If you didn't get enough giggles out of Carrie 2: The Rage , here's the ticket. Welcome to high school, Kansas style, where the seniors are well into their 20s, busting Buffy moves and generally playing naughty. Writer-director Steve Balderson unspools a plot around villainous Cherry (Brooke Balderson, hmm...), a wanna-be prom queen who expresses her little temper problem by murdering the girls who were actually nominated -- in broad daylight, with witnesses, no less. There's also a detour involving predatory principal Anderson (Eric Sherman), who's abducted and dispatched by the otherwise good girls Julie (Summer Makovkin) and Beth (Jennifer Dreiling), lending the project the air of a Blood Simple remake helmed by John Hughes. The movie's scattershot approach creates all the dramatic tension of a hayride, but the ghastliness of American teenhood is delivered with the blackest comic aplomb since Heathers, plus cinematographer Rhet W. Bear creates some crackling cornbelt art, and Concrete Blonde songstress Johnette Napolitano turns in a suitably edgy score. Like its classic Kansas cousin Carnival of Souls , the movie shows that you can capture some of the horror of the Midwest just by turning on a camera. - Gregory Weinkauf, New Times LA
