1/10
Obvious, dreadful junk, cynically created, badly made
17 October 1998
This is one of the worst of the latter-day horror movies following in the wake of SCREAM, but lord help us, I'm sure that even worse wait in the wings. Cynically calculated to appeal to the audience the filmmakers think like horror movies (slightly alienated kids into Goth), this tries to re-do some of the ideas of INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS and THE STEPFORD WIVES as a teen-oriented horror movie. But it makes no sense, and the idea of horror here seems to consist of kids wearing letterman jackets! and liking yogurt! and combing their hair! And they freak out when they get horny. Fortunately, the goofy janitor -- a badly wasted William Sadler -- has an electronic rat-attracting device that, by a really impressive coincidence, works on the zombified teens. Lucky for us. A shameful movie.
