 Rated 7/10
Mean Girls for goths.

In fact, take away the light, bubbly, witty satire of Mean Girls, and instead, go angsty, a whole lot darker, and disturbed, and you essentially have the same story...

New girl at school falls in with three friends in their own clique, in who's company she at first finds comradeship, before they become the enemy, from who's company she must seek to extricate herself, for the sake of self preservation.

Indeed, the more I think of it, the more remarkably similar the story seems!

(Surely Tina Fey and Co. were merely "Inspired" by this?)

And aside from the witchy business, replacing the mall-Barbie aesthetic, and better clothes in place of the festival of valley girl chic, there is not much here to choose between them.

(If, indeed, you see a difference in the first place :)

But this film also oozes nineties feel movie too, in how it looks, acts and moves.

A well chosen soundtrack of passable covers of well known classic songs (Some surprisingly good choices too!)

Slotted nicely into the kind of vibe of the time that gave us movies like The Faculty, and the Almost-Eventually-Final Destination- franchise.... thing.

Having not seen it in a good few years, I wondered how well it would hold up, and pleased to say it fairs quite well, albeit the darker elements / themes of the story seem more prominent now to me (perhaps, more relevant than ever?), and it is a very enjoyable movie.

Would good for fans of Mean Girls, goths, and also fans of nineties movies in general.

 Yeah, this was good - sort of like Charmed for adults. Good soundtrack CD, too! :happy:
