Return to Nuke 'Em High Volume 1
Return to the Class of Nuke 'Em High follows a young couple that are up against the school glee club. Unfortunately, the glee club has mutated into a gang called The Cretins. When the other students begin to undergo mutations, our couple must solve the mystery and save Tromaville High School
Why it matters
Return to Nuke 'Em High Volume 1 delivers a gleefully grotesque, splatter-soaked throwback that doubles down on Troma’s signature blend of camp, gore, and gonzo satire.
- Pure Troma chaos: mutated teens, radioactive tacos, and a glee club turned gory gang—embrace the absurdity and practical FX carnage.
- A love letter to ’80s schlock with modern twists—perfect for fans of low-budget mayhem and DIY spirit.
- The Cretins embody that punk energy Troma does best, turning high school cliques into monstrous nightmares.
- Not for subtlety seekers, but for those who worship practical goo and relish horror’s wild, unhinged side.
