Synopsis from Troma:
Welcome to Tromaville High School. Your typical high school populated with your basic football jocks, wannabe prom queens and glee club hopefuls. Did I say “typical?” After all, this is Tromaville High, where the glee club has mutated into the hideous Cretins after eating tainted tacos courtesy of the Tromorganic Foodstuffs Conglomerate. Chrissy and Lauren, two innocent lovers/bloggers, must not only fight the adolescent beasts and freaks, they must also defeat the evil Conglomerate.
Trailer:
Never forget that Troma supplies plenty of moral lessons hidden behind strong, exploitative content. It's like filth propaganda that excites while trying to make you a better citizen. Toxie would be proud.
Let's run it down...
The Players: Tromettes and Tromeos filled with overacting. Not bad acting, but these fellas and femmes bring it ALL to the table. Casting is always solid in a Troma movie because they get exactly what they want... Cheap.
The Scare: Not scary. Disgusting. Lesbian sex that includes a girl vomiting into another girls mouth with great big gooey green shit is... an artistic vision, but it won't scare you. Bring your Pepto. Find the toilet. Avoid eating.
The B(lood) & G(ore): There are some perfect scenes of melting flesh that are completely over the top, unrealistic and entertaining. Giant cocks. Pregnant stomach explosions. Killer penis monsters. Um... it's a Troma movie. You've been warned (and welcomed)
The Ta’s: Where Troma succeeds like no other is getting young ladies and gents to remove their clothes. The boobs flow like flapjacks at a firehouse breakfast in this feature. The only different? The caliber of naked people on screen is exceptionally high. We're talking about some class A hot lesbian action. If you can watch Return with a hand down your pants or someone else's hand down your pants I strongly recommend it.
The Family Plot: It's Nuke 'Em High get radioactive. The class gets crazy and turns into a bunch of strange mutants rebels with a battle that is left unresolved in part (this is a volume one after all). To be continued.
The Finish: To be continued and you'll want to continue to see how they might outdo this picture thought not from a plot perspective. You'll demand more violence and sex and gore and green shit. That's what you'll want from volume 2. I'm excited. I'm a Troma fan.
The Art: My favorite goddamn cover art of this year/last year and maybe longer. I love this strange nudie femme meets mondo disaster with excellent fonts/logo work. The green case is perfect.
The Tech and Extras: It's filled to the brim. That's what Troma does. Well done guys.

Overall this is a fine entry into the Nuke 'Em High tradition and canon. It's includes the movie elements that made the original entries in the series great while offering some new concepts to hook the Troma-virgins. Laugh it up because that's why we watch Troma movies. Get aroused, get lucky, vomit on each other and pick up a really get release. Let's face it. I'm a reviewer from New Jersey and the damn movie takes place in the Garden State. How am I not going to love this movie? The original came out when I was 6 years old, and I would have loved both Class of and Return to just the same if I watched them in '86 or 2014.
You can order Return to Nuke 'Em High now! Releases March 18th.
