Dead Kids aka Strange Behaviour is one of the more memorable horror slasher movies of the early eighties. Arthur Dignam of The Dreaming fame is wonderfully creepy and is the best thing about the movie, not to mention the always wonderful Louise Fletcher.
The rest of the cast are good and the music by Tangerine Dream is as always awesome.
Kids are suddenly becoming killers due to shady experiments being done by a lab that is run by an even shadier scientist.
I have to say, many of the scenes hold up even today. The scene where Pete is strapped to a chair having a huge needle injected into his eye and also where he is in a bathroom stall urinating blood. Also the scene with the young boy having his hands sawn off in the bathroom is still a horrifying one.
This is a movie that still shocks and entertains and has a very satisfying ending. The movie was filmed in New Zealand even though it is considered an Ozploitation movie.
This is one that should be watched by all lovers of the horror and slasher genre.
