Plot:
Debbie is staring off into space for more than two minutes. We see a fire break out in the house behind her. Firefighters keep asking her if there is anyone else
in there. She doesn’t answer them and seems to be in shock.
Later, some cops are checking over the burnt house. The fire investigator isn’t sure it if was arson or accidental. A cop finds a kitchen knife in the living
room. That will be our first clue something is wrong.
Debbie is sent to live with her grandmother.
Granny is watching a fire and brimstone sermon on TV as Debbie enters. She is welcomed. The dog starts barking as foreshadowing the evil entering the
house. Debbie is shown to her room which is straight out of a convent. She then asks to go shopping for some new clothes before going to school. Granny has saved
Debbie’s mother’s clothes. And, those will be good enough.
Granny wakes Debbie before Dawn to clean the attic and the garage. Obviously, Granny believes in the Cinderella school of step-parenting. As Debbie is
cleaning the attic she finds a shotgun. As she leaves to go to school, she is to get back after school to finish the cleaning.
At the high school, the jocks grab the combination to her lock and are playing keep away. Teacher, Peter Rinaldi comes to the rescue. Janie, the pseudo
gothy-chick, is nearby, introduces herself to Debbie.
On the basketball court, Debbie sees Peter and introduces herself to him.
Rose McGowan is going to be lusting after me? Whooooo-hooooooo!!!
Todd, the basketball player, starts insulting Peter from across the court. He can’t be
very athletic from all the writing he does. We get some great biting repartee between the two. It will be Todd versus Peter on the basketball court of honor. Blonde
airhead, Meegan, has eyes for Peter like Debbie.
Todd and Peter decide on a bet. If Todd loses, he will work in class to earn an A. If Peter loses, he gives Todd an A no work required. The exciting basketball
duel for the course of a letter grade begins. Peter takes Todd to school, well more than the school ground basketball court. Peter wins right before his girlfriend
arrives to pick him up.
Debbie and Janie are going to shop.
The coroner is questioned about the victims who died in the fire. He couldn’t find any stab wounds.
After checking out some shops, they chill. Debbie swipes some clothes and a bottle of wine for themselves.
Debbie heads back home. She gets back home right after school. Granny is there and so are Debbie’s mom and her boyfriend. Both of them are par broiled
crispy critters. She awakens from the nightmare and is still with Janie. Debbie heads for Granny’s for real this time.
It is after dark, when Rose gets home. But, she is busted by Granny who is pretty upset. Debbie will obey her. Granny is going to raise Debbie better than
her harlot mother.
The next day, Debbie changes into something that is light years from frumpish and in the dimension of slutkateer. She comes in late to class but has an apple for
Peter. During class, Debbie manages to trip Meegan. Peter needs a volunteer to help him with a garage sale at his house. Debbie and Meegan both volunteer
for it.
Later, Debbie and Janie are talking. Meegan pushes Debbie down and warns her to stay away from the garage sale.
Now, I'm angry...
The cops try to talk with Debbie about the fire. Debbie gets in the house. Granny runs the cops off. Rose has started a journal about how she loves Peter.
Peter and his girlfriend, Marilyn, are at his place. Let the porking begin to show Peter is great at everything he does. She wants to go to the desert this
weekend. Peter can’t go with the garage sale. She wants him to postpone it. Peter is always working. Marilyn leaves.
Debbie heads to school. Todd follows her. Debbie tramps herself up mightily. Todd apparently thinks playing keep-away is great next to half-naked Rose
McGowan.
At school, Meegan is pushed down a flight of stairs. She then does a decent impression of Nancy Kerrigan. Janie knows Debbie did it.
The cops pay a visit to Debbie’s old school. Debbie stalked a teacher who eventually got involved with her mother.
Debbie returns home. She finds the dog has scattered her unmentionables. Granny sees the underwear and flies into a rage. She canes Debbie and forces her
to finish cleaning the attic.
That night, the dog is lured to the attic. Debbie gets the dog into a steamer trunk and tosses bug bomb in it, too.
Slutty Debbie goes over to Peter’s place. They setup for the garage sale.
Sorry, got distracted...
People including Janie start coming by.
Granny is searching through the house looking for her dog. She accidentally discovers Debbie’s journal.
Peter and Debbie clean up after the sale. While in the house, Debbie hears Marilyn leave a message and deletes it. She starts roaming about the house and
sniffing his clothes. Peter drops her at her house and drives off. Granny is watching Debbie get out of the car.
Debbie heads to her room, finding Granny there. Granny is going to call the school to get Peter fired. The police will put her in a reform school.
Psycho Debbie grabs the cane and beats Granny to death.
The steamer trunk from the attic contains donations for a mission trip to South America. I’ll give you one guess why it is so heavy.
Debbie begins unspiritualizing the house: burning the crosses, Bibles, etc…
Peter heads home after a game of basketball. He finds candles lit on the table, assuming it is Marilyn. He hears the shower, ready to join her. Guess who’s in
the shower?
Hey, sailor fancing meeting you here...
Peter will discuss things with her when she’s not wet and naked. Marilyn calls. Debbie is still hot for teacher. Peter keeps trying to get “There is no
us” across to her. Debbie leaves.
At class, Peter is lecturing when another teacher brings in flowers for him. The bald teacher knows who the flowers are from, he read the card. Mr. Baldy
thinks Peter is boffing Debbie. How these teachers manage to discuss this in a hallway in earshot of Janie is a mystery.
Debbie has Peter’s answering machine code. She checks his messages from Marilyn. Debbie calls and leaves a message for Marilyn.
The cops talk with the social worker who knows Debbie.
Todd is dropped off across the street from where Debbie lives.
Debbie is writing in her journal when Todd comes over for a visit. He starts hitting on her. He knows she and Peter have been dangling participles. Todd will
have to report this to the principal unless Debbie demonstrates her conjugation on him. They go to the attic. Todd is all touchy-feely. Debbie changes her mind
about letting him use his gerund. Todd gets the immortal nad shot. Debbie grabs a ski pole that Todd accidentally impales.
Debbie is digging a hole in the backyard to bury Todd. She has him wearing a lovely blue dress.
Marilyn and Peter are practicing their conjugation. Suddenly, it is Debbie instead. Peter awakens from the dream.
The principal wants to talk with Peter. Mr. Baldy didn’t tell her about the boffing incident. She wanted to know about the basketball game, gambling for
grades.
Anna, the social worker who the cops talked with, pays a visit to check on Debbie and her grandmother. In the backyard is a recently filled in hole. Debbie
learns her mother was abused. Anna sees some bruises on Debbie’s arm thinking she is abused, too. She’ll take her away from the house and mentions the
cops. Debbie clocks her upside the head with a tea kettle. Debbie has to stay, has a date.
Peter arrives at the restaurant at 7:30 and is taken to the table. Debbie is sitting there waiting for him. Peter has a deer in the headlights look. A couple of
guys have been hitting on Debbie. Peter tries getting her to leave. He gets into a fight with these guys.
Later, Marilyn finds Peter at the police station. He hasn’t figured how disturbed Debbie is yet. They drive to his place where Debbie is waiting.
Peter gets the tasted knocked out of his mouth for not loving Debbie.
Later, Debbie is crying thinking Peter used her. Well the tears stop when the bloodlust arises.
Finally, the coroner thinks the burn victims were stabbed. The cops pay a visit to the Debbie’s current principal. Peter burst into the meeting. No one finds Debbie. She is
obsessed with Peter. We learn her father was killed by her mother. And, Debbie was abused, too. Debbie calls Peter. The cops and Peter rush to the house.
A cop is shot in the leg by the shotgun toting Debbie. Through a door, Peter tries convincing her to surrender to the police. A single shot is fired. Peter rushed in sees Debbie’s
body and a blood spatter on the wall.
That night, Marilyn heads home. Peter is driving around. Eventually, Peter realizes the body he saw wasn’t Debbie’s. It had a tattoo around the wrist like Janie.
Marilyn is all alone in the house when the power is cut. Debbie and Marilyn fight.
Peter speeds back to his house, picking up a cop after him. Unfortunately, the cop wipes out on his bike.
