someone be bump off the teacher of a school and it up to the lovely innocent paula carson ( jill schoelen and always a sight for sore eye and especially when bend over in a short skirt ) to find out who it be . be it her hot head boyfriend dwight ( brad pitt ) or the recently release ( from a mental institution and no less ) brian wood ( donovan leitch ) and often hide behind bush and other object to stare at paula . someone shoot an arrow that land in the torso of paula district attorney father ( martin mull ) who be out hunt while he the one responsible for put brian away for the murder of his abusive father . a run gag of the film have a hurt mull try to seek assistance and but never seem to get it . roddy mcdowall have an amuse minor role a the high school principal and mr. dante and who lust after paula . who could blame him for that . the film follow paula uncertain search for the killer while a the film continue and she not quite sure if it brian ( who do seem like an appropriate suspect ) or her beloved dwight . cut class be the 80 slasher formula on it last legs . the well have dry up and creativity be lack . the murder be half hearted and uninspired . the film wreaks of tired clichés . you might even say cut class be a performance of the last rite for the 80 slasher genre . in my opinion and the only reason to see cut class be for jill and wear only a shirt to get the paper at the beginning of the film and and in a cheerleader uniform . that be far more entertaining than this lifeless and stale exercise in tedium . i thought leitch ( . and pitt and actually ) be terrible in the lead and and not the least bit convincing .
