Return to Nuke ‘Em High Volume 1

God Bless Lloyd Kaufman. While the rest of Hollywood chases its own tail looking for the next big thing, the genius behind Troma studios just keeps making Troma films like this one knowing that fans will love it and non-fans will…well, they should just stay away. In this, the fourth chapter of the Nuke “em high series, the toxic waste plant that changed teenagers into slimy cadavers in the first three movies has been replaced with an organic food processing plant that  is turning the green radioactive goop into ‘healthy’ lunches for the nearby school. It’s not much of a plot, but it’s enough to give Kaufman carte blanche to fill the screen with plenty of cheesy gore, gratuitous nudity and dark, dark comedy. In other words it’s a Troma film and, fans will agree, one of the best the studio has made in years.
