Massacre at Central High

It took me forever to get a hold of this movie. I looked all over in the city here and couldn't find it anywhere. I was finally able to find it for rent on the internet. I have known about it for a couple of years but gave up trying to find it until I discovered the internet. It was well worth the wait. I wish Hollywood would strive on making more movies as challenging as this one. The film is set in a lavish high school where three tough boys rule over the masses until a new kid comes along and puts them out of commission. What starts out as a critical essay of Karl Marx's conflict theory turns into a parable showing the dangers of anarchy and revolutionary governments. However, there is more to the story than just that but I will let you make your own judgments. While the first part seems routine enough, the second part will have you talking with friends for hours. Derrel Maury brings in an effective turn as the cold and clinical new kid. The rest of the cast are splended as well, including Robert Carradince in an early role who later starred in the "Revenge of the Nerds" movie series. I can't believe that no money hungry producer, production company or major studio has not chosen to re release this little gem of a movie.
