SLAUGHTER HIGH

Take a trip through the halls of horror
There's horrors in the halls...lynching in the lunchroom...
murder in the metal shop. Welcome to SLAUGHTER HIGH where the students are dying to get out!
Marty was the nerd everyone made fun of. All the jocks and pretty girls teased, taunted, and tortured him mercilessly. Things went too far when one of their jokes backfired disfiguring Marty for life!
Its five years later and Marty is throwing a reunion for all his high school "friends"-does he have a surprise for them! The prom queen, the jock, the class clown, the busybody, the rebel, and a few "select" others have all been invited to Marty's gala of gore. Five years ago Marty got mad...now he's gonna get even-in one riot of a reunion!

Starring Caroline Munro, with Simon Scuddamore as Marty, Carmine Iaanacone, Billy Hartman, Gary Martin, Kelly Baker, Sally Cross, Michael Saffran, John Segal, Josephine Scandi, Donna Yeager, Marc Smith, Jon Clark, & Dick Randall as Manny.

Ok though Slaughter High was a low budget comical slasher film, its still a film to get and watch. The plot of the high school nerd kills his classmate wasn't done like it should have to me. The pranks played on him were mean but isn't that just typical for a nerd to get picked on like that in high school?

But how could anyone trick someone thinking he's gonna lose his virginity with the pretty girl in the girls locker room? Especially since its his birthday on April Fools Day? How mean! Have some kind of sympathy! I guess kids can be really mean to the underdog. The last one they did to him was very cruel backfiring and getting his face burned, though they said it wasn't their fault yes it is!

They drove him mad after that last prank Marty is now pist at them he ain't joking. No more give the nerd a swirly, jabbing him with a javelin, giving him an electric shock, hosing his private parts, all done while on video camera,-cruel if u ask me, now Marty's gonna get even with his classmates. Well the same bullies meet up at a class reunion five years later but someone is waiting for them not for a friendly welcome but a night of gore, revenge is sweet!

The end was ridiculous because I thought it was going to be more than that. Simon Scuddamore played Marty Rantzen the nerd real good, sad that he committed suicide though. I wonder if he was picked on like that in high school? You never know. The music was not even scary it was actually funny. Where did Harry Manfredini find that music at?

George Dugdale I know you could have directed this film better come on now. Why was it shot in England and not America? I thought it was America when I first saw it as a teenager but its actually a British made movie, with most British actors and few American actors like Simon Scuddamore and Marc Smith who played the high school coach. The killings weren't even scary.

You can hear the Friday the 13th music in Slaughter High though. Did the makers of Friday the 13th really produce Slaughter High? I never saw Mark Ezra, Peter Litten or George Dugdale as producers of Friday the 13th. Nor Steve Minasian or Dick Randall's names are mentioned. Only Harry Manfredini who is the music producer of Friday the 13th but no one else.

But anyway I think they should have a remake of Slaughter High and a sequel maybe and folks will like it better. When will this movie be released on DVD? I haven't seen that as yet only copies are available. If they decide to release it on DVD, a tribute to Simon Scuddamore should be made, and the making of Slaughter High. Incase some of you didn't know Slaughter High was originally titled April Fools Day.

Slaughter High aka April Fools Day is not a good horror slasher movie but you can still look at it, not that cheesy like others I've seen. Its the typical revenge of the nerd slasher flick! Pick on the underdog you will get bitten!
