Best Horror Movie Ever!!
I have seen a lot of horror films and seriously, this is the best one. It has a brilliant evil character, who is really cool and takes no prisoners. He doesn't just mindlessly slash at all who come near him. He takes his time to dream up a master plan of revenge, then bides his time so he can kill in the most elaborate and brilliant way, unlike any other character I have seen. He can also improvise with whatever implement is around him and pull off a great killing scene anyway. The film is a perfectly balanced compromise between suspense and slash, making the film quite scary. The special effects are outstanding for the time they were done and the suspense music and theme song are both great, sending the film beyond the almost slapstick horror of Friday 13th. If you haven't seen this film, you will probably only get to watch it if you buy it here and you are probably wondering if you should fork out the money and take the chance that it is good. Every film, good and bad, has a good review and someone is always going to like it, so I won't just tell you the good bits. The dialogue is not very good and the acting is not oscar-winning, but the sheer fact that it is low-budget just adds to its greatness and would not work if it had big movie sets and famous actors. It is an absolutely incredible film and I am only writing this review because it saddens me that most people (including horror film buffs) will not get to see this film because it was discontinued not long after its release and never showed at the cinema, so I want people to know that if they don't see it they will be missing out on a whole horror film experience, for there is nothing else like it, and there never again will be.

Entertaining slasher flick
Slaughter High is one of the better slasher flicks of the 80s(a whole lot better than the 1985 BOMB "The Mutilator"). The movie starts with the High School nerd who is tricked into a cruel trick by teens and then play another trick on him and then it causes him to start a fire and then a bottle of alcohol dioxide spills on him causing him to be scarred and then he plans a reunion and invites those teens that played the pranks on him and kills them. This movie is entertaining and well-made. <

>The highlights of Slaughter High are: <
> <
>The bloody special effects including 3 classic murders including a teen drinking a beer with some explosive dioxide and causing his intestines to explode,a girl taking a bath and then the water turns into acid and then her face desolves until it is a skeleton,and a teen working on a lawnmower-like machine and two circular blades cut him until blood shoots all over his face. <

>and the eerie music score by Harry Manfredini who did the music score for Friday the 13th movies. <

>Horror fans should rent this movie, Please look for the unrated version that features all the gore that was cut in the R-rated version.

The Citizen Kane Of Funny Bad Movies.
I saw this movie almost ten years ago with my brother on one of our weekly horror movie nights. This one always stuck out in my mind. I loved it so much because it didn't really take it self so seriously. Sure, the acting is stilted, and their accents make them sound like deaf people learning to speak! The movie's about a nerd in high school who gets pranked by the popular kids and the prank turns deadly. Or so they think. Turns out that the nerd is alive and ready for revenge (years later, though!). My favorite part of the movie is when the popular kids are reuniting at the abandoned school, and this big motorcycling oaf from the gang comes roaring in on his bike and falls off (even though he clearly is safely getting off the bike and lands on the grass), and the camera closes in on him as he says "Oh, man, that-bike-has-got-to-go". And he says it so slowly and pauses after each word. I used to tell my friends about that scene, and they never believed me that the actor said it that way. But once they saw it, they knew my impression was dead on. All the actors smoke a cigarette in the movie, and smoke them like they're supposed to be smoking pot, which is wierd. Was it supposed to be pot? I don't know. All of the deaths in this movie are hilarious, one funnier after the other. I wont tell you about them because they are to funny for me to spoil them for you. And make sure to keep an eye out for the stereotypical black janitor. Also look out for the great soundtrack of one intsrumental tune over and over, and a rock song with some crazy singer saying,"April Fools, HA HA HA HA"!!! That is the cherry on the top of this garbage heap. This movie is so worth renting, and or buying. Enjoy!!
