gridoon2018 Another high-school-prank-gone-wrong-disfigured-victim-seeks-revenge slasher movie from the 1980s. If you can put up with a horribly amateurish first half hour, this one has a few decent moments and a couple of fairly gruesome and imaginative kills. It also has instances of head-slapping stupidity, such as Caroline Munro knocking down the killer with a baseball bat and then dropping it beside him and running away (!), of the fact that all the characters can quite easily leave the school building as one of them demonstrates but never even try to. Speaking of Munro, she is surprisingly convincing playing a teenager despite being 37 (!) at the time, but this was a big career comedown for her - she was in a James Bond movie less than a decade earlier, for crying out loud. One amusing line: "if a caretaker takes care of the place, a janitor....janits?" ** out of 4,.

videorama-759-859391 I guess one of the standout attractions to this shoddy horror is English movie goddess, Caroline Munro. Horrors like this were more admired or fun in their time. The acting in this film was very bad, save for Marty (this one film actor and humanitarian, suiciding just after), the coach, and the loud bully, passable, who sabotaged a chemical experiment, which went horribly wrong for it's creator/geek, Marty. Before this, a real low down (stereotypical) prank was pulled on Marty, in the girl's locker room, where he was coaxed into a sexual liason with Munro, before being photographed naked, then having his head shoved down a toilet. Personally these were the most heartless bullies/jocks/cheerleaders, I've ever seen and couldn't wait for their demises, as years later, they receive a secret invitation by (guess who) to a high school reunion. Here, Marty, disguised in a leprechaun mask, kills them off, some in uniquely clever ways, the first victim, dying a shocking death, in front of his peers. I felt no mercy for these dickhead victims at all, as they all got what they deserve, where now in the 21s't millennium, bullying as got worse. If you can remember the bullies blamed Marty when getting caught, during the locker room/sex prank, which for them was ground to teach Marty a lesson, with that backfiring chemistry explosion, which saw Marty, disfigured. What are you serious? They should of not of pulled that prior locker room prank, in the first place. SH is a crummy, awfully shot and acted film, some exterior shots of total blackness, where we lose the actors, briefly. I did like how one scene you thought was real, which cut to years later, with Munro having a bad dream. It's really sickening how people can just move on, from their dastardly deeds, with no conscience, though bad actions sometimes have fatal consequences. What really sucked was the way the film ended, as if it was all premeditated by the bandaged Marty, burning with fury. A stupid ending for a number of reasons. I really wanted Marty's revenge to be real.

Avinash Shukla To begin with, How would you like acid being splashed on one's face, a javelin poked near crotch, someone being strangulated and then nailed to the door, a beer that explodes innards out and a beautiful body dissolving slowly in acid. Well if you are into punk depiction of death 'Slaughter High' is for you. Indigenous attributes set this one apart from many contemporary slasher flicks, and it's fun watching the English apply American accents to sound Americans. Unlike most of the slasher flicks that fail to hold you tight during the entire course, 'Slaughter High' promises relentless fun and violence. The Jester mask, though not very horrid, is creepy enough.Marty (Scuddamore) is a plain fool. He is such a loser that no girl would like to spend her time with. Marty soon becomes a victim of college prank, when a popular college girl Carol (Caroline Munro) cajoles him to make love under the shower, while intentionally letting the pranksters shoot Marty nude on the camera, of course without Marty's knowledge. Marty is insulted, beaten and also has his head drowned into the commode. His troubles end when the college coach (Smith) saves him and condemns the wrongdoers to hard labor in the gymnasium. The ring leader Skip (Inannaccone) wants to settle scores with Marty and rigs his chemistry practical apparatus to explode on Marty's face. The trick works and Marty collapses on floor. To make this worse, an acid jar turns down splashing a liter of hazardous liquid on his face, thus horribly disfiguring him. Most of the wrongdoers show remorse at Marty's burns and it appears that Marty is taken to a hospital for treatment. Several years later, these students get an invitation to show up for reunion at the same old college building. They find the building in serious disrepair awaiting demolition. They somehow get adjusted to it but a crazy 3-horned jester is stalking and finishing them in brutal and bizarre ways.So what all does it take to make a nice shock movie? Well, watch 'Slaughter High' and you'll know. The movie is cheesy to the core with all the English actors pretending to be Americans. The setup is great and so is the atmosphere. It looks strange to see a crowded college building go deserted with time. The dim lit corridors remind me of Nazi concentration camp shown in 'Wold3D' game. It's the sheer sense of isolation, that rules the mind whenever any such set up comes before in real life. For example, I really fear walking on long and silent corridors at night. This movie needs to be enjoyed instead of being reviewed. So folks, enjoy the hip hop ride with lots of stylistic murders and gore.

jfgibson73 Slaughter High was the only slasher movie I saw growing up. It was harmless fun for the most part, but had one death scene that really bothered me. In recent years, I've become more interested in horror movies, so when I came across a good copy of Slaughter High, I decided it was time to revisit it to see how it held up.The story is about a nerd who gets painfully disfigured when a group of popular kids keep picking on him. He gets them back years later by trapping them in the school and killing them off.Watching it today was almost like watching it for the first time, since I didn't remember much of it. My verdict: it holds up just fine. It moves along at a decent pace and does what these movies do fairly well. The scene I remembered most vividly--the shower scene--is still pretty disturbing. It ends satisfyingly enough, and kept me entertained throughout.
