Satan's School for Girls (2000)

Not as good as the remake
My daughter loves the remake of this with Shannon Doherty. We bought this hoping it will be similiar. Not even close. She only watched the first five minutes of it. For an older movie it is very good, but when you are expecting something with more special effects....doesn't work.

I liked it! But then again...I like cheese!!!
The above heading says it all. It's by far not perfect or even great. But it's fun to watch. The disc transfer is horrible...but it was origionally a tv movie and I doubt the origional transfer was kept in good condition. It's fun to see some of the "Charlie's Angels" before they were the Angels!!! And Pamala Franklin is always a hoot to watch. There are some nice atmospheric scenes that do remind you that you are watching a "horror" film. Overall...I loved it 'cuz it's cheesy and thats the type of movie I adore!!!
