Amazon.co.uk Review
The Heathers are a clique of bitchy classmates in this dark comedy from 1989. The film itself was a good showcase for Winona Ryder, the Queen of Teen in the late 1980s, playing a high-school girl forced into the social world of "the Heathers", and Christian Slater, doing his early Jack Nicholson thing. While Ryder's character muddles over the consequences of giving up one set of friends for another, her association with the new boy in school (Slater) turns out to have deadly consequences. Director Michael Lehmann turned this unusual film into something more than another teen-death flick. There is real wit and sharp satire afoot, and the fusion of horror and comedy is provocative in itself. Heathers remains a kind of benchmark in contemporary cinema for bringing surreal intelligence into Hollywood films. --Tom Keogh, Amazon.com

Synopsis
In this well-hewn black comedy, Westerburg High is ruled by the Heathers, a moneyed group of pate-eating debutantes. When their resident brain, Veronica, gets fed up with the inane peer pressure, she takes up with the mysterious new guy in school and together they institute a ban on the Heathers--a very permanent ban.

Customer Reviews

Heathers!
Brilliant film, dark comedy, horror, teen movie all in one; its funnier than A League Of Gentlemen, its as shocking as Scream, and more teeny than American Pie...All that from the eighties?!?

The best film I've ever seen!
This is the best film ever. A horror, thriller and black comedy all mixed into one. The acting in it is fantasic. The storyline keeps you glued to the TV. Shame about the clothes, but hey thats what the 80s were all about. I remember when i first saw it, i wanted to watch it all again. I wish they would re-release it at the cinema because it would be so good on the big screen. This film has two great actors in it: winona ryder and christian slater along with the heathers. My friend called Heather's mum bought it her just because of the name but i'm glad she did because otherwise i would probably never have seen it.

Dark, cult, comedic
I saw Heathers for the first time ever around two weeks ago. Although I'd heard of the film, I knew nothing of the plot, which focuses on two teenagers (Ryder and Slater), wiping-out the 'popular' element at high school through a series of murders made to look like suicides.

With a million unanticipated twists, and blackly comical moments, this film in a sense, precedes similar plots of murderous high school teenagers in modern America.

It's a fantastic tale, brilliantly acted and well worth shelling out the meagre amount of money to posses a copy.
You won't regret it.
