Fresh
from exclusive theatrical engagements in New York, Los Angeles and other major
markets, and still playing in exclusive theatrical engagements all over the
world (while receiving excellent mainstream reviews http://return2nukeemhigh.com/
Welcome
to Tromaville High School. Your typical high school populated with your basic
football jocks, wannabe prom queens and glee club hopefuls. Did I say “typical?”
After all, this is Tromaville High,
where the glee club has mutated into the hideous Cretins after eating tainted
tacos courtesy of the Tromorganic Foodstuffs Conglomerate. Chrissy and Lauren, two innocent
lovers/bloggers, must not only fight the adolescent beasts and freaks, they must
also defeat the evil Conglomerate. Will they, along with their mutant pet duck,
save Tromaville High and the rest of society?
Return
to Nuke ‘Em High, Vol. 1
has
it all – satire, sci-fi, plenty of Troma’s world famous green goo, themes of
anti-bullying and LGBT rights. If that isn’t enough, how about death by glee
club, high falls, meltdowns and fiery explosions? Wait there’s more! There’s
plenty of exposed teen viscera (and breasts!) and love triumphing over
prejudice. Just like The Breakfast Club,
Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and “Glee” – only 100% Troma style!
Return
to Nuke’Em High, Vol. 1
