Disappointing film that, as niethie already indicated, trades its credibility for a caricatural effect halfway through.
Especially after the "bullies" are out of the way, all the other students suddenly start behaving extremely. It's a shame, because the strong beginning is so skillfully ruined.

A surprisingly good revenge film that manages to be original, both in its story development and the murders. The kills are presented differently, and the order and pacing surprise the viewer. Somewhere toward the middle, you feel like the film is almost over, but then the story takes a completely different approach that you don't see coming and is quite acceptable and original. Derrel Maury as David is good in his role, and the young Andrew Stevens already plays his signature role. Ray Underwood as Bruce disappears perhaps a bit too quickly,, but on the other hand, it manages to surprise. There are other interesting characters, sometimes a bit overblown, but that's precisely what made it interesting given the film's concept. Another plus is the attention to nudity, with one of the main characters, Theresa (Kimberly Beck), flashing her beautiful breasts twice. 7/10

Highly recommended for fans of films like Class of 1984. A thriller about bullies being dealt with at a high school. It seems like nothing new, but there's a nice twist that makes it a bit more interesting. It's also quite original that there are no adults (teachers, parents, police), which could symbolize a lack of control. Despite the word "Massacre" in the title, this is neither a slasher nor a horror film. I do give the film low ratings here, but I don't really understand why, because even with the slow pace, I found it highly entertaining.
