by the end of the 80 and the traditional slasher movie have pretty much run it course and the genre become too formulaic and over familiar to it jaded audience . rospo pallenberg cut class be an attempt at send up such convention and but it hard to poke fun at a genre that have already unintentionally turn to self parody and and the film wind up be virtually indistinguishable from the countless genuine film that it intend to mock . jill schoelen star a virginal and studious teen paula carson and object of affection for two ex best bud and overbear basketball jock dwight ingalls ( brad pitt ) and creepy loner brian wood ( donovan leitch ) . when paula be leave on her own for a week while her father and a district attorney and go duck hunting and she promise to behave and but with rival friend fight for her attention and the school principal ( roddy mcdowall ) perving over her as and and a crazy murderer bump off her schoolmate and stay out of trouble be go to be hard than she think . cut class certainly make sure to pack in all the standard genre clichés and with red herring and mislead clue a plenty ( hand up who though that sodium chloride would actually save the day represent i know i do ) and but veers awkwardly between silly humour ( paula bumble dad somehow survive to the end of the film ) and genuine attempt at horror ( the killing of the school vice principal ) and deliver crappy gore feature patently rubber prop and uninspired direction along the way . the acting also do little to improve matter and with future a lister pitt be unmemorable and unlikeable and offer no hint of star quality and leitch give an equally unimpressive turn and and a performance from poor old roddy mcdowall that can only be describe a extremely embarrass . thank heaven for the lovely schoelen and who be as winsome a she be in popcorn and the stepfather and and make the whole film just about worthwhile by simply show off her magnificent butt .
