Malibu High

This is a must own. Even if you own this on one of many budget boxed sets - it looks and sounds amazing. Watching the VS bluray is like a first viewing.Great exploitation. Notable among the cast is Alex Mann (billed here as... I forgot). Anyway, he had another career in some of the roughest and infamous adult movies of all time, including Sometimes Sweet Susan (immortalized in Taxi Driver) and the even more infamous The Defiance of Good (starring Joe Spinell's wife, Jean Jennings, fresh from a Sean S. Cunningham soft core quickie and Jim and Artie Mitchell's Autobiography of a Flea who was STILL underage! Fred Lincoln and Jamie Gillis also co-star- a rough bunch, indeed.). Needless to say it'll never see a DVD release. His characters are invariably along the lines of "Rapist #2".(Apologies for the above trivia tangent)Mann brings this "roughie" frisson to this film - very effective. Of course there are some (intentionally) hilarious lines - eminently quotable.Directed by Irv Berwick (best known for the infamous Hitch Hike to Hell).One of California's greatest homegrown sleaze-shows. Jill Lansing, who plays the lead, never made another movie - too bad because she's the ultimate exploitation anti-heroine.

This movie shows how a normal young lady can be seduced by a man with shady intent. It also shows how the fast life can lead to downfall.

I had higher hopes for this "film". Three minutes in, the topless main actress gets out of bed before school and lights up a cigarette first thing. Sadly, it was all downhill from there. I don't know if it was the tired cliche girl loses boyfriend, girl sleeps with teachers for A's, girl starts prostituting herself, girl starts murdering people or if it was just bad acting and directing. We may never know the truth. All I know is it took a lot of effort to get past the initial 20 minutes that I now regret putting out that effort to stay in for the rest. If you want some classic 70's camp, go with "The Van".

This is another one of those "got to be seen to be believed" movies. Don't be fooled by the cover; this is definitely not a typical teen beach movie, or a "beach" movie at all. The woman on the cover is not actually in the movie; first-time actress Jill Lansing demanded to be paid extra for her image on the film poster, so they producers just found some model instead. In this film, Lansing goes from indifferent high school student to enticing her teachers with sex to get better grades to making easy cash hooking on the side to getting better pay hooking full-time to killing a john to agreeing to be a "hit" person to killing people who get in her way, including the school principal who is not fooled by her sudden improvement from F to A student. According to the audio commentary, Lansing was a demanding diva on-set, but it is clear that she had no problem doing what was asked of her, including frequent doffing of her top; in fact her nonchalant attitude is what makes this film so fascinating. Lansing apparently never appeared in another film; it is noted in the audio commentary that Universal offered her a contract, but when Universal refused her demand to be allowed to direct films, she just walked away from it.

Kinda boring, really. I loved all the old movies from the 1980's, the dumb high school movies...like Joysticks, Spring Break, and Hogwild....not the one with Tim Allen...the old dumb one. All of those movies were a lot of fun, and I expected this to be the same. Anyway...it's not one of those.

Wonderfully awful movie, i loved it even though it's crappy

Cool movies, great addition to my movies collection.

Fun and entertaining movie from the era.
