I had no idea this movie existed until I saw a picture of the poster for it. The fantastic tagline of "High School Honor Student by Day. Hollywood Hooker by Night." The poster projects exactly what kind of movie this is.
It's a bit of a disappointment, but only a little bit. The movie runs a little slowly. There's a lot of time spent developing the supporting cast, which is kind of nice, but it slows things down. The villain isn't well defined. We get so little about exactly what he does, and we don't have a sense of the ritual element to his murders. These things would help make him seem like less of a nebulous evil force.
Even with this kind of trashy premise, it's got some genuinely nice scenes. When the school finds out what she does, we actually feel bad for her. We get plenty of background to establish why she's a prostitute, which I guess was kind of needed.
There isn't much else that can be said about this movie that the poster doesn't already communicate. It was followed by three sequels, which seems amazing.
