Striking Back

From Sean Cunningham, director of the frightening hit film Friday The 13th, comes this story of terror in a small town setting. Glenby sounds a kindly sort of place to grow up in. And so it is, until the new kids arrive at the local high school. Loren and Abby are brother and sister who come from out of town. Dutra is the leader of the school pack, a psychotic who sees them as a challenge to his own leadership. Innocent schoolhouse jokes on the newcomers quickly develop into outright bullying - and then escalate into a vicious witch hunt that reaches a horrific climax in a Funland that's anything but fun. Shot in a real small town aptly named Homestead, Florida, this film shows how violence and mindless hatred can breed even in the most unlikely and seemingly peaceful communities.
