HumanoidOfFlesh A new student named David comes to Central High.Unfortunately the school is terrorized by a gang of snobbish bullies.David can't accept the other students being bullied for no reason.He decides to fight back after his one of his legs is crushed under a bare drum rotor.One by one the bullies begin to die.Pretty interesting and captivating political allegory mixed with some slasher elements.The bullied becomes bullies themselves and the spiral of violence becomes overwhelming.The much-better-known 1989 film "Heathers" certainly borrowed several plot elements from "Massacre at Central High".Also Italian version of this film called "Sexy Jeans" was edited with pornographic inserts.8 out of 10.
WolfgangR5150 As a fan these kind of films I sat down to give it view. The premise reminded of the 80's movie Heathers. 4 popular kids, popular only by name who set the tone of the school but for the most part are not well liked. Well this is 4 guys, Heathers is 4 girls. New kid shows up and is befriended into this click, Winnona Ryder has the same thing happen. Both movies, they new kid in school isn't real fond of the so called popular kids are how they treat people. Anyways, Heathers splits the killer up into two characters where Massacre roles them into one. Some of the acting kinda lame and some really average writing. I did like this movie but Heathers should be smacked for ripping this movie off almost to the every end. The killer dies blowing himself up outside the high school. Massacre at Central High should come out on DVD I would buy it. Enjoyed the movie but at the same time it now has me looking at Heathers in a less than original light.
disdressed12 this is not a good movie.i don't recall seeing worse acting for a long time.basically,a new student becomes bullied to the point where he is pushed over the edge.he exacts revenge by killing those who wronged him, making their deaths look accidental.sounds okay so far,right.but,this killer decides to kill other students who had nothing to do with bullying him.now there are no real "legitimate" reasons given to murder everybody.now,we get to the acting.each time a fellow student has a fatal accident,the other students show very little emotion and continue as if nothing has happened.i have to chalk this up to the limited acting ability of all the actors.in most so called horror movies, acting is not expected to be Oscar calibre,but this is worse than almost any movie in the horror genre.and things are worse because this movie has no scary sequences,so it would be nice if the actors could pick up some of the slack.the characters are like robots in their reactions,so it's really hard to like any of them.there are at least two scenes of nudity which are pointless.there is never any suspense generated,so there is never any feeling of anyone being in jeopardy.one last thing.this movie tries to take itself way too seriously,as if it is an Oscar contender.if it had been played for laughs,it may have been a better,or at least watchable movie. 1/10
movieman_kev David, the new kid in school, prefers not to join the club that the only new friend he made ,Mark, runs in. Craig, the leader of said gang doesn't like that David isn't falling in line and when he saves some "bull dykes" from getting raped by the gang, he pays for his insolence. Now after a stint in the hospital, he plots revenge. Horrid acting hamper this 'message' horror movie. Homoerotic sub-text, lame killings, and bad dialog don't help either. And don't get me started on that theme song. Go rent "Class of 1984" instead.My Grade: D Eye Candy: Kimberly Beck & Cheyrl Smith show all; Lani O'Grady shows breasts
