Where did I go wrong, please let me know. I have seen some reviews that were very good about this movie so I ordered it straight away, but was I disappointed after watching it. It could have been a rape/revenge flick but it failed. Failed in all ways. When the gangrape takes place nothing happens, you just see the boys there faces, that's all, in this time were movies are explicit it is a major mistake to show nothing, nothing at all, no flesh, no underwear. When she's out for revenge she kills those who raped her, again, all off screen and with no blood. When the knife cuts someone's throat, well, no blood is shown, when she pulls the knife out, clean, no blood on the knife. When she hits someone with a book, blood flows around to hit the wall, man, I didn't know that a book was more lethal then a knife! The only good thing is that there isn't a good ending. Again, childish movie, never scary, never entertaining. The best part is the DVD cover...

In the interest of full disclosure, I have to admit that I really wanted to be in California this weekend to meet the director and cast and see this on the big screen. But, I have to be satisfied with my video autographed by the director Jim Hemphill in his first effort at a horror film.

The story was basic high school revenge after a rape by Aaron (Jared Anderson) after he drugs Michelle (Angelique Hennessy). She gets blamed and duct taped to a tree by Debbie (Dakota Ferreiro and her friend, while Wendy (Danielle Noble) just watches. The whole school is ragging her the next day as a slut, and the school counselor (T.W. Porrill) is more interested in getting in her pants than helping her.

Well, that takes care of all the great people who also autographed my copy of this movie.

Revenge is sweet, as she systematically does them one by one. I won't tell you whether or not she gets away. You'll have to watch it yourself for that.

What I will say is that the acting was good for a Grade B film, the dialog was superb and the direction was great. What impressed me the most was the quality of the tape. The lighting and sour were superb, and that is rare in this type of movie.

My only complaint: It is really a PG, not an R rated horror. They missed the boat there.

BAD REPUTATION is nothing more than a shot-on-video copy of CARRIE, made without an ounce of that film's style or direction. Instead this is badness through and through, limited in execution from beginning to end due to budgetary constraints. It's your usual story of high school angst and violence with a little bit of murder added to the mix; it's generally very poor and the almost entire lack of content makes it a chore to watch.
