Rating:  - Great film, horrible quality print
The Violent Years
Yes, this is a camp classic with wonderfully absurd scenarios, fabulous fifties outfits, dated homilies, ridiculous dialogue and plenty of sex and rock 'n roll. The film is so bad it's laughable and the situations are totally unbelievable. But for those of you planning on buying the DVD, cave canem!

Written by the great Ed Wood, Jr. THE VIOLENT YEARS would have been much better if it was also directed by him instead of William Morgan who's closet claim ... Read More
Rating: - Good message, wrong audience
You know, I think The Violent Years is actually a pretty decent film, despite its over handed commentary on the whole juvenile delinquency craze that swept through Hollywood in the 1950s. It's hard to believe, but filmmakers actually used to make films with messages, exhorting viewers to straighten up and fly right - or else, this could happen to you: kids with no respect for anyone, committing crimes just for the kicks, man, etc. Of course, the effectiveness of such movies can be called into question ...
