Leave your thoughts about Zombie High.
| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonActual zombies are nowhere to be found in Zombie High, which instead comes off as a poor hybrid of The Stepford Wives and a vampire flick. |
| User ReviewAl MA campy, stupid film that is still thoroughly entertaining, partly due no doubt to these early performance by Virginia (Candyman) Madsen and Sherilyn (Twin Peaks) Finn. Zombie High is not a zombie film in the classic sense of the term. It does not concern reanimated corpses on a quest for flesh. Instead, it is about a boarding school where the faculty are carrying out Clockwork Orange style experiments that render the students docile, obedient, and completely preppy. As dumb as a film can be, Zombie High is enjoyable as a piece of cheesetastic 80s horror. |
| User ReviewHollie TA fun 80's movie that includes a young Virgina Madsen & Sherilyn Fenn. I was disappointed to find that the title is very misleading. There are no zombies in this film. Robots maybe but not zombies. Had I seen this movie in the 80's, I would loved it. It is a combination of "Disturbing Behavior" and "The Stepford Wives". Since I have seen both, this movie seemed predictable and a touch corny. |
| User ReviewKaren USlow to start, no death or gore for the first 45 minutes. However, the prom scene is worth the price of admission! Lots of laughs here, intentional or otherwise. |
| User ReviewChris PThought it would be shite but i seen worse :) good |
| User ReviewFilmGrinder SRobert Rodriguez does it better with THE FACULTY, slightly tweaked of course. |
| User ReviewMichael T1980's suspense film gets sillier and sillier as it goes along. |
| User ReviewLåëílã BPretty boring for the most part but the end definitely saved it from being total crap. Rock n Roll saves the world. Natch. |
| User ReviewDaryl TWhen zombies are chasing me and very close behind me, I always make sure to stop and put on my helmet before escaping on my motorcycle. |
| User ReviewDavid W14 notes about Zombie High: 1) It was Virginia Madsen's 10th movie, and among her earliest leading roles. 2) Sherilyn Fenn (billed as 'Sherilynn') is her roommate. This was her 6th movie, and a year before capturing attention in Two Moon Junction. 3) Although set in a preparatory school, none of the cast looks younger than 22. 4) Madsen introduces herself as Andrea (ANN-dree-ah) but nobody pronounces it the same, from ON-dree-uh to even her boyfriend Barry always getting it wrong with ahn-DRAY-uh. So there's your drinking game. 5) There are no zombies in Zombie High and Andrea even declares, "You're all a bunch of vampires!" 6) The wretched music score is among the worst ever heard, from the awful synth lovesongs that would embarrass Billy Ocean to the ill-advised use of freeform jazz drum fills during scenes intended to increase tension. Furthermore the soundtrack is mixed too loudly, often drowning out dialogue. 7) Zombie High is among the least horrifying horror movies you will find. 8) There are more intentional laughs (two) than scares (zero). 9) There are more unintentional laughs (about five) than intentional ones. 10) Zombie High was partially funded by the USC School of Film & TV and does not represent a positive endorsement for enrollment. 11) Plot of student mind control reminiscent of 1998's The Faculty. 12) "We are only here today because of my discretion!" professor Philo declares after a loud discussion in a public area about their secret experiments. 13) It's daytime, no wait, now it's night. It's day! It's night! A week has passed, or was that a month? Do not expect a coherent passage of time. 14) Credits disclaimer states that "any similarity to persons living, dead, or undead is coincidental " "I thought you'd gone, you said you didn't want to be here anymore." "Well...I changed my mind." |
