I first watched this movie when I was in 7th grade (probably too young but I undoubtedly fell in love with it) and I have been a fan ever since. The story, the characters, the look, the sound, they all add to the overall feel of the film and make it a great example of American satire. The dialogue is witty, the characters smart, and the plot line solid.I already owned a copy of "Heathers" when this edition was released so I hesitated to buy it, but I ultimately caved in and got it.And boy was I happy I did so.First off, the locker is a fantastic idea for a rerelease of this movie. So many movies don't even try to capture the essence of the film in their rerelease packaging but I really think the marketing & design departments went over and beyond for this one.Included in the locker were two DVDs and a Blu Ray. The film itself is same old same old but the special features disc includes two documentaries and a few other extras. I don't own a Blu Ray player as of yet so I haven't been able to watch the Blu Ray version but I'm sure the quality is amazing.The discs were inside of a shockingly realistic yearbook from 1988, profiling the trends and such from that year. Also included was a fake Algebra II book that held a t shirt inside. The t shirt is quite large, but I'm sure it'll shrink a little after being washed.The magnets are fantastic! I put them on my fridge so every time I get something to drink I can laugh a little.All in all, this is the perfect box set for such an iconic film. Every element captures the essence of the film; there's no random items the production company just threw in. This is a set for the mega fans, like myself, that want a blue locker so sit on their bookshelf.

Heathers is a fantastic movie full of wit, wryness, and sarcasm, and yes, twisted humor. The snobby clique (all girls named "Heather", with the exception of not-so-snobby Veronica, played by Winona Ryder) present an exaggerated look at an alpha-female high school group. If you've been a high school girl at any point in time, they're not as over-the-top as it seems. You have Christian Slater playing the bad-ass J.D. in this movie, complete with motorcycle. J.D. convinces Veronica to play pranks on the snobby kids, yet one by one, the pranks end in those kids' deaths and J.D. using Veronica's abilities to forge her friends' handwriting to cover the deaths up as suicides, complete with manufactured suicide notes.***SPOLIERS AHEAD***The movie premise is unrealistic on so many levels. Honestly, would the first Heather really drink Drano out of a cup on a dare? I mean, after the first sip, surely she'd spit it out rather than down the whole thing? After that death, would Veronica really go along with J.D.'s plan to set-up the football jocks in the woods? Her character is a smart girl, and yet she's made to look "dumb and in love" as she follows J.D.'s schemes without questioning his motives or intentions? And what's up with J.D.'s dad in this movie? What a weird character to randomly throw in as an attempt to explain why J.D. is so messed up.But all in all, it's a great film, I love the sarcastic one-liners, the dry humor, the fact that Winona Ryder and Christian Slater look fantastic in this movie... I love that they play strip croquet, and all the 80's fashion is even more fun to watch now that that decade has passed (Swatch watches! Jackets with padded shoulders! Odd color combos!)Definitely a good movie to add to your collection, but only if you don't take yourself too seriously and have a good appreciation for dark humor.

I ordered the Heathers- Limited Edition Box Set and it arrived within 5 business days. I am all and all happy with the purchase, except it was not made entirely clear that the DVD with the actual movie on it was Blu-Ray. I do not own a Blu-Ray player, therefore I had to order a new Heathers disc to have it on DVD. I absolutely love it otherwise. I'm going to assume everyone who is ordering this knows the plot of the movie, so I will just list what it included. It is a small teal locker, the locker number is the number of it made. For example, if your locker number is 1, then that was the first locker made. It includes 14 magnets, including pictures of Veronica, JD, and things like Hull Clean and a Croquet mallet(red, of course. I'm always red). It includes a Westerberg High School "year book". This has the DVD's inside, 2 Bonus Feature DVDs (including Audio Commentary, English Subtitles for the Hearing Impaired, Featurette: Return to Westerberg High, Featurette: Swatch Dogs and Diet Coke Heads, Original Ending screenplay, and the Theatrical Tailor), a 20 page year book including pictures, and things like information on the actors. Then the Blu-Ray disc. The whole thing is decorated with people's yearbook signatures to Veronica(ex. Hey! Science class was tons of fun. I'm going to miss U sooo much. Call me! ~Stay kool~ Betty"). Next in the locker is the Algebra 2 book, there is not much to it other than it includes one of 3 T-Shirts(comes in a Large, either a Big Fun, "Greetings and Salutations", or "What's your damage?" shirt is included). I hope you all found this helpful!
