NOTES |
The boys
don't get a look-in which makes a nice change but |

A girl (Tunney)
with a mysterious past starts at a new school |
|
and teams up
with MacBeth's three witches. There's trouble |
|
brewing and
you sense it in every step forward as they walk |
|
side by side

One of the
girls is courted by the school stud and then |

Of course
the abuse of power rebounds on them and when |
|
they turn
against the only real witch (Tunney) strange things |

This film is
passing amusement which could have been better |
|
if the
inferiority felt by the girl has been developed better. |

This isn't
another 'Heathers' more a variation on The Karate |
