HEATHERS [Blu-ray]

This movie made me laugh and just wonder what the heck is happening. I think its a great movie for older teens given all the gore, but a great movie in my opinion.

Great

I usually look for 4 or 3 star reviews because those are the most honest but damn. This movie hit me like a ton of bricks. Especially for someone who was suicidal in high school. It was brilliantly done. I've heard about this movie so many times and wanted to see it, finally, finally got to and wow.Its dark. That's what I was expecting, but it's not for everyone I suppose. I think it does a great job of balancing out the dark with light stuff. I watched this and thought: this is how you do a dark, cynical movie. The cynical caricatures of how people treat suicide, high school, over sexualization of high school, etc. hit so close to home in a way I haven't seen anywhere else. Sound design is magnificent. That heel clicking sound they used at the end was just *chefs kiss*.I don't want to spoil anything but I could go on and on about how much the questions this movie asks accurately represent the questions I was asking myself at the peak of my suicidal thoughts. Every last thing I noticed was something I had really, tangibly experienced.Also I don't know what that other review is talking about. Don't show this to your kids, at the very least so they can appreciate it in its entirety later on. Kids are smart but they'll still miss some things they'll notice later on. At least watch it on your own first. I think it does earn its r rating.

Think Mean Girls meets Natural Born Killers. This movie is great and has become somewhat forgotten over the years for whatever reason. Ryder and Slater are crazy and hilarious in this movie.

Film is a 10/10, blu ray is a 6/10

Heathers is a 1989 American dark comedy teen film written by Daniel Waters and directed by Michael Lehmann, in both of their respective film debuts. It stars Winona Ryder, Christian Slater, Shannen Doherty, Lisanne Falk, Kim Walker, and Penelope Milford. The film portrays four teenage girls — three of whom are named Heather — in a clique at an Ohio high school, whose lives are disrupted by the arrival of a misanthrope intent on murdering the popular students and staging their deaths as suicides.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!

I had never watched this prior and I saw this on Prime and tried to watch it 2 times and became disillusioned so went elsewhere; It seemed like it was heading into stupid humor and was going to be too shallow for my tastes. I finally went over to IMDB and read reviews there. It was really popular. A day came when I felt more like I might make it through and tried again. I am so glad I did. Thank you, Prime for adding this to stream on here. I loved it after it grabbed me somewhat later on than when I had given up prior. It is teenagers, but it is also rated R and has some things that are iffy for that age, but High School is like this so use caution. Many reviews on IMDB mentioned it was a favorite from their teenage years. Back to the main review: I love it so much I watched it twice. It is Serious Dark humor, and it seems to play out the extremes of the way teenagers and high schools with (with quite a bit of reality in some areas) could be played out dramatically. Also home lives and parenting issues. Veronica (Winona Ryder) was the stabilizing Heroine in the whole story even if she did deviate off the track for a short time wanting to be accepted in a snobby clique but still retaining her own rebellion against their stuck up mindset all the way. Her rebellion also led her to join in with some unsavory actions with another character which led her having to finally wake up and take a stand. I love it so much I watched it twice so far and may watch it again with my almost 18-year-old daughter. She has told me enough about Highschool to know she can do it.

Veio tudo certinho, pensava que iria demorar para vir, mas veio bem rápido (pedi dia 28/05 e chegou 01/06.) Enfim, amei demais!

Even though stated import from UK, clearing is N.America region and will not play on my players. I have lots of DVDs from UK which play fine. Disappointed as we were looking forward to a film night with my daughter. film is worth watching - but sadly not with this DVD

who can’t not love a cult classic like heathers? the box came in fantastic condition and so did the disc. no complaints

I got the DVD in great condition, no scratches. It’s exactly what I had hoped for. Also a great movie, I would 100% recommend the watch. The only put off is that the plastic coating of the movie case is a little wrinkled. That doesn’t effect the actual disc, so I’m not bothered, but if others like things in pristine condition then that might be a problem. I am very happy with my purchase, have watched it many times, and will continue to.

Una de las mejores comedias negras y de cine adolescente que he visto. La calidad de imagen y audio es muy buena. No incluye subtítulos en español.
