 |  Dead Kids aka: Strange Behavior - 1983DVD UPC # 790594234225; 081227149734; 081227402532; 081227198831; 5050606310459; 654930307397 South Street Films/Endeavour Productions - 100 min. Cast: Michael Murphy, Louise Fletcher, Dan Shor, Fiona Lewis, Scott Brady, Charles Lane, Dey Young. Screenplay: Michael Laughlin, Bill Condon; Photography: Louis Horvath; Music: Tangerine Dream; Producers: John Barnett, Antony Ginnane; Director: Michael Laughlin. In a small American mid-west town, a police chief and his son get caught up in a nasty experiment that programmes teen-agers into killers. Remuera is standing in as the "small American mid-west town", and Avondale College as the "friendly Galesburg College". You will probably spot One Tree Hill, when it still had a tree. Not a great film - either scriptwise or technically, but worth a watch for those who enjoy the genre. This US/NZ co-production was the first NZ "thriller" feature film. Censor Rating: R 16 - Review Rating: C+ |
