The New Kids 1985
aka TONAL SHIFTS: The Movie
This honestly might be some kind of forgotten trash classic, an 80's teen version of Straw Dogs/Deliverance from the director of Friday The 13th.
You know you're in for a good time when the opening credits are set to a Tom Atkins power training montage. Also, James Spader's powerhouse performance is worthy of a place in the EVIL DICKHEAD BAD GUY hall of fame.
I loved how this film imparts a great moral message to kids, that the only way to deal with bullies is to sadistically murder them in a fairground.
