Bad Kids of Crestview Academy

This film works pretty well as a teen comedy slasher, the kills are kind of cool if mostly unoriginal, but definitely fun for someone who is new to the horror genre.

The film never drags and the story has legs, but it does suffer from a lacking in the effects department. At least it tries to continue aspects from the original and doesn't just go somewhere completely different, so if you are a fan of the first film you will probably like this.

Overall this is definitely a horror designed for teens and never really rises above a beginners level in terms of entertainment, dialogue or gore. It's not a bad time though.

Although I am not a huge slasher fan I enjoyed most of the ones I saw (such as the SCREAMs and the I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER) and don't mind to watch them just for increasing the numbers of movies seen with actors I love. And although I have never seen BAD KIDS GO TO HELL I was very curious about its sequel after seeing it as a Youtube suggestion, and I ended up enjoying it.

At Crestview Academy there is the strange issue that when the students are put in detention end up slaughtered but this time five kids want to know what's really going on and try to stop this massacre, and things become serious after a student throws herself to her death on headmaster Nash's (Sean Astin) car. After some deaths, our heroes will do everything they can for stopping this madness also with the help of the headmaster and his daughter during a mid-credits scene.

As I have never seen BAD KIDS GO TO HELL I had to read the plot and reviews first and they helped me a bit. But I still liked this slasher because it reminded me of the classics of the genre I love and there were lots of twists and turns, and also lots of entertaining moments involving Astin, and the teen actors were surprisingly good.

Not to be missed for slasher fans, and overall, very entertaining and funny.

I've long been of the opinion that actors take roles in horror films because they can go to town acting outrageously and never be accused of overacting. Maybe doubly so for young actors in these teen flicks.

In Bad Kids From Crestview Academy five of them get detention in the library, but as that famous Red Buttons song went, 'strange things are happening'. Someone is out to kill these kids in a most gruesome manner.

Crestview is an expensive prep school for rich juvenile delinquents and the rich and famous pay dear for little Johnny or Jane to go there and gain that all important high school diploma.

The film starts out like the Breakfast Club but it turns into a gory version of Ten Little Indians.

In fact the gambit that failed for the murderer in the Agatha Christie classic succeeds quite well here. If you care to watch, if these movies are your cup of tea, you'll see what I mean.

Nice film. Not gonna blow your mind but fun to watch if you wanna escape for a few hours.

I enjoyed the film, but didn't love it like I do the the first movie. While they managed to capture the essence of the original film - telling the story in bits and pieces, out of order, any with layers within layers - but whereas they reached a point where that formula again worked, the film then went way too over-the-top in an attempt to really out crazy its predecessor. It was also disappointing that, while the first movie had reasonably well-developed, multi-layered characters, with the exception of the main character Siouxsie, all the others were ridiculously shallow one-note caricatures in this one. If you really loved Bad Kids Go to Hell, you're more likely to get some enjoyment out of this one, but don't expect it to be as good.
