Plot: At Ronald Reagan High School, the power elite clique consists of Courtney Shane (Rose McGowan), Julie Freeman (Rebecca Gayheart), Marcie Fox (Julie Benz), and Liz Purr (Charlotte Roldan). The four girls control the school through a combination of beauty, sex, and intimidation. Of the four, only Liz is actually liked by the less fortunate members of the student body, and Liz is also the only one who can keep Courtney, the vicious group leader, in check. Unfortunately for Liz, she's also the only thing keeping Courtney from becoming prom queen. To achieve her goal, Courtney convinces Marcie and Julie to kidnap Liz on her 17th birthday and force her to eat until she's too fat to win. The three sneak into Liz's house, tie her up, stick a jawbreaker in her mouth, and gag her to keep her quiet before they throw her into the trunk of a car. Once they decide to free her, though, they find Liz has choked to death. Courtney decides not to go to the police; her brilliant idea is to take the body back home and create a death scene where Liz is strangled during kinky sex. Predictably, the girls screw it up, and they end up with a witness, social outcast Fern Mayo (Judy Greer). To buy her silence, Courtney draws her into the clique, transforming much more than just her outward appearance. The identity of Fern disappears, to be replaced by the very popular Vylette. In parallel to the rise of Vylette, we witness Julie's descent. Overcome with guilt over Liz's death, Julie drops out of the clique, and without the veil of protection from the others, she is now a target of abuse throughout the school. Courtney's ordeal has just begun as Vylette now challenges her for prom queen and Julie, with the help of another outcast, Zach (Chad Christ), now wants to reveal the truth behind Liz's death. ~ Ron Wells, All Movie Guide

Everyone should have this movie in their collection.It's like a mixture of ditzie..ness like Clueless,that mean girl attitude like Mean Girls and an eerie horror feel to it like ummm....i dont know maybe Rocky Horror Picture Show(somewhat)but over all I think most people would enjoy this movie.From the name and the cover I figured it was going to be another little teen movie,I was soooo wrong because as soon as it starts your hooked,its like you'll be sitting there going OMG!! whats gonna happen next?Its a great movie and the shipping by the way...really fast like 2 days.Get this movie you wont be disappointed.

Rose McGowan truly shines
Added 2/15/2009

This movie is definitely a favorite of mine. I have watched this movie numerous time and it never gets old. Rose McGowan is iconic in this role and was born to play Courtney... the rest of the cast does a solid job too. This movie not everyone will enjoy but I know many who do or would if they gave it a chance. Proud to display in my collection. As far as cult favorites go this one takes the cake. If your looking for a oscar movie look elsewhere but if you looking for an enjoyable way to kill a few hours check this out!!!

It's really hard finding old movies in stores, but so easy on amazon. I didn't have much luck finding this in stores so looked on Amazon and found it for a great price as well!
