The beginning used to scare the crap outta me!


When they show how bad the school was with the girl getting stripped and thrown out of the bathroom. I was around 8 when I saw this so I thought that hs was going to be like that. Damn those girls were vicious!






I really like your car Mrs. Larusso!

Same here. The scene where they bash that dudes head over and over in the cafeteria always stuck with me as a kid. Horrifying.

I was the same way. I found that scene so horrific and I couldn't imagine going to a school like that.

It's also the only scene I can think of the made me feel this way as a child, but actually got worse as I got older.

Most scary scenes from movies I saw when young are no longer that way for me as an adult. I see them for what they are as silly or fake or intentionally over the top in order to be deliberately upsetting. But this one, as I gain life experience and know how serious head injuries can be, just gets more disturbing to me.
