    Movie With Rock Hard Message

    US high skool movie from 80-es, although done in Canada. Surely low budget. What was not low is overdone humor (attempt) .

    Start car fight in snow, food fight ... Maybe not how is done but what it is matters :-) Sci-Fi ? Hardly. Or maybe mind control presented should be it. Rather fiction that science. Only funny was French teacher.

    And something I don't remember - extremely crazy principal.

    Dialogs are really low quality, and usual cliche based. Lot of fight, sometimes too rough, but no serious injuries. Except in feeling of viewers.

    And after all it came pretty short, fast developing ending. I was happy - that it was over :-)

    Bad meaning bad, not bad meaning good

    So I found a VHS copy of this amongst a stockpile of B-movie horror and the only reason I bought it was because of the cover art and the fact that no one on IMDb had previously reviewed it. After watching it I realized why, it's painfully bad. And I don't mean bad in a fun, laughable Troma sort of way. The worst part of it is that nothing happens for the first half of the movie, its pretty much just a lame high school teen flick. No blood and guts, no T and A, just lame teens doing lame stuff like having food fights and hitting on chicks at the mall. The only noteworthy part of the movie is that Lee Tergeson, star of TV shows like Oz and Weird Science, makes his acting debut. Other than that its a complete waste of time.
