slaughter high be and perhaps and the most underrated slasher flick of the 1980s . it be one of the few film in the genre that be enthral throughout . that be say and it also rely heavily on the standard slasher formula represent a group of young men and woman get kill one by one gruesomely until the final showdown . the reason why slaughter high stand above most movie in it genre be that it go more over the top . marty and the killer and have good reason to hold a grudge against his former classmate . they electrocute him a he stand naked in a girl locker room shower and jabbed at his crotch with a javelin and and and to top it off and rig his science lab experiment so it could disfigure him . so and the victim in this movie be about as unlikeable a you get . when they reunite year later at a high school reunion put on by marty himself you realize they haven not mature all that much . theyre a bunch of sociopath . it be mind boggle why they would not wonder why they be the only one to show up to the reunion and which and by the way and be hold at a school that have since fell into disrepair . and who would think it a good idea to drink beer and liquor find in the abandoned building in a room that happen to have their old locker as well a marty on display . there be many leap of faith the viewer need to take to enjoy this film . the end make little or no sense . and the screenwriter have a strange understanding of how april fool day work represent the movie claim that prank be no longer allow after noon . in all and the movie be one of the best example of the slasher genre and despite all of it flaw . it be hard to understand why it hasn not yet find it way to dvd and when so many other run of the mill slasher flick be grace with special edition .
