2001 Warner Brothers Pictures. Cast includes a bunch of the "Y&B" crowd who apparently star on hit TV series that I know nothing about, OK, so

anyway, this movie ain't all that bad - rather formulaic, in your run-of-the-mill serial killer (a la Mike Meyers), but at least this guy has a purpose: to kill just this group of girls who teased him in Jr High.

Amazingly enough, he doesn't go after the guys who taunted him in the same incident, but oh well.

Kudos to the film for daring to keep the nudity at a minimum, which was basically nothing at all. Again, a shrug.

Also, points off for the two failed attempts to distract us from the true identity of the killer, which we could practically spot from the first half-hour.

Finally, the best part of the movie is imaging if any ex-tauntresses ever walked out of the movie theatre after seeing this film, trying to comb through their memories to see if they might have ruthlessly scarred some nerd in their own Jr High pasts . . . and that, my friends, would be the greatest benefit of this film - if it would make just ONE of them stop, think, and for a moment, feel sympathetic regret.

Oh well!
