CUTTING CLASS

Cinemavixion Review

Rospo Pallenberg's "Cutting Class" offers a peculiar blend of slasher tropes and teen comedy, set against the backdrop of a high school rife with suspicion. The film boldly positions itself with a premise that's both intriguing and slightly campy: a teenage girl finds herself drawn to a classmate who may or may not be a serial killer. The presence of a young Brad Pitt in an early role adds a layer of historical interest, showcasing a pre-stardom performance alongside Jill Schoelen and Donovan Leitch. While critical reception, as indicated by its low Rotten Tomatoes score, suggests a film that doesn't quite hit the mark for everyone, its unique tonal approach and commitment to its B-movie charm make it a noteworthy, if flawed, entry in the genre. For fans of 80s horror-comedies or those curious about the early careers of its cast, "Cutting Class" provides a diverting, albeit uneven, viewing experience.
