#NIGHTOWL REVIEWS MOVIE#
The movie didn’t get rerun on your TV station’s night owl theater. By the dawn of the home video era, it was a title that could scare store owners since movie features students getting killed in high school by classmates.
The movie came out in 1976, but didn’t become a true cult hit until 1980 when it was reissued to theaters.
One film that was elusive to me was Massacre at Central High. You’d read about films and never find them for rent. A controversial film could easily be skipped over by a store that wanted to be seen as family friendly or at least not known for attracting that type of audience. Even in the era of the Mom & Pop Video stores, tracking down a cult title could be a tricky and frustrating business. Back before the internet had the ability to stream video, you’d hear about certain movies and find it nearly impossible to track down a copy of the film.
