Absolutely Fantastic

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

For no good reason, the school's popular hunky guy and the gang of popular girls decide to make the life of the school's nerdy virgin girl a living hell. She just minds her own business reading books. Can't have that. Her mother is barely meeting ends meet but is also one of those only-in-the-movies parent who treats her daughter as if she's a slut for no reason whatsoever and wants to keep her sheltered.The guy invites the girl to a party at his place. She goes, he forces himself onto her. Then the gang of girls grab her, duct-tape her to a tree, drawing "slut" on her face, the usual stuff. At school, they ridicule her non-stop. She seeks help from a counselor who doesn't take her seriously. Eventually she has no choice but take action and take revenge.That's all there is to this movie. It's a low budget movie, it has a good occasionally smart script but there just isn't much to see. Angelique Hennessy does a great job and the movie improves several notches once we get into revenge mode. Unfortunately, the low budget, and the poor visuals didn't help the movie one bit.

The plot strives for shock value over the kind of brilliant sum of subtle intellectual thrills that make great movies. The sexual assault scene felt appropriately long; this is the sort of thing that should make everyone in the audience feel disgusting. The compounding events after said scene were unnecessary, and made it feel as if I were being hit over the head with the horror of the female lead's experience (the writer seems to be telling us that if we didn't think rape and being blamed for it were bad, we should feel sorry for the lead's having to ask for her purse, not being able to start her car right away, and having an utterly stupid mother-character). The lead's embrace of her reputation trivializes her horrifying experience at the hands of three evil young men. The murder-as-revenge thoroughly disrespects the lead's purported intelligence. I could go on.The acting, editing, and directing is amateurish.The script feels forced and unrealistic.If you like the more ridiculous slasher movies out there or read supermarket paperbacks, go for it. If not, please don't waste your time.-Sean

Wow I don't even know were to start?! Well My brother rented it and it call the worst garbage ever!! It has really bad acting, there was no good plot in the story, just about a girl who gets raped at a party and try to kill everyone who was involved! It's not even enjoyable to watch!? So I had to leave like the first 30 minutes if the film, and my brother wanted to keep on watching it so he told me what happen at the end. So she just manages to kill all the guys and girls who were involved except one cause she ended up shoot at. Don't watch it! You'll regret it! I know I had cause I wouldn't be writing this right now. If I had to rate this it be 1/10 Seriously.

High school can be really hard times because a lot of changes occur. It is the transformation from childhood to adulthood which is the biggest challenge of all. There are different groups that everyone hangs out with such as jocks, skaters, goth, emo kids, stoners, nerds, etc. Guys can be cruel during this period where sex is everything along with reputation. Teens usually begin drinking,smoking,drugs,and of course have more sexual intercourse. To have a bad reputation is worse than being sent to Hell because everyone wants to be accepted by people and when they aren't then they try to do whatever it takes to fit in. The film Bad Reputation took me back to those crazy four years of my life where I cared more about what other people thought about me rather than what I saw within myself.Bad Reputation tells the story of a high school outcast named Michelle Rosen who spends her lunch breaks under a tree reading than hanging out with her classmates. One day the captain of the football team starts talking to her and invites her to his house for a kick ass party since his family is going to be out of town. She decides to attend unaware that Aaron and his friends plan to gang rape her. They give her a lot of alcohol then slip a date rape drug into her drink. Aaron acts like he is going to take her to lay down but then begins to get very rough with her as his friends come in for some of the action. Afterwards Debbi and Heather( girlfriends of Aaron & his buddy) duct tape Michelle to a tree in the backyard with the word SLUT written on her forehead to publicly humiliate her. Michelle returns to school finding posters advertising her as the school slut.She tries to tell everyone the truth by nobody believes her including her alcoholic mother is sex crazed guidance counselor. Michelle then decides it's time to get even so she returns dressed as the school slut and luring the kids that branded her to a bloody end. This film reminded me of several movies basically Cruel Intentions meets She's All That meets I Spit on Your Grave but never ripping these films off. Debbi and Aaron remind me a lot of Katherine and Sabastian from Cruel Intentions the way they ruin Michelle's life. The rape scene was not very explicit but you knew what was going on, which made it that more effective. The murders were insane such as a guy being stabbed and the word FAG written on his head, guy getting chopped up and placed in a suit case, girl getting decapitated,and Aaron's death was the best one yet. Jim Hemphill has written a fantastic story that really makes you feel for the characters and is more realistic than anything. The actors also did a incredible job at making these characters very believable as well.Michelle is the kinda girl that guys should watch out for because she may be sweet but she can be very deadly. I actually knew a girl who was gang raped by guys like this so it made it that much more effective to watch this film. I truly recommend this film to every horror/revenger slasher fan. Also there were a lot of other great reviews for this film and believe them folks because they know what they are talking about. I'm so glad that I've added Bad Reputation to my DVD collection and you should too! Definitely looking forward to seeing what Director/Writer Jim Hemphill comes up with next!
