The New Kids, a startling, non-stop ticket to terror from director Sean S. Cunningham. A key entry in the 1980s wave of juvenile delinquency movies, the New Kids features early performances from Lori Loughlin and James Spader in a particularly memorable role. After their parents die in a car crash, two all-American teens, Loren (Shannon Presby) and Abby (Lori Loughlin) go to live with relatives in a small Florida town. But trouble begins when members of a vicious gang, led by Dutra (James Spader), bet on who'll be the first to seduce the innocent Abby. When she spurns their obscene advances, the thugs embark on a sadistic campaign of vandalism, arson, and assault. The savagery escalates until Loren must defend himself and his sister in a brutal fight to the death in a carnival midway. It's The New Kids... trying to make it in this town just might kill them!
