Terrifying Girls' High School: Lynch Law Classroom is slightly messy and at times doesn't make any sense at all; but all this is made up for with a constant stream of action, nudity and torture scenes - and while this is not the best that Pinky Violence genre has to offer, director Norifumi Suzuki (who also has the likes of School of the Holy Beast and Sex and Fury to his credit) has united two of the genre's biggest stars in Reiko Ike and Miki Sugimoto and created a very entertaining - and violent - genre entry. The film focuses on the 'School of Hope' - a school for female juvenile delinquents. In order to deal with the more unruly pupils, the school authorities have set up a 'discipline squad', consisting of some of the most ruthless girls at the school. The latest crop of new recruits to the school is none too happy with the way things are being ran; especially since the girl killed at the start of the film was the right hand of one of the new girls. Plans are soon set into place to bring down the entire school...
The pace of the film is really fast - which while ensuring constant entertainment, also means that the film has a tendency to go off the rails with too many plot threads. Indeed, the final third of the film is rather disappointing compared to the first two because of this. The film is rather perverse; even more so than the majority of other Pinky Violence films and the director makes full use of the fact that the film features a bunch of schoolgirls. There's plenty of interaction between the girls and the torture scenes also have a rather perverse edge to them. Miki Sugimoto is the biggest name to have a lead role in the film; while the other star, Reiko Ike, doesn't appear for too long; which is a bit of a shame. The film becomes more and more manic as it moves along; and this all culminates in a riot at the end; which provides a fitting climax to the film. This film was released as a part of a Pinky Violence box set in the USA; but it's actually one of four 'Terrifying Girls' High School' films...so here's to hoping some DVD company releases the rest of the series in the near future.
