Watch Demolition High For Free

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Over the years, I had heard that this Corey Haim movie had managed to build something of a cult. So when it was given a budget re-release recently in a DVD pack of eight movies, I decided to give it a look. After watching it, I honestly can't figure out why there are people who like it. Haim (an actor who has never impressed me) is a poor leading man, who seems bewildered throughout and delivers awful one-liners in a sleepy style. And with Jim Wynorski directing - a director who hasn't impressed me much more than Haim over the years - the entire enterprise feels really cheap and sluggish, from the obvious stock footage and threadbare production values to the utterly routine action. As the movie progresses, you will feel more tired with every passing minute. Yet as I said, the movie still has managed to build a cult, which might explain why a sequel (!) got released the following year. I guess you can never be sure what will make moviegoers happy.

Remember Toy Soldiers? Well, add Jim Wynorski and a low-budget and you get the picture. With more action, too. I'd call this Corey Haim's comeback performance. He's been in so many cheesy movies, we had all wondered. Demolition High is a fine action film in the mold of Die Hard...in school. School sucked, but this one seems better. And you got a whole slew of cameos. Some of the death scenes are inventive, too = 1. terrorist flying into band saw 2. lady terrorist getting stabbed by a ton of pencils shot from a fire extinguisher. My only complaint: there's like a total of 20 kids at this entire school. What, was Wynorski short of extras? Jim, throw me in part three, please!

Demolition High I thought was a good movie. It was entertaining and fun. It was fun to watch how Lenny Slatter picked apart every bad guy trying to take over the school. I was shocked that I liked this movie. It's very rare for me to like these kind of movies. I give this movie *** out of ****

This movie which rehashes the tired plot of terrorists taking over a high school, has some of the worst special effects I've seen outside an Ed Wood feature. Alan Thicke ("Growing Pains" Dad) uses profanity, so that's kind of funny. Wait! This isn't a comedy...never mind.
