Psycho Girl's School: Angels vs Devil
adamcshelby27 August 2021
This is one of the more B-movie-ish Charlie's Angels episodes. The Angels go undercover at an all girls college called Blackmoor to find out who's strangling the students.

Sabrina is undercover as an art teacher, Kelly is undercover as a teacher as well, Kris is undercover as a student, her being the youngest. And once again Bosley is the master of menial tasks, he works as a stable boy cleaning up horse poop.

Audrey Landers, as beautiful as any one of the Angels, plays a total psycho out-of-her mind college girl selling drugs, booze, and pills. Her Donna Lassiter is about as unrealistic a character as imaginable, yet it's fun as hell. And considering that she's a total devil in this one, that makes sense. But the real question is, who's murdering the girls?

Other than Audrey there's really only a handful of suspects. One is the creepy headmaster of Blackmoor himself, played by Jack Fletcher, who actually hires the Angels, and the other is all-around maintenance guy/van driver played by the menacing Hal England.

There's a hilariously campy scene in Sabrina's art class where Audrey's character twirls the hair of Cheryl Ladd's Kris, only she twirls it so hard that she causes Kris pain. There seemed to be some genuine anger coming from Kris in this scene, pretty Audrey will do that to you.

Later on at night, another girl is attacked in her bed and we have a scene with Cheryl Ladd in pigtails and a nighty. Can't complain too much about that look.

Two other guests performances come from Elissa Leeds as the breathy-voiced Cissy, and Lori Lethin as Bo, friends and co-conspirators of Audrey Landers' Donna Lassiter. Eventually Donna's psychotic antics are too much for them.

These are the types of characters that only exist in an all-girls school slasher movie. We're talking about someone who has no problem burning down a barn full of people and horses just to cover up the fact that they're a drug dealer.

When we find out who the strangler is, it's not a surprise, and if you didn't see it coming then you just weren't paying attention. Maybe Audrey Landers had you under her spell. But anyone could tell you that one little devil didn't stand a chance against Three Angels.

Donna rocks!

Warning: Spoilers
"Teen Angels" requires more suspension of disbelief than usual from the viewer (for one thing, Cheryl Ladd, gorgeous as she is, is just a little too old to pose as a college student here, or maybe her classmates are just a little too young - in either case, their age difference is more noticeable than it should be; for another thing, the students at this college seem pretty apathetic to the fact that there is still a serial killer on the loose there!), but this episode still stands out, mainly thanks to Audrey Landers and her fantastically entertaining portrayal of the super-beautiful but also super-bitchy Donna. I liked her so much that I honestly wanted her to get away with what she had done at the end! The other girls are also quite appealing, though I wish we could have seen more of the natural stunner Deborah Richter (her exit is quick). **1/2 out of 4.

The Angels go sidehacking!!!

Warning: Spoilers
So bad it's almost good. The Angels go undercover at a girl's college, after a student is strangled. Kelly and Sabrina are teachers, Kris is a student, and Bosley shovels horse@*%t. They uncover a booze/pills ring, run by an uber-alpha mean girl played by Audrey Landers. Director Allen Baron and the writers gave this one all the deftness of a drunken rottweiler, but Audrey plus a climactic chase scene in which the Angels are sidehacking (i kid you not...see MST3K's "The Sidehackers" if you don't know what the heck i'm talking about), keep this out of one-star land. In art class, Sabrina has Kris be the model...having been an art model myself, i BOOED the rather flaccid choice of attire. There's also an abduction of Kelly that's comically erotic.
