Virgin Suicides Reviews

One word for this movie...WOW! I didn't expect much out of it...the description on the back of the movie box just doesn't do it any justice...by the end of this movie, my jaw was just dropped to the floor...i watched it over and over again...I almost didnt return it to the video store...LOL. This is a very twisted movie that definitely keeps you on the edge of your seat. only two small complaints about this movie...one is that i thought josh would be in more of the movie...he was only in less than half of it...also...i didnt like the way that it was sort of "narrated" by the boys. but those two small things didnt bother me much...the movie is great.

The virgin suicides was a pretty amazing film. Despite the fact that it was slightly disturbing, it managed to be a very good 'teen' horror film.
It's the story of five teenage sisters who are forced into an almost recluse-like environment by their strict mother. However, as the 14-year-old named lux (Kirsten Dunst) matures, she becomes very interested in boys.
This need for social communication is only amplified when her sister, Celia, attempts suicide. A chain of events follow as Celia succeeds and lux convinces the parents to let her go to the prom with school heartthrob, Trip Fontaine (josh hartnett in one of his better roles).
All in all, the virgin suicides is a very good film, definitely worth seeing.
