Bullies is a 1986 Canadian action-drama film about a feud between two families in a small town in a similar vein to the remake of Romeo and Juliet (1968). The film was directed by Paul Lynch, and stars Jonathan Crombie, Janet-Laine Green, Stephen Hunter, and Olivia d'Abo.
Plot[]
The peaceful Morris family moves to a small town and buy the town grocery store, only to run into the Cullens, a family that has been bullying the townspeople for years, and they begin to torment the Morrises every chance they get. Matt Morris (Jonathan Crombie) begins seeing a girl named Becky (Olivia d'Abo), whose last name is unfortunately Cullen. In this Romeo and Juliet-esque relationship, Matt and Becky have to keep their relationship a secret, but when the feuding families find out, harassment is elevated to vicious assault.
