this may be the single most boring slasher film of the 80 contain an alarm lack of gore and nudity and the stuff that this genre survive on . brad pitt and in an early and obviously shameful role and play the former best friend of a guy who spend five year in a mental institution and for the murder of his father and undergoing daily shock treatment . he be release into the general population ( though obviously still unbalance ) and become the prime suspect in a series disappearance and murder among high school faculty and student . cut class definitely wasn not pitt breakthrough role since this horror movie be litter with dull moment of teen drama and ridiculous and unfunny humor . not a respectful launch into film and brad . not to mention every damn staff member of this particular school seem to weakly withhold perverse temptation among attractive female student and include roddy mcdowell a the creepy principal . obviously and the body count should have be big and the death could have be a touch more elaborate ( there be literally no gore effect in this crap . ) . terrible film .
