The Set-Up: Five young kinky actors and their artistic director come to a desolate and nearly forgotten burial island, complete with a morbid history of MURDER, RAPE, CURSES and DEMONS. Alan (Alan Ormsby), the brilliant but bizarre Director of the company, has brought them to this foreboding place to dabble in witchcraft; specifically to dig up a fresh corpse and use it in a ritual ceremony which is supposed to raise the dead from their graves. The PAY-OFF: It seems as though Alan has really gathered his “”children”” here, only to play a practical joke on them and then to party the rest of the night away. However, the joke’s on Alan. His bizarre ritual ceremony really does raise the dead from their graves…only they’re in no mood to party! NOTE: “Benjamin” Clark is really “Bob” Clark, the creative director behind the hit films Porky’s, Black Christmas and A Christmas Story among others. Alan Ormsby, though he turned in what has been described as “”…one of the most obnoxious screen performances in history!””, has actually made a mark for himself as the screenwriter for such memorable films as My Bodyguard, Cat People, Karate Kid 3 and Porky’s 2.

“A considerable filmmaking achievement… Intelligent and uncompromising.” — Roger Ebert, Sneak Previews When new student David (Derrel Maury) arrives at Central High, he discovers that it is lorded over by a gang of bullies who rule the school through intimidation and violence. David’s friend Mark (Andrew Stevens, The Fury) encourages him to join this dominant clique, but instead David stands up for their victims, and the gang cripples him in retaliation. Soon David begins taking steps to end their reign of terror permanently, setting in motion an explosive cycle of killing that may not end until no one is left to graduate!

While packing in all the sex and violence that drive-in audiences demanded, Daalder also delivers a potent allegory about fascism and power structures in a high-school world where adults are absent. A cult and critical favorite since its 1976 release (and an evident influence on the classic Heathers), Massacre At Central High now available in this director approved restoration from Synapse Films.
