There’s something strange going on at the graffiti-covered Lincoln High, as teachers are carrying loaded guns, and the students have to walk through a metal detector before they enter the classroom. Before long, the school’s new music teacher, Andrew Norris, will learn firsthand that it’s even worse than it looks, as the drug-plagued institution is the territory of the charismatic Peter Stegman and his brutal gang of crazed followers. Now, under those dire circumstances, it’s only a matter of time before the professor and the pupil lock horns, with unforeseen consequences. But, do drastic times call for drastic measures? In the end, is there a cure for violence? |

I saw it when it came out on VHS and love it. Maybe I’ll give it another goo
First time viewing for me, id definitely watch again.
there’s a couple of Blu-ray rips available.. wish id caught it on VHS back in the day. surprised it went under my radar so long.
yes me too, under your radar that is. All my teenage friends talked about it and told their friends it’s a must see. I haven’t given it another chance as for many movies that I thought were good when I was young I will watch now and wonder what I ever saw in it. I’m afraid it will be the case in this one too. I’m going to put it on my watch list and on some Sunday when there is nothing else to watch I’ll watch it again. Thanks for bringing it to my attention again 😀
