Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice

The Three Heathers and Veronica Sawyer (Winona Ryder) are the top of the clique hierarchy. Veronica, is bright, attractive, caring and knows she has sold her soul for popularity and begins to not only dislike, but despise her friends. ...read the complete Heathers movie review at Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice

Never before has murder been so much fun than at the hands of Winona Ryder and Christian Slater, perfectly cast as foils for one another in one of the blackest comedies on film. ...read the complete Heathers movie review at filmcritic.com (Christopher Null)

Boxoffice Magazine

The much-maligned original DVD of "Heathers" has been pulled and a fine remastered re-release has been issued to replace it. Kudos to Anchor Bay for a job well done on one of the most seminal cult films of the '80s. In a sense, "Heathers" was the...read the complete Heathers (1989) review at Boxoffice Magazine
