| Tagline: | It rotted their bodies. It corrupted their minds. And thats's the good news. |
| Favourite line: | Not a line, but the moment the initial infected student leaps through the window and melts in a puddle of slime. Sheer class |
Willfully demented addition to the Troma legacy, this one focuses on a High School that just happens to be situated right next door to a nuclear power plant.
Only in Tromaville!
It starts off with a statement of intent, as the class geek, who has inadvertantly drank some water contaminated by radioactive waste, suddenly starts to have a fit, leaps out of a high window and promptly dissolves in a shower of green slime.
Brilliant.
From there it's all about the students gradually transforming but, as none of them have direct contact with the substance, they are not as extreme as the first guy. Instead, a local gang introduce a strain of cannabis into the student populace that is laced with radiation, resulting in a mutant pregnancy, the product of which runs riot around the school!
Sound insane? It is!!
It gets a bit strained in the middle - and given it's only an hour and twenty long that's some achievement - but all in all this is high quality exploitation with enough gore to satisfy you blood fiends.
Very enjoyable.
