Back to School: Deadly Eyes

We wrote this up for our eco horror theme a few years ago (check out that post here), and although it's not really a movie about school, it's got one particular school element that stands out.

Breaks into his house so he'll discover her like this.
Dudes LOVE when you break into their homes... right?

One of this killer-rat movie's main characters is a teacher who's being pursued by one of his (very young) students. She's pretty relentless in her efforts to get him to date her but, he doesn't ever consider that as a possibility. And he doesn't just shut her down and move on with his dog-sized rat fighting day; he shuts her down and pursues a woman his own age. His reactions are so out of the ordinary, especially for that time period, that it's one of the few elements I can recall about this flick. (I mean, aside from the TERRIFYING effect of dachshunds wearing rat costumes.)

I don't know who was responsible for those decisions in this film, but I would LOVE to thank them in person. It's not everyday you get to see men behaving appropriately when it comes to minors (on screen or otherwise) but when I do see it in film, it makes an impression. Makes you wonder what kinds of impressions are being imprinted when the opposite is portrayed... *

But is this dude actually deserving of all that lady attention? Not particularly... but it's Canada, eh?

*JK, we totally know.
