Zombie High (1987)
8/10
Little seen gem from the 80's

Virginia Madsen is very beautiful on this movie that is based on a kind of a Stepford Wives premise. But here conformity and brainwashing are not a gender issue but aiming to transform the youth into passive college students that are "perfect" for the financial market. There is also a subplot involving the myth of the ageless vampire but in a very peculiar way, what seemed refreshing for me. Soundtrack is very good and the conclusion is abrupt but also funny. It is surprising how little seen this movie is, at least here, on IMDb. I noticed other reviewers are complaining because they say there are no zombies and no high school. Indeed the story is set on a college. But that did not bother me at all. As for the zombies ... if you are open to a broader concept of zombies, then we have 2 types of zombies in this movie, the young and the old ones. Watch it and you will get what I mean. There is really nothing much to complain about this movie. Give it a go, it is worth it. Review by Fernando Ramos.
