    Veronica Sawyer (Winona Ryder) has sacrificed everything in order to preserve her place in Westerburg High's most impenetrable social clique, the HEATHERS. As the only member of the group not named Heather, Veronica has to work extra hard just to stay afloat. Going against her own morals and intelligence, Veronica succumbs to peer pressure on a daily basis, faking her delight in the humiliation of the school's less popular students. Bored of the frat parties and cow tipping so popular among her friends, Veronica's curiosity is peaked when a mysterious new guy named JD comes to town.

Set in the 1980s, the film feels timeless in its relevance because of the daring nature of its themes. Filled with great performances, a candy -colored set, and an infectious soundtrack, murder has nev

I loved this movie as a kid and I am so glad to have it as part of my DVD collection. It is a classic movie. Great cast, and story. Hilarious and dark for a teen comedy. A must have!
