Excellent Troma flick!, 18 April 2006
9/10
Author: John Lindsey (Johnlindsey289@hotmail.Com) from Socorro, New Mexico USA.

In the town of Tromaville, there is a normal everyday high school except it's located near a nuclear power plant as there has been a horrible accident occurs as it contaminates the school. There's even more trouble as a vicious gang of teen bikers called "The Cretins" are becoming a menace to society in the town and there's also some nuclear abominations ready to kill.

A cult Sci-fi horror comedy hit from Troma who made the cult masterpiece "The Toxic Avenger". It's everything you expect from a typical Troma movie with bad acting, funny writing, laughs, sheer tastelessness, and splatter abound with some good make-up effects including the nuclear monster. Look for R.L. Pat Ryan ( a.k.a. the mayor from "The Toxic Avenger") and Lloyd Kaufman ( head of the studio) in small roles in this movie.

Also recommended: "Class of 1984", " Battle Royale", " The Toxic Avenger", "C.H.U.D", "Slugs", "The Crazies", "Akira", " Nightmare City ( a.k.a. City of the Walking Dead)", " The Being", " Basket Case", " Bad Taste", " The Stuff", "Street Trash", " The Incredible Melting Man", " Brain Damage", " From Beyond", " Toxic Avenger 2", "Toxic Avenger 3", "Citizen Toxie: The Toxic Avenger 4", "The Children", " Rabid Grannies", " Scream".
