Product Description
Westerburg High School’s elite clique of popular girls is “The Heathers,” comprised of the powerful Heather Chandler, the green-with-envy Heather Duke, and the cowardly Heather McNamara. Rounding out the foursome is Veronica Sawyer (Winona Ryder), who is so fed up with the Heathers and the entire peer pressure cooker that she starts running with J.D. (Christian Slater), a mysterious – and possibly psychotic – motorcycle-riding newcomer. But what begins as their noble effort to rid Westerburg of its bad apples ends up taking a real toll. And their teen rebellion produces a serious and mounting body count. Shannen Doherty co-stars in this cruelly hilarious dark comedy, which became one of the biggest cult classics of the ‘80s.

While Ryder certaintly has a spotlight put on her for a majority of this film, It is truly the performance put on by Mr. Slater that is the main attraction at play here;From the very moment his character is introduced there is a sinister ambiguity about him. It is obvious that something is incredibly wrong with him, but his mannerisms and voice also possess a particularly unique amount of charm. On one hand, the audience is uncomfortable whenever he is on screen, and this is true even during scenes where he is acting relatively “normal”. On the other hand, there is a mysterious allure in the background in regards to his character and the effects he has on others that is as intriguing as it is head-scratching. Undoubtedly - if I can convince you to watch this for anyone reason, The execution of Slater's character is simply unmatched.
Would a movie like this be successful if it was made today? Absolutely not - I don't suppose so, any way. Any individuals that are particularly sensitive to suicide should not watch this film, as the representation of this manner of death could be perceived as insensitive. Additionally, there are parts here and there that are tainted with homophobia, but this presence is relatively brief and isn't overzealous. The humor in this film is not the kind that makes you laugh out loud, but it speaks to the part of all of us that absolutely dreaded being in high school. At times the characters have no filter and simply speak their minds even if the context makes it inappropriate to do so; heck, sometimes they say exactly what the audience is thinking. There's a reason this film is noted as one of the best representations of ‘High School’ there is out there as far as cliques and conflict are concerned, and I couldn't agree more.
Given the year in which this movie was made, I do applaud the inclusion of messages related to mental health that are present despite How short or fleeting they might be. As cheesy as it might be, there is a real attempt by certain characters to implement strategies related to Suicide Prevention within their fictional community; These characters are a point of contention at times or are simply labeled as “hippies,” but I can only imagine what effect this had on audience members when this film was released. My main point in bringing this up is that these subtle messages related to mental health are certainly not needed to make a film more enjoyable or entertaining , nor do they need to hold a significant amount of weight to be noticed; regardless, the thought and consideration is simply appreciated.
My chief complaint concerns the plot development as it relates to Veronica (Wyder). At the beginning of the movie she is in this clique of ‘Heather's ,’ and no information is given regarding the longevity of the relationship she has with them or the nature of it. with the exception of scenes in which she is writing in a journal, little insight is given regarding why she feels the way that she does about these people that she often refers to as her “best friends”; because of this, the amount of involvement she has in planning their demise seems haphazardly rushed and just doesn't quite fit in as a plot device once the conclusion is reached. There is a desire to portray Veronica as some kind of vigilante, but there wasn’t enough done to justify her /own/ behavior and her /own/ thoughts towards ‘the Heathers’. I have seen other movies comparing this one to ‘Mean Girls’, and I will just say that the amount of effort that was put into establishing motivation for the primary characters in ‘Mean Girls’ Is quite simply what ‘Heathers’ was missing.
Despite my primary jest, this is certainly a cult classic;
Intelligent, disturbing and original: I would recommend!
[To those new to Heathers, my advice is maybe read some movie reviews and if you decide to buy it, go with the Blu, if you have a Blu player.]
So, not sure if this is a statement about 'Heathers' or about the reviewer (that would be me) but, the fact is that I had Heathers as a VHS tape before I had it as a DVD. This Blu 20th anniversary edition is a timely and needed release and it doesn't disappoint.
To make it short, what you get approximately the Blu-enhanced release of the Heathers 20th anniversary DVD. It sounds better, the colors are shaper and more brilliant. I don't believe I noticed to many artifacts and, in some instances, I did have a few 'aha' moments where the Blu resolution enhancements were evident. This being a re-release of a late (very low budget) 80's movie, the quality doesn't approach that of 21st century movie on Blu but my suspicion is that even the original picture had an added and very slight dream-suggesting blur-glow as the story line tends to follow the border between a make-believe reality and a world of dreams and wishes. Or, maybe it was just the cheap film could afford and the fact that all had to be done in a hurry as Heathers was the last movie New World Pictures was going to distribute before going out of business.
Surprisingly, for such an inexpensive port to Blu, this 'Heathers' comes with a VERY useful Blu-specific feature that I don't believe could be implemented on a DVD. The 'Fast Film Facts', when selected, will pop little post-it-like notes during playback, giving us some insights on what's going on behind the scenes, sometimes literally. For example, we learn that One of the Heathers was Christian Slater's real-life girlfriend, that Winona turned 16 while working on Heathers, that Heaters was released in Europe as 'Lethal Attraction', that the movie was done on a $2 million budget and that budgetary constraints were responsible for many shortened scene and for the somewhat botched ending.
In addition, the two featurettes are very much worth watching. They've been done approximately 10 and 20 years after Heathers' debut with the more recent, "Return to Westerburg High" featuring interviews with writer Daniel Waters and director Michael Lehmann, apparently shot in HD and the older "Swatch Dogs and Diet Coke Heads" sill fresh, informative and entertaining after all these years.
Overall, even though I still have the original DVD version, I am happy to add Heathers to my Blu-ray library and it's not likely that I will ever play the DVD again. For a Blu-ray release, NOT a restoration, this is as good as it gets and the price is right. I hesitated between a 4-star vs. a 5-star rating. And it was the compromised ending that tipped the balance down. Regardless, I will always love this movie and, as teen, dark comedies go, Heathers will always be the frame of reference.
The nature of the Heathers is revealed in the opening as Veronica dreams that they are hitting wooden balls into her head because they look down on her. Next, they have Veronica forge a love letter to a nerdy big girl to play a mean joke on her. These are examples of the power and influence the three girls have at school. They believe they are above everyone else and can literally do anything as a result. Veronica eventually decides she’s had enough and J.D. helps her out. The movie then enters into the dark imagination of Veronica and J.D. It’s full of irony as the Heathers suddenly become popular with all the people they once tormented and made fun of.
The film is a commentary about high school life with the social hierarchy amongst students. These are repeated in adult life as well. As J.D. points out the high school is symbolic of society with the haves and the have nots.

Tells a tale of a high school ruled by a clique, the 'Heathers', where image is everything.
Murder, swears and action.
I'd describe it as a dark movie, and not a typical teen movie, but it really is a good flick and rumbles up a few laughs and provokes a few thoughts, with the running theme of teen suicide.
