The Violent Years

I shot a copSO WHAT! So say the girl gang thrill-killers of THE VIOLENT YEARS! Written by legendary Hollywood outsider Edward D. Wood, Jr. (PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE, GLEN OR GLENDA), this is the delirious story of Paula Parkinsa good-girl-gone-bad who leads her degenerate teenage hellcats down a path of gas station hijackings, pajama party orgies, and cold-blooded murder. From Woods patently deranged dialogue to the scene where the gang performs a man attack, THE VIOLENT YEARS is an essential expos on crime, gender politics, and sweater-stealing. Remember: This is a story of violence!
