Matt Brunson Film Frenzy While production values are mostly on the amateurish side, there's enough that's different about it to place it a (machete) cut above other similar films. Rated: 2/4 Jul 23, 2022 Full Review Pete Vonder Haar Film Threat This title is redundant, isn't it? Rated: 1/5 Oct 28, 2005 Full Review Michael Szymanski Zap2it.com Rated: 1/5 Oct 15, 2005 Full Review Dustin Putman TheFilmFile.com A perfectly good way to waste an hour-and-a-half for those seeking a 'dumb' horror movie. It's no more than that, but sometimes, that's enough for any fan of this genre. Rated: 2/4 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review Read all reviews

Jonathan O Hello high aka raging fury aka real trouble is and okay late revenge thriller the cinematography looks good the cast are fine the story is meh towards the characters. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/17/23 Full Review Audience Member "What's in Mexico?" A prank a group of high school students pull on a hated teacher whilst dressed as a combination of Slipknot and "You're Next" goes horribly wrong as they become murderers. Discussing how to cover up what they'd done, the teacher re-animates and seeks revenge, offing the teens one-by-one. Really good synthwave soundtrack and the sound effects were top-notch as well. Squarely a high school-themed '80s slasher, the lot of this one finds us taken outside the school walls more often than its kin: "Slaughter High", "Cutting Class", "Return to Horror High", etc. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member 1989: A quartet of high school students go to a hated teacher's home to prank and scare her, but they end up killing her, or so they think. Not a great horror movie, but not a bad horror movie. The setup for the teacher's troubled behavior is shot well, if a little far-fetched. The panic of the quartet is believable. Sort of a surprise ending. Stars: Christopher Stryker, Maureen Mooney, Christopher Cousins, Millie Prezioso, and Jason Brill. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member this film is actually good, not high class good, but it is a good popcorn flick for late at night Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Frustratingly bad. Every character is insane....no one is likeable, or even sympathetic. Just really bad. And when did rape become a fun practical joke? Ugh. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A fun, bizarre little slasher flick that defies many of the rules of the genre and elicits an almost constant stream of laughter along the way. More despicable teens than I have seen in almost any other slasher film (these are perfectly okay with rape) reside at the center of this twisted and forgotten piece of slasher history--it is about five-seven years too late for the genre's prime. If you like slasher films or horror films that are so bad they're hilarious, then you'll like Hell High. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews
