Persecuted working class misfit hillbilly Jennifer Baylor (a fine and sympathetic performance by stunning redhead Lisa Pelikan) uses her special psychic power over snakes to exact a harsh revenge on her more affluent cruel and snobby tormentors at the prestigious Green View School for Girls. Director Brice Mack relates the engrossing story at a steady pace, grounds the fantastic premise in a believable everyday reality, and puts a welcome and refreshing emphasis on creepy mood and well-drawn characters over cheap scares and graphic gore. Kay Cousin Johnson's astute script neatly captures the fierce delineation separating the haves from the have nots at the elite academy, with plenty of especially stinging social commentary on how the rich use their wealth and status to engage in all kinds of gross and amoral behavior without worrying about the potentially toxic repercussions of said foul conduct. The excellent cast of reliable character players rates as another significant asset: Jeff Corey as Jennifer's kooky religious fanatic dad Luke, Bert Convy as nice guy professor Jeff Reed, Nina Foch as haughty head mistress Mrs. Calley, and John Gavin as the corrupt Senator Tremayne. Moreover, Amy Johnston delivers a splendidly bitchy and chilling portrayal of mean, spoiled, and manipulative psychopathic ringleader Sandra Tremayne, Louise Haven contributes a heartbreaking turn as awkward fat girl Jane Delano, Ray Underwood cuts a suitably hateful figure as evil jock Dayton Powell, and Wesley Eure does well as hip dude Pit Lassiter. Irv Goodnoff's bright cinematography gives this picture an attractive sparkling look. The central plot enjoyably exploits both "Carrie" and the hugely popular revolt-of-nature theme that was a big hot trend in 70's horror fare. A cool little fright flick.

It's Carrie!! With snakes!! Only it's complete s**t!! Yes folks, forget about school dances and buckets of pigs blood... here you have rubber vipers and hammy acting ahoy. EVERYONE is a stereotype with annoying put-on accents and awkward dialogue, while the so-called 'scary' scenes feel like something out of a bad spoof. The unfathomable truth that this was supposed to be a horror will go down as one of the great mysteries in life.Even the twee opening song is 50 Shades Of Crap. Try listening to it without your ears imploding. Does it do anything right? Well, it has an ending. That's something... right? RIGHT? 2/10

Jennifer is a poor and hard-working student and she possesses a power over snakes,an ability to control them and communicate with them.Her father Luke is a mentally unstable religious nut.The worst of all some wealthy students led by cruel Sandra constantly harass Jennifer at school.Sandra turns many other students and teachers against Jennifer including the school's headmistress.Eventually Jennifer gets revenge on her cruel classmates with the help of her snakes.Vastly enjoyable and fun to watch "Carrie" clone with likable main character.There is no gore,but if you like your horror cheesy and entertaining you can't go wrong with "Jennifer".I'd love to have a date with such a pretty girl.7 out of 10.

This Is one belter, of a film. I have just watched this video. I thought that Sandra Trmayne, was a rich spoilt brat, who thought she ruled the school. And her Principal was bribed by huge cheques for $1,00000 to keep her there. Then Jennifer came along, Just a red headed brunette Girl, of a poor background, Who I thought was very pretty! and down to earth. her father encouraged her to use the power from the night! Sandra was not happy, unless the other girls obeyed her,I would of said "Just who do you think you are??" You are not in charge!One quote in this film holds true, beware the mask of beauty, Do Not trust Anyone! I did not like the way Sandra treat Jane, just because she did not do as she was told. After one prank too many, Jennifer then asked for the power and strength to be given to her, She put her hands into a box of deadly snakes, and when Sandra and the team kidnapped her that night in the boot of the car, I recognised the music used it was Toccata Also Sandra was not paying any attention to her teacher, she was sex obsessed all the time, this I would of found totally unacceptable. While Jenny was becoming a nice Girl and very bright! despite being poor. I liked the little kitten, but it met a sad demise, I know that Jenny did not do it. I am going to rate this film very high 10/10 I have had this video laying under my bed for ages. I am glad I dug it out, as there was nothing on telly.
