Class of Nuke 'Em High

Troma's toxic high school, second only to Toxie. Exactly as stupid as you want it to be.

Tromaville High sits next to a leaking nuclear plant, the contaminated weed on campus turns the honour students into a mutant gang called the Cretins, and one tainted joint leads to a girl giving birth to a monster that ends up living in the basement. Lloyd Kaufman and Richard Haines aim for nothing but cheap gags, cheaper gore and as much bad taste as a few dollars can buy, and hit it dead centre. This is the Troma house style undiluted, so calibrate accordingly. It spawned three sequels, none of them an argument for restraint. The natural next stop once Toxie has worn off.
