About this product

Product Information

Terrence Malick's startlingly accomplished debut feature was inspired by the Charles Starkweather and Caril-Ann Fugate murders of the late-1950s. Martin Sheen plays Kit, a 25-year-old garbageman who walks with a James Dean swagger. When he first meets the innocent 15-year-old Holly (Sissy Spacek), he falls head over heels in love with her. Her father (Warren Oates), an overprotective widower, will not allow the relationship to blossom, even after Kit informs him of his decent intentions. This refusal sparks Kit into action, triggering a brutal killing spree across the Midwest. All the while, Holly is there by Kit's side, to witness the senseless crimes and ponder her uncertain future.BADLANDS is told from the point-of-view of the naive Holly, whose childish musings make the cold, detached killings seem all the more shocking. Malick's truly distinctive style, which combines lush photography and dreamy voiceover with bleak subject matter, has made him one of the world's most revered directors. His influence can be seen in works as wide-ranging as Quentin Tarantino's TRUE ROMANCE and David Gordon Green's GEORGE WASHINGTON. If there is such a thing as a perfect movie, BADLANDS certainly qualifies.

    Good acting by a young Martin Sheen and Sissy Specek

    Good movie. The character Kit was just straight up crazy and Holly eventually went along with everything he did. Reminded me of the true story I remember about Charlie Starkweather and his girlfriend when I was a kid.

    SO-SO and kind of boring

    I'd always heard this as a masterpiece, but found it kind of a dragged our bore. Not terrible, just kind of pointless & meandering, ultimately saying (in my opinion) nothing. Acting fine, cinematography pretty good, but no gigantic masterpiece. I find Mallick SUPER-OVERRATED
