Plot Synopsis
Storyline
David is the new kid at Central High. The only person he knows is Mark, who runs with the local toughs led by Craig. David keeps his distance, preferring not to join the "club." He tries to convince the other students not to be pushed around, and intervenes once too often on their behalf. When he directly becomes a victim of Craig and the boys, David orchestrates a plan that causes an attrition problem amongst the members of the clique. Mark worries for his safety, even though he and David were once friends. Written by Ed Sutton <esutton@mindspring.com>

Massacre at Central high is perfect. It has the right mixture of violence, nudity, and storyline to make a great "slasher". All I have to say is that Skulnick from nerds, Robert Carradine is in it. It's about bullies, girls, adolescence, and everything great the high school years have to offer. I can't say more cause it will ruin it for you. WATCH IT!
