_**Fun boarding school mystery/horror with a dash of comedy**_
A girl decides to go to a prep school on a scholarship (Virginia Madsen), which displeases her cool beau (James Wilder). He warns her with rumors of a diabolical covenant the faculty has, but she dismisses it until strange things help her to see otherwise. Sherilyn Fenn plays a student and Richard Cox a sympathetic teacher.
“Zombie High” (1987) is a mixture of two future movies: “Disturbing Behavior” (1998) and a little “Dead Poets Society” (1989) albeit with a wink of humor & camp. There’s also a bit o’ “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” (1956/1978). The title is somewhat misleading since you won’t see a school full of literal zombies, yet it’s applicable in another way.
It’s nice to see Virginia when she was so young (25 during shooting) and Fenn doesn’t hurt.
The film runs 1 hour, 33 minutes, and was shot at School of Cinema-Television, USC, Los Angeles, California.
