Rob Hunter Film School Rejects Rated: C- Jul 16, 2011 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film Rated: 2.5/5 Jun 10, 2011 Full Review Kevin Carr 7M Pictures the title Slaughter High was better than the movie itself. I was actually hoping for a bit more slaughtering than old high school buddies hanging out.

Raiodesol S With great potential, this movie just can’t capitalize on its amazing idea, delivering a very forgettable and dull final product. At some points, the movie feels like it’s going to pick up the pace, just to fall short and lose the rhythm. Unfortunate, considering that a chemist killer could be better executed. Overall, some kills are good, but most are more of the same for the genre. Also, the final twist comes out of nowhere but doesn’t feel good, maybe it’s a consequence of the time period I’m currently experiencing, but I can’t imagine people watching this back in the 80s liking it either. If the movie ended 10 minutes earlier, it would’ve helped the narrative. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/04/24 Full Review Audience Member acting isnt the best, however the concept and plot is unique and creative. same goes to the deaths, they were unexpected in the best way possible. marty's (the main character) design was awesome, along with his character and backstory. was rooting for him the whole time. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/14/24 Full Review David B NOT: scary, gross, funny, entertaining or good! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/24 Full Review Kate S Everything one would expect from an 80's slasher, hilariously bad in all the best ways. It's a little slow-paced between the opening and the first casualty, but otherwise a fun flick to watch with your genre-loving friends. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/11/24 Full Review Joshua H With poor acting, cheesy effects and almost every horror cliché imaginable, slaughter high will only slaughter your time. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/19/23 Full Review R P After watching Slaughter High, I've learned three things: 1. Don't be a bully, it doesn't end well (I knew that already, just reiterating that). 2. If you pull a prank, don't mess with dangerous chemicals. Duh! And finally, 3. Be aware of your surroundings. If you go to a reunion and it's a deserted building, and only your friends are there, leave immediately! That's my TED Talk. Thanks for coming.
