Heathers is a deliciously dark comedy released just before the dawn of the '90s and features some terrifically entertaining up-to-no-good teens. Set in an Ohio High School, the film follows the titular "leaders" of the school, a group of pretty girls who snub their noses and make fun of those who aren't up to their high standards. For lack of a better word, these gals are bitches, but they're not the most extreme part of the film. Alas, it's Winona Ryder's character, a member of the Heathers who develops a bit of a conscience and sympathy for the group's victims, who is the real mischievous teen of the flick. Under the influence of her even-more malicious boyfriend, she takes things further than the Heathers ever did. The movie is essentially an avenge/revenge flick with a twist, and it's not your fault that you get so much pleasure from watching the avenging couple go a step too far. Is it?
