1.0 out of 5 stars Bad... just bad, October 3, 2007

WARNING: This is an amateur film, shot on a digital camera. For a high school video project, it isn't bad. However, anyone expecting a professionally filmed & produced movie will be sadly disappointed. The cinematography is a joke. The acting is stilted and unnatural. The dialogue is dreadful. More time and skill went into producing the cover art than the actual product. Oh, and there's not even any gratuitous nudity to fast forward to.

This review is from: Bad Reputation (DVD)

For once, a indie horror has been made with a solid srcipt,cast and direction.It being a "one by one" revenge horror may sound old and tired but this one really pulls it off with style and wit.A horror with characters you identify with/feel for, what could be better than that?

This review is from: Bad Reputation (DVD)

Bad Reputation is a strong and powerful first feature film by director and writer Jim Hemphill. While it follows a basic rape-revenge plot, it still feels fresh. As it begins, it feels like a teen romantic comedy, much like She's All That (which is cleverly referenced by Aaron in the beginning of the film), but it progresses to become something much deeper and more terrifying than your average teen romp. The mood changes when Aaron and crew drug Michelle. From here on out, it's a horrifying, painful and downright satisfying film to watch.

The strong points in the film are the writing, acting and directing. The dialogue is realistic and intelligent, never insulting the viewers' intelligence. I love how clever references are featured, including an obvious nod to Jason of the Friday the 13th series in Michelle's revenge scenes. The characters are also developed quite well, and they never fall into the trap of becoming caricatures of high school students. You can actually make an emotional connection with each of them, which really affects how you view the film. You care about Michelle and want to see her get her revenge on all who have wronged her as much as you want to see those in the clique suffer. The direction ensured that the subject matter was not cheapened. This film has elements of Carrie, I Spit on Your Grave and May. Yet, Bad Reputation never rips these films off.

A stunning entry into the world of horror, Bad Reputation is one of the best independent films I've seen in a long time and proves that revenge is definitely sweet.
