The best thing about Slaughter High is the poster art, while the movie itself is actually pretty boring and lame. Back in the day, it was pretty common for genre film makers to try to cover up just how shitty their movies were by releasing kickass promotional art. Before the internet, a really cool poster or VHS cover went a long way in persuading people to see shitty movies. While I'm sure Slaughter High has a cult following, I'm willing to bet that most people who've seen the movie were lured in by the promise of sweater wearing skeletons with exploding apples. What they got, however, was a bland prank-gone-awry/revenge slasher made by a bunch of Brits doing terrible American accents. Rating: Bait & Switch%
