**_A (superior) Massacre at Central High_** An underprivileged teen (J. Eddie Peck) attends an upper-class school near the coast in SoCal where a group of students, organized by a teacher who’s a Vietnam vet, guard the school from thuggish behavior. The leader of the Sentinels (John Stockwell) tries to woo him into his increasingly arrogant group. “Dangerously Close” (1986) had the same producer as "Massacre at Central High" from ten years prior. I point this out because the plots & settings are similar, albeit this one doesn’t have the awkward twist of the second half of “Massacre” and is an all-around improvement. It’s similar to "Tuff Turf" from the previous year, but more focused (“Tuff Turf” is entertaining, but tried to be too many things). There are also bits reminiscent of "Eddie and the Cruisers," minus the band angle. The soundtrack is a highlight, featuring 80’s pop rock and new wave bands, with notable songs like “Stripped” by Depeche Mode and “Blood and Roses” by The Smithereens. Carey Lowell is serviceable on the female front, as are Dedee Pfeiffer and Karen Lorre, but not enough is done with them. On the other side of the spectrum, Don Michael Paul is effective as a member of the Sentinels marked by “toxic masculinity.” If you like similar 80’s teen movies like "Valley Girl" and "The Karate Kid," you should appreciate this undeservedly obscure one. It influenced "Some Kind of Wonderful," which came out the next year, but focuses on the intense clash of the male students rather than romance. The film runs 1 hour, 35 minutes, and was shot in the greater Los Angeles area, including Glendale (high school), Malibu Creek State Park in Calabasas, Marina del Rey and Redondo Beach. GRADE: B+
