SHOCKtober! Slaughter High
Christine and I checked this out last year on Comcast’s OnDemand service. Oh yeah…this is the good stuff. Low-budget, horrible acting, ludicrous premise, and awesome kills. This movie’s got it all!
The movie begins with nerdy Marty getting picked on at high school. He’s the victim of a rather brutal prank resulting in his being institutionalized. Five years later, the perpetrators of the prank are invited to a class reunion – just for them – at the now-abandoned high school. That’s right: they all show up and none of them are suspicious. Now as ridiculous as this is, even more ridiculous is when the reunited students start having sex in the school even after people start getting picked off. One girl even takes a bath in a scummy old bath tub. I guess the filmmakers decided they needed some T&A to make up for the shitty plot.
Slaughter High is a great 80s flick if you love to laugh at your horror movies. The kills are cheesy and terrific and the plot will have you rolling. Marty’s a great killer and you’ll be rooting for him as he picks off his former high school bullies one by one.
“Where’s the beef! Where’s the beef!”
Too funny.
