Maybe with a better Director and script bad kids could’ve been something fun but as it is it’s a small budget B-movie all the way. The acting is pretty bad, the special effects or horrible, the story is ridiculous, and worst of all the movies just isn’t much fun. The kills are over-the-top. May be fans of the graphic novel will like it but non fans won’t find much here to enjoy.

It was entertaining, it just didn't make any sense. Case in point, the picture at the top of this review, never actually happens in the movie

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

effective slasher that improves on the zaniness of the original. Some nice dark humor helps break up the violence.

What a mess... At least it had some attractive actors, otherwise I probably would have stared at my phone the whole time

Honestly, this wasn't what I was expecting. It was better than I had first anticipated, and was quite entertaining in it's own way... the young kids in the film definitely made some of the scenes memorable. But basically I gave it a glance because Ben Browder was involved with this project.

"It's time to break stereotypes, not reinforce them!" Headmaster Nash says at one point. Alas, not in this movie.

Why does this movie exist and how does it succeed in failing on every level?

ScreenAnarchy

In the end, Bad Kids of Crestview Academy squanders its mystery on telling a joke it has told several times already, and all tension leaves the film, making it hard to care for the remaining survivors.

Wicked Horror

Bad Kids Of Crestview Academy is bright, obnoxious, over the top and super silly but it's far from the worst way to spend a couple of hours.

Rated: 5/10

Andrew Marshall

Starburst

Bad Kids of Crestview Academy is certainly a film aware of how inherently daft it is, but it's nowhere near good enough to praise, nor does it reach the levels of endearingly bad in the way a legion of cult movies have remained popular.

Rated: 4/10

Cinemalogue

Amid all the gory visual gimmicks, it's impossible to sympathize with any of these spoiled brats or their attempts to survive the carnage.
