The Story:

Veronica hangs around in school with the Heathers. Together they're playing really bad tricks on their schoolmates. Veronica does what the Heathers told her to do but she doesn't like them: Neither the Heathers nor the tricks...

She teamed up with school newbie Jason and together they begin to kill the poeple at school they don't like and cover their crimes as suicides...

But as Jason plans to blew the whole gym during a basketball game, Veronica begins to fight him...

My Opinion:

What sounds hard is the father (and mother) of all teenie comedy movies...

Dark comedy at it's very best. You only have to excuse the costumes...but we're still in the 80's...(-;

Alternate Ending:

Originally it was planned to have a slightly different ending... Excerpt 1 – Excerpt 2



Veronica's Diary:

„ Real life sucks loosers dry... “

„I must stop Heather.“

„My teen-angst bullshit has a body-count...“

“Heather told everyone about Heather...“


„No one can stop J.D.“

Quotes:

Noni was offered 9000 light comedy feelgood hits of the summer movies, and she chose one where she kills all her friends. Winona is a pure-at-heart person who knows that the darkness is all around her. She brings to light that there is truth and love even in the darkest impulses. She'll call me up and say "I wrote another script" like "I did another load of laundry“
Robert Downey, Jr. about Noni

To me Veronica was a sort of Humphrey Bogart role, a part for a forty-eight-year-old man. But it's taking place in high-school, and lines like "Fuck me gently with a chainsaw", coming out of a sixteen year old mouth, that was really a strange thing.
Winona about Veronica

Now when I'm faced with any sort of decision, I think, what would Veronica do? And it's kind of screwing me up because the answers are usually to do with killing somebody.
Winona about Veronica

She can play the unsympathetic or ambivalent part, and the audiences hang with her. I tease her that she's like a witch. Her instincts are so good , it's almost creepy. From her first film to her last, you look at her and say: "There's a real movie star".
Denise DiNovi

She's a wild woman to work with.
Christian Slater
