Twenty-five year old teenager James Marsden's family moves to the beautiful
town of Cradle Bay, Washington. At first, things seem perfect. His
house is awesome, he has a new nerd friend (Nick Stahl), the school janitor
reads Kurt Vonnegut and Katie Holmes is givin' him the stinkeye...but then he
finds out about the Blue Ribbons. The Blue Ribbons are the cool clique
of preppy kids that are part of a "special program" lead by a local
doctor. Soon, James begins to notice that the Blue Ribbons are pretty
goddamn creepy in a "Invasion of the Body Snatchers"-kind of way and they seem
to be above the law. Violently assault multiple people in a grocery
store? No big deal. Murder a fellow student and a local cop?
Go on home, we'll clean this mess up.
I love high school horror films and although DISTURBING BEHAVIOR is low on the
horror element, it's still a fun ride. Even if just for the high school
scenes and the 90's-as-fook student body. Good pace, an absolutely
legendary drive-by scene that left me in stitches, Katie Holmes looking
cute as fook, silly dialogue, a Garbage poster, that one girl from GINGER
SNAPS, 90's soundtrack (including that song by The Flys), very little
violence,
superfast half topless scene, goofy ending.
Recommended for fans of cheesy 90's high school horror. Would make an
okay double-feature with
THE FACULTY.
