Class of Nuke ‘Em High

(Richard W. Haines, Lloyd Kaufman; 1986)

(Troma)

When the nuclear power plant next to Tromaville high school springs a leak, the populace is irradiated. The honor society mutates into a motorcycle gang called The Cretins, and a humongous monster fetus is growing in the fallout shelter. Mayhem ensues.

This one is a true classic of the 80’s, in the vein of Class of 1984, Troma style. Packed full of the obligatory gratuitous nudity, ultraviolence and gore that makes Troma Troma. Decent effects, campy and tons of fun.

Adequate.

Flawed. Much artifacting is prevalent and the picture jitters at times as if frames are missing.
