That is unless you're getting a quarter each time that someone screeches Clint Howard's character's name. But the drinking game, just don't, although a few glasses of wine (red, of course) might help in getting through this disgusting "Carrie" rip-off.
Strange computer (DOS era) effects and late 60's style music (done to a Gregorian chant) that sounds like the opening credits from the movie version of "Sweet Charity" adds to the repulsive nature of this badly written, unfunny and offensive view of teen revenge, seen coming from the much bullied Howard who doesn't have the charm here to be sweetly nerdy. Certainly, most of the staff and students at this military academy are genuinely repulsive, and there is the urge to see them get what they deserve. But then there's sweet Heywood Nelson of "What's Happening" as Howard's one defender, basically a carbon copy of Amy Irving's "Carrie" character, sadly completely wasted.
There's gratuitous nudity with the presence of the sadistic secretary who gets a quick comeuppance for stealing the satanistic book that Howard found and dropped accidentally, seemingly entranced stupidly by the colorful pentagram on the cover. This is of course followed by nearly 20 minutes of non-stop gore, mostly with hideously laughable special effects. Everytime a head flies off a neck, I surpressed the urge to go "wee!", although I did that in the opening prologue setting up the satanic existence of the book brought over from Spain. It's also appropriate that the sounds right before the credits rolled seemed to be gas being passed. There are so many inconsequential moments in this film that it could have easily been cut by 20 minutes minus the pep rally and the secretary bathing. I'm sure the carnivorous hogs had better taste than what they were forced to eat here, the epitome of a tomaine addled brain able to come up with such muck.
