Class of Nuke 'Em High
The pupils at a high school next to a nuclear power plant start acting and looking strange after buying contaminated drugs from a plant worker.
Why it matters
A chaotic cocktail of radioactive teen rebellion and gross-out body horror that epitomizes Troma’s gleefully anarchic spirit.
- The ultimate B-movie mashup: high school hijinks meet nuclear mutation in a haze of practical gore and slapstick violence.
- A cult cornerstone for fans of DIY effects, with some gloriously squishy creature designs courtesy of Troma’s low-budget creativity.
- Satirical edge skewering 80s teen tropes and Cold War paranoia, a time capsule of nuclear dread turned absurd.
- Perfect for viewers who love their horror loud, messy, and unapologetically weird — a midnight movie staple that refuses to play it safe.
