Nominated for the Killer B Best Supporting Actress in PEP SQUAD


AMY KELLY'S 'TERRA' IS "A GIFT THAT OTHERS SHOULD STUDY!" - Rusty White

from Andrew Shearer, Gonzoriffic.
Despite how politically incorrect it may be, I enjoy black comedies about high school students killing each other. You don't see many movies like these and we all know why. But the fact remains we all have fucked up memories of high school, and we know how crazy a place it is. So along comes PEP SQUAD, a really cool movie that's both funny and extremely well made. I could definitely see it becoming a cult classic, it is that good. The situations are very absurd, the humor is dark yet slapstick, and the comic timing is near perfect due to some clever editing and some very energetic performances. In particular, Amy Kelly was astounding as Terra, the snitching weasel who is cunning but is also clumsy and annoying. She packs a lot into her role, and steals almost every scene. She's great at comedy, and isn't built like your usual actor. Bless the filmmakers for showing off her body even though she's not the typical anorexic silicone-injected wannabe starlet. This movie kicks more ass than you'd expect, moves fast, and has a great visual style that is rare for a low-budget production.
