Heathers
Cult classic black comedy sees a clique of vicious high school girls, all named Heather, have the tables turned by the latest addition to their group (Winona Ryder) and her new boyfriend JD (Christian Slater). What starts off as an opportunity for Veronica to part ways with the Heathers becomes a descent into murder as J.D.'s unhinged nature becomes apparent.

Time Out
Uses an intimate knowledge of teen-movie clichés to subvert their debased values from the inside.

The New York Times
Its originality extends well beyond the limits of ordinary high school histrionics and into the realm of the genuinely perverse.

Roger Ebert
The film inspires thought, and has the ability to shock - two qualities that make it worth considering.
