ON JANUARY 30TH, CUTTING CLASS BECOMES THE THIRD ADDITION TO MVD'S 4K LASERVISION COLLECTION!
I missed out on CUTTING CLASS when Vinegar Syndrome released it back in 2018, but did manage to see it in 35mm at The Mahoning Drive-In Theater during one of their big weekend events! (I also got to meet Jill Schoelen and have her sign a D.C. CAB mini poster! She was a total sweetheart!) While the movie didn't exactly blow me away, I had a fun time with it and would probably give it another go.
And now I'll have the chance to do so thanks to the efforts of MVD, who are releasing this title as part of their ongoing LaserVision Collection, which also currently includes SWAMP THING and GHOULIES! If you missed out on the previous Vinegar Syndrome release, then you'll definitely want to snap this one up. But if you already VinSyn's disc, will you want this new release instead/as well? Let's take a quick glance at what this new 4K offers up before you spend any money!
Synopsis: High school can be murder. Just ask Paula (Jill Schoelen - THE STEPFATHER, POPCORN). Her overprotective father disappears during a weekend hunting trip. She's being romantically pursued by Brian Woods (Donovan Leitch - THE BLOB '88), a creepy classmate who recently graduated from a mental institution. Her jealous jock boyfriend Dwight (Brad Pitt - MONEYBALL, WORLD WAR Z) is looking for any reason to release his juvenile rage.
The lecherous school principle Mr. Dante (Roddy McDowall - FRIGHT NIGHT, CLASS OF 1984) is after her student body, and her friends and teachers are rapidly falling victim to a silent, shadowy mass-murder. As the body count rises, Paula begins to suspect that any one of her reckless suitors could be the twisted killer. But unless she learns his identity soon, her high school education will quickly come to a nasty end.
