Description
DEADLY DISCIPLINE When it comes to punishment, no one dishes it out the way Harrison High's Mr. Crowley does. But there's something even weirder than usual going on today. No one knows that better than the six juniors and seniors who are being kept after school. The doors are padlocked. All the windows are covered with wire mesh. And the phone wires have been cut. No one can get in -- or out. And somewhere along the dark and deserted hallways of Harrison High, a sadistic madman lurks ... show more waiting to administer his special brand of discipline. The fatal kind ... show lessTags

The ending (who the killer is & why they're doing it) didn't really make sense. It seemed like it was a plot twist just for the sake of a twist with no real logic or reason behind it. That said, I did enjoy it in an eyerolling, guilty pleasure way. There are "jokes" that weren't even funny in 1994 and one character is overweight and you are constantly reminded of this in the most fat-phobic way possible. I struggled to rate this, but decided that I would give it 3 stars because while it's dated and sometimes offensive it did have entertaining kills and there is one final plot twist after the killer is revealed that made it all worth it.

I liked the really offensive fat girl character. And the cheerleader who listens to Motorhead.
