs under 90 minutes. Last but not least, it has Pamela Franklin, and that alone is reason enough to throw a glance at this obscurity. For some reason they cut her hair very short for the role, AND she didn't take her clothes off, but you can't have everything.
AshenGrey If you miss Charley's Angels, then this is the movie for you. It's got two out of three angels in this campy witchcraft flick.Poor SALEM! The town just can't live down that unfortunate witchcraft hysteria from 400 years ago. So here's another Devil film for Salem. This movie was pretty goofy, but I liked how the students called the administror "Dragon Lady" and never referred to her as anything else.I only ever saw two teachers in this film. The animal psych teacher was a mad sadistwhile the art teacher was a lecherous hippy. The headmistress (aka Dragon Lady) was a useless old drunk. The Salem School seems to have been a pretty big place and yet they seemed to have about 30 students (evidenced by the use of only two transport vans when they evacuated the school). I've also never heard of a college that uses alarm bells to signal the end of various classes. It's a shame that no effort was made to restore this film. My biggest beef with this film is just how bad the DVD transfer was. It had vertical lines all over the place, very muddy color, and more pops and hiss than a winter hearth full of wet wood.
