If you're a fan of low-budget 80's slashers, Slaughter High is the movie for you. It's overflowing with so-bad-it's-good dialogue and acting, a classic slasher villain revenge story, a memorable and eerie setting, a striking score by the great Harry Manfredini, a uniquely masked killer played memorably by Simon Scuddamore (rest in peace), and brutal death scene after brutal death scene with fantastic gory low budget practical effects.
Of course, there are a few of the typical slasher cons to be found here - most notably some pacing issues, with a typical third act cat-and-mouse sequence that drags on for far, far too long... but overall, Slaughter High is a solid slasher flick that deserves to be remembered.
