Um, yeah. It's a movie with all the 80s mixins you expect. I get that it's supposed to be satirical and everything, but it's not, really. I actually watched this movie on recommendation and came into it expecting to like it. I'm really surprised that it made me dislike it as much as I did.

There's SO many plot holes and continuity errors that it effects the movie being enjoyable. Editing was a thing, even in the 80s, so I can only forgive so much of it.

I love my ridiculously campy movies as much as anyone, but there has to be some charm to it. I looked for it here, I really did and I couldn't find it. There's just so many tropes that all seemed to be competing for attention and none of them felt like they committed enough to their bit to warrant it.

I'm not sure if this is something that you have to be a Troma loyalist (didn't know that was even a thing before I finished watching this movie and looked into it) to enjoy, but as someone that came into it pretty objectively, if not, slightly positively skewed, I'm not sure what happened here.

I'm glad that some people really enjoy this and think it's worth the hype that I just found out existed around it. I'd describe it as a product of a product of a product of a product of its time.

What to say about this movie. Well it is about a bunch of good students who have some bad drugs and turn into delinquent students that sell more of the bad drugs to people. Two of those people have adverse effects as one turns into a toxic avenger type and his girlfriend throws up some creature that grows in the school's basement. That is about all there is to it and they stretch it out for 84 minutes. This movie is pretty bad and should be locked away forever. Though that is not fair, some people like Troma's movies and they can watch it if they want. Troma movies for me though, are the worst movies there are out there. I just watched this one out of morbid curiosity.

Troma's set up was always to make films so bad they were good, but they haven't aged well. They were always just OTT daft films with poor SFX; ridiculous acting, and gratuitous nudity. The humours not funny, the actions poor, and the story is ridiculous. A great mix when I saw these as a teenager, but no longer really appealing.
