George Clooney Movie:

Editorial Review:
Return to Horror High is a convoluted cheesefest that tries to be spoof and horror movie at the same time, feebly prefiguring Scream. A movie crew is filming a slasher picture at a high school where a series of murders actually occurred; the killings begin again--or are they simply staged for the production? The answer to this question is distinctly uninvolving, but it involves a lot of fake blood. Familiar faces include Vince Edwards and Brady Bunch star Maureen McCormick (a uniformed cop), plus--until he becomes the first victim--George Clooney. --Robert Horton

Return to Horror High Reviews:
Great Silly Fun Movie
2009-12-02 - I really liked this movie. Yes its silly, but its not meant to be serious. It's a spoof, plain and simple. And even as old as it is it's worlds better than all of "Scary Movie" spoofs. This movie proves that you don't have to rely on tons of sex/drug related jokes in order to be silly and fun. It's very campy, but it's so much fun. I really loved the song that played during one scene, unfortunately I can't find the song anywhere. It was called "Man For Me". Anyway, I enjoyed this movie.

STRAT MOVIE?
2009-11-05 - The first thing I noticed when I tore open my envelope for this movie, was that it did'nt have the same cover as advertised on Amazon. It was a cheap grainy still from the movie with the film's title at the bottom in plain white letters. It screamed bootleg. But apparentley it was put out by a company called TOP TEN new media. A bootlegger would have probably have done a better job! Because this was a really crappy edition. On the main menu screen the first thing you read is STRAT MOVIE. That's right STRAT, not start. When a company let's something like that get released, you know they don't care about the product! And when I did strat the movie, it starts way into the film, and you have to hit reverse all the way back to the beginning. It did it every time I tried it. As for the movie itself. Well it was okay. Amusing at times, boring and confusing at others, the few nude scenes were good. If you like silly horror comedies, you'll probably enjoy it, but I would seriously try to get a copy from a company, besides TOP TEN!

2009-10-06 - fun little low budget horror movie worth your money had george clooney in what i believe was one of his first(brief) movie roles had the blood and alittle cheesiness that most b-movies have well worth your money just pay attention the ending could have you saying wtf

An Excellent Bit of Campy Horror
2008-04-30 - I hate to say it, but this movie is precisely what I enjoy about B-Movie horror...buckets upon buckets of blood, characters with little-to-no development (that you'd care about anyway), and willingness to not take the subject material altogether too seriously.

On top of all of that is a genuinely fascinating, though implausible, twist in the narrative. It's quite wonderful.

I would sincerely recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys horror and comedy.

A dull and disjointed disaster.
2008-03-27 - Posing as a high school slasher THE RETURN TO HORROR HIGH is actually a poorly written, poorly acted and poorly directed horror/ comedy...and I'm using both of those terms loosely.

Confusingly told with an incredible amount of flashbacks, a limp dream sequence and a twist ending that was so stupid it made THE VILLAGE look like Stephen Hawking the story is about a film crew shooting a slasher movie at a high school that was previously the scene of a real life massacre. People start disappearing, but not as quickly as my desire to care what happens.

I have no idea what the filmmakers were going for, but they failed on every level possible. Sadly, I've seen worse, much worse, but still there is no reason (outside of morbid curiosity or drunkeness) to waste your time on this clunker.

Gorehounds: don't worry about it; the limited special effects are pathetic, barely above Troma standards.
