Massacre at Central High


The cult classic that eerily predicted punk and Columbine, and inspired Rock'n'Roll High School and Heathers, with Bobby Carradine, Andrew Stevens, Rainbeaux Smith and Lani O'Grady. Written and directed by Rene Daalder.

...occasionally I would stagger home after seeing something truly strange and subversive, like Rene Daalder's pointedly political analysis of revolution at a suburban high school, Massacre At Central High.
— Dave Kehr, The New York Times, August 2009

A witty, surprising, and very entertaining low-budget movie... Any film that so efficiently juggles so many ideas deserves attention.
—Vincent Canby, The New York Times

A considerable filmmaking achievement... Intelligent and uncompromising.
—Roger Ebert
