Return to Nuke 'Em High (Volume 1) is a 2013 horror-comedy movie directed by Lloyd Kaufman. The movie is a sequel to the 1986 cult classic film, Class of Nuke 'Em High. The movie stars Asta Paredes, Catherine Corcoran, and Vito Trigo in leading roles. The movie is set in a high school called Tromaville High School. The school is built on the site of the former Tromaville Institute of Technology, which was known for its nuclear research. The movie follows the lives of two lesbian high school students, Chrissy (Asta Paredes) and Lauren (Catherine Corcoran), as they navigate their way through high school, dealing with bullies and a corrupt school administration.
The movie begins with the Tromaville High School Glee Club trying to raise funds for the school by selling "weed" laced with a new chemical called "ripple". While the students start to consume the "weed" and "ripple" during their lunch break, they start to mutate into hideous monsters with tentacles and other grotesque features. The monstrous students start to wreak havoc on the school, attacking other students and teachers.
Meanwhile, Chrissy and Lauren are experiencing relationship problems due to Lauren's involvement with the Glee Club. They soon discover that the Glee Club's activities are connected to the mutant outbreak at the school. The corrupt school administration is trying to cover up the incident to protect their funding from the government.
The movie is full of over-the-top gore and humor, with plenty of nods to the original Class of Nuke 'Em High. The film tackles several social issues, including LGBT rights, bullying, and the negative effects of nuclear power.
Asta Paredes and Catherine Corcoran deliver solid performances as the leading couple, portraying their characters with both humor and sensitivity. Vito Trigo also stands out as the sleazy school principal.
The movie's visuals are reminiscent of the grindhouse films of the 1970s, with grainy footage and bright, bold colors. The special effects are also impressive, with a good mix of practical effects and CGI.
