Inspired by Hanna-Barbera's popular cartoon series, which premiered in 1969, Scooby-Doo stars in his second full-length film (made in 1988). Shaggy has accepted a job as a gym teacher at Miss Grimwood's Finishing School for Ghouls, a gothic girls' school that instructs the daughters of frightfully famous monsters such as Dracula, Werewolf, Mummy, and Frankenstein. Once Shaggy, Scooby, and Scrappy get over their spooky welcome, they settle into academic and athletic routines (like scarobic exercises) and enjoy an other-worldly relationship with the delightful Miss Grimwood and her gals. Shaggy prepares his students for a big volleyball tournament against the boys' military academy next door, a setup for all sorts of ghoulish gimmicks. And, of course, there's Back to School Night, where the girls' parents attend an enjoyable Who's Who event of monstrous proportions. Meanwhile, amid all the happy hauntings, Revolta, the Witch of the Web, is scheming to be "the most feared name in the monster world" and to make the girls' school "part of her evil team forever." In a final showdown, it takes a joint effort of the boys and girls to defeat the evil Revolta and her spider-bat flunkies. This predictable modern-day cartoon is a disappointing departure from Scooby's classic 1970s episodes, those campy detective romps full of lunacy and quirky humor and sprinkled with slapstick suspense. Scooby-Doo fans will also miss his wacky cohorts Freddy, Daphne, and Velma, as well as their invincible Mystery Machine. At least the original voices remain the same, namely Don Messick as Scooby and Casey Kasem as Shaggy. (Ages 5 to 10) --Lynn Gibson

Description

1959. A Car pulls up in front of the St. Francis Boarding School for Girls and out steps Christine: young and pretty... and carrying a sawed off shotgun. She coolly marches into the chapel where the nuns are in deep prayer, blows them away one by one then douses the room with gasoline. With the flick of her cigarette, the room in engulfed.
40 years later the school has been shut down and the building condemned-perfect for local fraternity antics. But when a group of students break into the cursed basilica, none of them are prepared for the horror that awaits them in the convent!

A very goofy, fun film with lots of gore. Reminiscent of Night of the Demons or The Evil Dead.......2006-11-23

A group of college students (cheerleader, goth, stoner, jock, virgin) decide to visit the old convent that was shut down due to a nasty incident that occurred. The goth chick, Mo, is captured by wannabe devil worshipers and they unwittingly unleash demons. As demons take over the bodies of nice girl Clorissa's boyfriend and friends, only Adult Christine (played awesomely well by Adrienne Barbeau) can stop them.

The opening scene sums up what is to follow. A beautiful babe in a school girl outfit and leather jacket with a cigarette hanging out of her mouth slaughters nuns and priests with a baseball bat, shotgun, and matches while "You Don't Own Me" plays. If you like this sequence, you will like the rest. Nuttiness ensues involving drugs, virgin sacrifices, forced abortions, gay Satanists, ditzy cheerleaders, and a pugnacious pug. Oh, and Coolio and Bill Moseley make appearances as no-good coppers.

It should be noted that this is one of the earlier works from The Gravedancers director, Mike Mendez and won the Audience Award at Fantafestival.

I have to say that my favorite scene (other than the opening) was set to the song "Dreamweaver" where stoner Biff gets high off shrooms and weed, hears Jesus talking to him, and tries unsuccessfully to mate with a demon.

There were incredibly likable characters you watched run around. Goth chick Mo (also in The Gravedancers) is adorable, Stoner dude Biff was hilarious, and Young/ Adult Christine oozed coolness. Unfortunately, none of these great characters get more than a half hour screen time. Instead, we are stuck with the good girl Clorissa.

As for the religious undertones, or in this case, way overtones, it is not preachy or sacrilegious. Mendez comes across as showing what is scary about the idea of having to conform within the confines of a convent.

I saw that the SFX received bad comments in other reviews, but I felt was okay overall. The make-up was a tad silly in some parts like glow in the dark veins and neon blood. However, the prosthetics used to raise the demons foreheads looked realistic and the "blood shower" scene was cool. The "Antichrist birth" scene was especially good considering this was low budget and it was only on screen for about one minute.

Favorite Quote: Satanist asks, "Are you the spawn of the Devil?" Nerd replies, "No, I'm a Lambda."... Or when Clorissa says, "My brother's going to be the next Antichrist? Mom's gonna be pi*ssed." DVD Extras: Audio Options (inc. Spanish Subtitles), Commentary, Behind the Scenes, 1 Deleted short Scene, and "Gore on Demand" which showed the death scenes up close and in slow motion.

Bottom Line: A very goofy, fun film with lots of gore. Reminiscent of Night of the Demons or The Evil Dead.

A different kind of movie.......2006-09-05

I wasn't sure what to expect with this one but the plot sounded interesting and anything with Adrienne Barbeau is worth the price of admission.
Some of the acting is rough and the plot is on the skimpy side but once you get into the movie, who cares! This was a hoot and a half. Interesting effects and characters and of course upon the first glimpse of Ms. Barbeau as Christine, you feel like you're seeing a familiar friend.
This is a fun romp that gives you a taste of horror, comedy, drama, and is good old fashion popcorn movie. I'd like to thank the writers, producers and actors for making a quiet evening at home much more interesting.
I recently met Ms. Barbeau before seeing this movie and when I mentioned it she told me I'd enjoy it and she was on target. (I also must mention that it was a dream come true to meet this acting Icon and she was an absolute delight!!!).
If you want a great movie with a dash of everything this is the one for you. And you had to see the ending coming a mile off!!! (Wink, wink, nudge)

Looking for cheese?.......2006-06-05

This movie is in the vein of the first "Night Of The Demons" or "Return Of The Living Dead" with campy dialogue and hilarious sight gags. I think some people who gave this bad reviews missed the point that it doesn't try to be a horror movie, but a spoof of the slasher/ demon movie genre.

All the characters are appealing in thier own way. I could have watched the Goth girl more...she was too funny! And the sight gags...like a possesed nun throwing up on a student...it sounds gross, but to see how they filmed it, it wasn't. It looked like they threw green PlayDough on the student.

This is just a film for horror goofy fun!

Haha.......2006-02-26

Ok, so this movie isnt scary at all, but it is absolutely hilarious, the perfect satirical B-horror movie. Pick it up if you enjoy a movie with an original touch and characters who are mockingly typical. If you are looking to pee yourself from fright, avoid this movie.

Not a bad movie.......2005-04-11

I'd give it 3 stars.
I was looking for a decent 'bunch of sexy young people head off to a secluded place and get slaughtered' flic last night and thought i'd try this one.
I loved Adrienne Barbeau since Swamp Thing so when i saw her name on the box it was decided.
The opening was good as others have said but i was kind of disappointed that they dumped the horror potential of the dead nuns and went straight to the schlocky demons so soon.
Anyways the cast was fresh and worked together well which is half the battle in these movies.
Some things made me laugh out loud like the flashback to her days in the convent 40 yrs ago when the nuns became demons and punished the students with paddles.
There were other little moments of great dialogue in the movie like the scene between the 2 virgins that are tied up together at the end.
Adrienne was ok but could've been a little more over the top .
Convent shouldn't be decribed as being in the same league as my sacred Evil Dead 2 but it's not bad at all.

Description

Rock'n'Roll High School meets Re-Animator in this notorious and outrageous 1990 horror/gore comedy. When two criminals accidentally release toxic chemicals into a school's water supply, those who come in contact with the lethal brew become flesh-hungry members of the walking dead. As the dead bodies pile up, the student body battles to stay alive amidst the blood-splattered carnage. The only hope for survival for this high school gone to hell is a pair of bookish nerds and a talent-challenged heavy metal band, but they might not make it out of lunch period in one piece.
