Editorial Reviews

Terrifying Girls' High School opens with a female school clique bloodletting a fellow student amidst verbal abuse and harsh accusation. The terrified girl breaks free of the life-draining vacuum syringe and races to the roof, where her tormentors force her off the ledge and stomp on her fingers until she falls to her death. This is all before the main titles! And that clique? They aren't even the real bad girls! This is reform school, and the new crop of inmates (whose apprehension we witness) includes Miki Sugimoto and Reiko Ike. This is like Mean Girls via Caged Heat as written by Jess Franco and directed by Russ Meyer. All those Takashi Miike fans need to check out this film.

4.0 out of 5 stars Brutal and beautiful, October 29, 2006

Living up to the Pinky Violence moniker in ways you couldn't imagine, this film packs in more brutality before the opening credits than most films of this genre. You can read (and probably have) read the plot synopsis before reading this reviews, and you may ask yourself: Is this as good as it sounds? Yes.

Sure, there are moments that are hokey, and there are cultural differences (as to be expected in a 1970s Japanese film), but it is one of the best of the Pinky Violence series, and it wears its vileness proudly. There's also a social message here, too, but don't think it detracts from the film's exploitation angles. It doesn't.

This is a fine film overall. It's a must-see for anyone interested in the genre. It is not, hwoever, for the squeamish, as there is plenty of blood, violence and nudity -- and they're often combined.

5.0 out of 5 stars They are taking this school over-stand back!, December 16, 2006

This review is from: Terrifying Girls' High School: Lynch Law Classroom (DVD)

Brilliant film in the tradition of "Reform School Girls" but with the Japanese code of honor twist. Definitely a different film and a different take on the role of women in society (consider: The Theory of Practice) and the importance of honor and the code of conduct as social contract. Also a very heavy piss-take on the puffed up effrontery of the bureaucrat and the corrupt business man so prominent in modern countries.
It is also strange that when female nudity is the subject, pubic hair is like Kryptonite to the Japanese auteur. Considering the scenes of rape, inappropriate adult-child/student intercourse, torture and murder, a few black curly hairs would have been a problem. Very interesting.
This film is a hoot but very not for kids. Definitely of a tradition with anime, though, for those who can handle it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Erotically Disturbing, April 19, 2007

Terrifying Girls' High School Stars Miki Sugimoto and Reiko and directed by the guy who filmed Sex and Fury. This film is about a Japanese reform school for bad girls, and Miki and Reiko are sentenced there only to discover that the female students have killed one of their own and cover it up. There is a lot of nudity and sex but plenty of the strong graphic violence that the movie would have not been shown on Cinemax or Encore. In all of the top 20 classic Japanese bad girl movies, this would be ranked at No. 3.
