The premise

Eight different people are invited to their 10-year high school reunion at their now-closed down high school where a former student, disfigured from a prank gone wrong, is there to seek revenge.

Horror Vault's take

A decade after a cruel prank leaves a nerdy classmate horribly disfigured, a group of former high school tormentors receive mysterious invitations to a reunion at their long-shuttered alma mater. What begins as an awkward gathering quickly turns deadly as someone — or something — begins settling old scores one by one. Slaughter High leans hard into its slasher roots with inventive kills and a gleefully mean-spirited tone. It's vintage '80s horror that wears its low-budget heart proudly on its blood-soaked sleeve.
