“The Substitute” (1993)- straight to VHS slasher starring Amanda Donahoe and Marky Mark

The Substitute (1993) is a fairly star-studded affair that was originally intended to spark a new Paramount thriller/horror franchise about a murdering psycho substitute teacher. Spolier: it didn’t make the grade. Directed by Martin Donovan and written by David S. Goyer (using the pseudonym Cynthia Verlaine!), it’s a pretty classy flick given the teacher’s salary TV movie budget, but it mostly gets a pass for the excellent Amanda Donohoe tour-de-force, and for being Mark Wahlberg’s (aka Marky Mark) first acting gig.

PS. Not to be confused with the Tom Berenger/Treat Williams movies.

The full movie.

Paramount was hoping to start a new slasher franchise with the substitute teacher but that never came to be. The budget was tiny and the film ended up playing on USA Network and going straight to VHS
