"If you know me, you know that I will endorse anything related to this radical teen martyr, whom I consider the original riot grrrl. Dreyer’s take is a beautifully stark and visceral portrait of her final days."

The cast is solid, and the performances are good (0 more)
This premise is a bit dated, it feels like a 90's film at times (0 more)
This film doesn't know WITCH film it wants to be...
Pyewacket is a witchy teen angst film, that feels a bit like it wanted to be Ginger Snaps for witches, following the life of a teen girl whose father has recently died, and whose mother is not dealing well with the new reality.

Against her protestations, her mother moves them to a house in the woods, and away from her school and friends and after a heated exchange, the daughter decides to perform a dark ritual in the woods.

The crux of the film is that she later regrets the decision and is haunted by ghostly presences in the house that she suspects are the result of her ritual.

The whole film feels out of time, as if it were a late 90's early 2000's teen horror, with the majority of time spent exploring teen angst and cringey cliched subculture banter, rather than really tyring to ramp up any tension or scare the viewer.

At no point is a bad film, but it is trying to walk the line between genuine horror and that sort of 'The Craft' style teen culture movie, and it just doesnt seem to really nail either.

Its not bad, its not great, its just ok.

A wonderful Disney movie that used the voice of a 90'S teen heartthrob, JTT. Classic movie that produced sequels that are just as good. Not to mention catchy songs that you cannot help but sing along with.

A brutal look at American society and how teen deaths have become normalised
This is an incredible collection of accounts in which ten African America children and young adults were killed in one day. It's brutal and horrifically depressing, showing the day they led before their deaths. It highlights the prevalence of poverty and violence that seems to be a vicious cycle. And even more, it shows how mainstream teen deaths have become which is why it is no longer reported. It is a disturbing read so have the tissues at the ready.

Every teen should have this
Kids learning about sex is good. It's proven that those who do are more likely to be in healthy relationships, lose their virginity later and have less sexual partners.

I bought this for my son for him to learn at his own pace, it has everything a modern teen may want to know about as well as teaching the importance of positive relationships. If I was in government I'd make sure this got in the hands of every secondary school pupil.

Brilliant book presented in a fun and interesting way.

Some memorable moments
Cult classic
It's very funny at times and quite true about all the different cliques that exist in high school, college, uni. One of the best teen comedies to do with surviving high school!
