When you look through the back catalogue of Troma films productions, you'll see some real trash, and a few gems, my favourite of them, being this one, Class of Nuke 'em high.
A group of students smoke some marijuana, which has been infected by toxic substances from a nearby plant, the effects have a huge effect on the school.
I'd have been ten when I first saw a VHS of this, it probably gave me a few nightmares, last night for nostalgia's sake, I returned to it.
Trashy, trashy in all aspects, the visuals, camera work, music, and most of all the acting, some of it's awful, but it's all in keeping with the weird tone of the movie.
One thing that does hold up, the monster at the end, I thought it looked pretty good, it's quite menacing looking, some gross moments too, including the tadpoles. Definitely a few attractive characters, and many not quite so too.
If you're after something sharp, polished and creepy, then look away, if however you're after a few laughs, and something a little different, then you may just enjoy this.
7/10.
