Zombie High

Zombie High is a 1987 horror-comedy film directed by Ron Link and starring Virginia Madsen, Richard Cox, and Kay E. Kuter. The movie follows a transfer student named Andrea (Madsen) who is eager to start at the prestigious Crichton Academy. However, she quickly discovers that the school has some sinister secrets.

Crichton Academy is tucked away in the mountains and is a haven for the rich and privileged. The school is known for its academic excellence and strict rules, but it also has a dark side. Students are subjected to bizarre experiments that turn them into mindless zombies.

Andrea starts to notice strange behavior when she arrives. Her roommate, Suzi (Sherilyn Fenn), is an oddball who appears to be developing a crush on their biology teacher, Mrs. Jewels (Kuter). Meanwhile, Andrea's boyfriend, Barry (Cox), is suddenly acting aloof and distant.

As Andrea tries to unravel the mystery of what is happening, she uncovers a conspiracy involving some of the staff at Crichton Academy. With the help of Barry and a fellow student, he bands together to take on the evil forces at the school.

The movie is a blend of horror and comedy, with its tongue firmly planted in cheek. It features over-the-top performances, cheesy dialogue, and some genuinely creepy moments. The film plays on the popular horror tropes of the time, including mad scientists, creepy institutions, and, of course, zombies.

Virginia Madsen delivers a solid performance as Andrea, the plucky heroine determined to uncover the truth. She is joined by Richard Cox, who plays her smarmy boyfriend, and Kay E. Kuter as the eccentric but sinister Mrs. Jewels. Sherilyn Fenn stands out as Suzi, Andrea's quirky roommate with a secret.

Overall, Zombie High is a fun movie that fans of horror and comedy will enjoy. It's not a classic by any means, but it delivers on its promise of thrills and chills. If you're looking for a movie that doesn't take itself too seriously, then Zombie High is worth checking out.
