TheBlueHairedLawyer What's with this little movie's lousy ratings? I honestly loved it, although I was expecting a slasher movie and this turned out to be a small-town mystery, it didn't disappoint at all! Melissa is fifteen (going on sixteen soon), and has just moved to a rural Texas town, desperate to meet new friends. She unfortunately meets some older guys who are kind of pervy, and witnesses first-hand the horrible racism the town aims towards the Native American community, mainly Greyfeather and Jason, a father and son who are both concerned about Melissa hanging around with bad company and advise her to go home. Nevertheless she gets a drive from the guys and things get weird, until her strict dad breaks up the party.The next day Melissa finds out that one of the gang was murdered... and it isn't long before the curious teens at her new high school start pointing the finger at her.One thing I have to say is, whether the movie had been good or bad, I love the soundtrack! The haunting intro theme is the kind of nostalgic music you just don't hear in movies anymore. Where I live the first nations community is still treated with prejudice sometimes, so it was great seeing a movie that didn't make Greyfeather and Jason out to be "savages" or "animals" as some movies do. The acting was excellent, the scenery was amazing, the plot was original and I absolutely loved it.Contrary to what other reviewers suggest, I highly recommend Sweet Sixteen. Just don't watch it expecting some Friday the 13th copycat because although it is labeled as such, it's more a mystery than a slasher. Just watch it with an open mind, you might find yourself very surprised.

merklekranz A dynamite cast gives this minor thriller some real class. The story progresses in a logical manner as sheriff Bo Hopkins tries to figure out some very perplexing stabbing murders. Don Stroud plays the town heavy and Indian hater. Several "red herrings" are floated by the audience, any one of which would have proved more logical than the "out of thin air" ending. The ad lib conclusion is ridiculous and not believable. "Code Red" has done a good job quality wise with the DVD. Having an interview with Bo Hopkins on the extra features is another plus. I just wish someone had ditched that awful, confusing, and unsatisfying ending. - MERK

movieman_kev Melissa's sixteenth birthday is right around the corner and she's just discovering her sexuality with boys. But it turns out that all the guys that she spends time with all wind up murdered in this generic '80's slasher film. It's up to the local town sheriff Dan Burke (Bo Hopkins, The Wild Bunch) and his annoying mystery-loving goody two-shoes daughter, Marci (Dana Kimmell, Friday the 13th part 3), to get to the bottom of these killings.This film focuses more on the mystery and melodrama aspects of the movie and less on the killings themselves and thus is able to differentiate itself from a lot of it's '80's Slasher brethren. It doesn't hurt that Alesia has a great body (I feel the need to stress the obvious with stating that the actress is over 18 and thus convey that i'm not overly perverted). On the downside, the movie is hampered with a few plot points that are underdeveloped and unnecessary, a grating theme some that is used a bit too often, and an ending that is a tad anti-climatic. But the good outweigh the bad (barely). Give this a rent, but I wouldn't buy it.Eye Candy: Aleisa Shirley shows her tits, bush and ass My Grade: C Code Red DVD Extras: An intro by star Aleisa Shirley and Director of Intruder, Scott Spiegel; Both Director's cut & theatrical version of the film; Audio conversation with star Shirley and Director Jim Sotos; interview with Shirley, Sotos & Bo Hopkins; still gallery; theatrical trailer for this film; and trailers for Nightmare, Stunt Rock, Rituals, & Balalaika Conspiracy

acidburn-10 Plot = Melissa is a new girl in town, she's fifteen years old and her birthday is coming up in one week. Since Melissa is beautiful, every boy in town wants to hook up with her, but the few that manage to catch her interest mysteriously die.To be honest the real reason I wanted to watch this film is because Dana Kimmel of Friday The 13th pt 3 was in it which isn't a proper reason why to rush out and see a movie. When I started watching it I realized that "Sweet Sixteen" isn't a very good slasher, it's really dull and boring and just doesn't go anywhere. After over an hour, only three murders have occurred and the story hasn't really developed in any possible way.The movie is nicely shot with quite nice photography and good directing but just as with many other slasher flicks from the 80s, the movie suffers from being too dark at times. The acting is actually pretty good though and Melissa's character is easy to sympathize with, even though she's a complete slut.The story line isn't completely rubbish but it's just way too dull to keep you interested, the only things that kept me interested was Melissa she was stunning and Dana Kimmel whose really sweet and cute in this movie.All in all pretty dull slasher flick that doesn't go anywhere I'd definitely wouldn't recommend it to Slasher fans.
