hyped garbage

How sad is this?

What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Some bad horror movies know exactly what they're after, and RETURN TO HORROR HIGH toys with an audience who thinks they know what the characters are doing and where the story's going, and why...Beginning in the present time, exterior night, as a tough yet gentle-giant-type police chief and a doting, surreptitiously perverse female officer, played by BRADY BUNCH oldest Maureen McCormick, are outside a high school where a multi-mutilation of bodies are a mysterious result from a confusing aftermath: Then cutting back to a horror flick being shot inside the school centering on a string of deaths that had occurred years before... Confused yet?Well there are plenty of head-scratching moments that all eventually add up to a much more worthwhile drive-in homage than most video rentals from the middle eighties. A young, mullet-donning George Clooney plays a primadonna pretty boy actor on the verge of stardom, and he's the first to walk off the safety of the set - into the ghostly halls of the spooky high school, a dry ice saturated locale that could have worked even if HORROR was more of a serious venture.The weakest aspect (in a movie that needs anything it can to work) is no-name leading man Brendan Hughes as the former cop who was there when it happened and now, replacing Clooney, he's the film-within-a-film's star along with an actress who makes up for him, in spades: THE DAY AFTER's subtle beauty Lori Lethin plays several people - or maybe just one?At times of utter confusion she's always fun to watch either scared to death, combating males, or being oblivious to the body count/bloodshed surrounding...Also starring former ALICE child actor turned awkward lean teen Philip McKeon with OVER THE EDGE father and son Andy Romano and Michael Kramer along with the movie's movie's pretentious director and slimy producer Scott Jacoby and Alex Rocco plus former 1950's stud Vince Edwards, RETURN TO HORROR HIGH is a cat batting a ball of colorful string, unveiling itself creatively as it's surprisingly good: enough for horror fans to not have to take it seriously enough to feel cheated of their beloved genre, and the casual viewer could very well be entertained if they'd give in and... as the saying goes... go with it.

I thought this was a medical film. There was Dr. Ben Casey (Vince Edwards); Ace from E.R. (George Clooney), along with Lori Lethin and Al Fann from the same show; Aubrey from Emergency (Pepper Martin); Rafael Camacho from Dr. Max (Panchito Gómez); Professor Porter from Doctors (Brendan Hughes); and Matthew from Trapper John, M.D. (Scott Jacoby).There was also Marcia Brady (Maureen McCormick). maybe she had a doctor's appointment.But, no, it was just a cheesy horror flick with the required exposed bits in the locker room shot. Too few to make it worth your while. Clooney was very busy in 1987. The is one of two films he appeared in - his first features. He appeared in several TV shows, including the final year of The Facts of Life. Sadly, he had little time for more that a brief appearance before being killed. lol

Wooohahaaa! This movie's got George Clooney in it! Haha! Other than that, it's a bunch of silly slasher-spoof nonsense just like "Killer Party" (1986) was (though I'll have to remind myself again how I really liked those crazy & demonic last 15 minutes of "Killer Party", even if the rest of the film is too dumb for words). "Return To Horror High" sometimes tries to be scary, and sometimes it just goes for the comedy. But it's always ridiculous. That didn't mean I didn't like it, it's just that... well, it's a bad movie."Return To Horror High" just misses most marks, even as an intended horror-spoof (about some crew of teens going to an abandoned high school to shoot a horror movie based on some killings that happened there years before, or something). Staggeringly nonsensical at first, and later on wanna-be scary at best, the fact that it misfires on many occasions made it actually sort of a fun watch. The only thing that it has going for it, is that kind of 'we don't care'-vibe it seemed to have. Like if they we're making this movie any way they wanted to make it, and just bothered afterwards whether or not it would all work in the end. Or was that just me getting the wrong idea about this flick?You might as well skip "Return To Horror High" and seek out & watch "Slaughter High" (1986) instead. It's also a stupid teen-slasher flick, but at least it amps up the fun (more female nudity, some fun gory killings & a demented finale). Or you could invite some friends over, order pizza, get sh!t-faced drunk and throw yourselves a "Killer Party at Slaughter Horror High" triple 80's slasher feature. I can see these films going down a bit better that way. But be prepared for that hangover the next day... it ain't gonna be pretty.

A low-budget slasher movie is being made at the closed-down Crippen High,a school where several bloody murders took place five years before.Unfortunately the killer,maybe the same one that was never apprehended,is going to spill more blood.I kind of enjoyed "Return to Horror High" and I must add that I am not a fan of mixing horror with comedy.The killer's costume looks almost identical to that of the Ghostface in Wes Craven's horror hit "Scream,".The film works as a cheesy slasher flick and doesn't really work as a slapstick comedy filled with flat jokes.The so-called twist ending doesn't make any sense whatsoever and there are some huge plot holes.George Clooney has the small cameo role in this film and he is the first one to be slaugthered.6 out of 10.
