When Brian’s released from an institution, it’s not long before the murders begin again. It’s up to Paula and her boyfriend to work out if Brian’s up to his old tricks or if someone’s trying to frame him.
Many A-list actors started their careers in slasher movies. Tom Hanks was in HE KNOWS YOU’RE ALONE (1980), Johnny Depp played the lovable boyfriend in A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (1984), and Kevin Bacon in FRIDAY THE 13TH (1980). For Brad Pitt, it was CUTTING CLASS, a bizarre hybrid of high school comedy and slasher film. This late 80’s genre entry is visually stunning with incredible costume design and a killer color pallet. Don’t miss your chance to rediscover this peculiar slasher, oozing with 80s charm.
