Review of Heathers

Heathers (2018)
1/10
This show should not have been created.
3 November 2018
Anybody who has seen the original movie knows just from the stills shown here that this tv show is a blatant mockery of the theme of the original screenplay. The original Heathers movie highlights and elaborates on the extreme harshness of children and cliques in high school. the 3 heathers and veronica ARE the most popular kids in school. none of them are outcasts. and it focuses on the fact that Veronica loses her mind and cannot handle the pressures of being the popular kid anymore and plots vicious murders under the guiding hand of a blatant psychopath. This tv show completely misses the point of the movie. The movie elaborates the uninclusivness, and basically mocks it. Making the three heathers fat and queer completely undermines the notion set forward and mocked in the original that people like that cannot be popular. If they wanted to make a tv show that is all inclusive, they should have come up with their own idea. They should NOT have taken the premise of a classic film and completely flipped it to the point where the main point, which the original movie hits spot on, is not even touched. I am shocked that they were even allowed to use the premise of heathers for this TV show. some things are best left alone.
