cut class be a late eighty slasher flick that deliver on the most pathetic of level . it actually have a good cast featuring jill schoelen and brad pitt and roddy mcdowell and donovan leitch . but even with these actor the movie be a complete failure and in my opinion . leitch play the part of brian who have be release from a psychiatric ward for murder his father fives year ago . upon return to school and his old friend dwight ( pitt ) decide he would rather humiliate him than to be his friend again . jill schoelen play paula who be dwights girlfriend and be the love interest of brian and also . suddenly and teacher and student be turn up miss or dead and it come down to whether brian be the killer or dwight be the killer . i saw this film many year ago and have trouble sit through it then . i do not know why thing would be different now . the script be laughable and the actor try to do their best but still turn out bad . what roddy mcdowell be do in this movie play a perverted principal be beyond me . such a great actor and to end up in trash like this be just sad . the actor that do the best with his character be brad pitt . he do a surprisingly decent job . the murder scene be extremely weak with a few off screen killing and one killing with a very fake ax to the head . just disappointing . negative .
