"Yeah, well maybe if you were nicer to daddy he would've been able to get it up and then he wouldn't have killed himself!"

A five alarm trash fire, careening from high school outcast melodrama, to underage hooker sex farce, to hit woman pulp, to proto-serial killer nightmare like a Pinto with its brakes cut. How I just got around to ingesting something this pure in its ugly, single-minded pursuit of cheap, cheap thrills will remain a mystery, but I'm glad I finally did, as it's a new favorite. Jill Lansing: you have my heart. Just don't shoot me next.

I swear they play the theme to The People’s Court during the final scene.

Most Crown International Pictures are lighthearted fun. Malibu High is not lighthearted. It is loco as hell. It is the story of a high school girl turned hooker turned assassin. Ha! Just saying the plot makes me laugh.

The positives are the amble amounts of nudity and the cool fashions on display. I still can’t figure out why the lead, Jill Lansing never acted again. 

Malibu High is bonkers. If you like bonkers, chances are you might like it.

One thing I like about most low budget movies is that due to constraints on casting and time, a lot of scenes and particularly extras feel more real than bigger budget counterparts.  I was thinking this during the disco and school scenes.  Sure the acting and dialogue are bad, but everyone sure looks real.

So as has been said, ignore the poster.  This is a dark, dirty little after school special style story.  Our protagonist Kim is failing out of school due to general apathy and drinking/drugging.  Her solution is to seduce her teachers, start hooking and ultimately become a contract killer.  Hilarity does NOT ensue.

There is fun to be had here, this is just so unabashedly sleazy, dark and poorly acted that you just have to smile.  Oh and I could swear the people’s court ripped off the soundtrack toward the end.  Calling Judge Wapner!

Feels like an actual 70s high school-themed hardcore film, except with the inserts cut out of the print and plotted with the same sort of abrupt genre zigs and tonal zags that wouldn't be out of place in something by Steckler. A better portrait of the 70s high school experience than Dazed and Confused. Kim Bentley is my new role model. "I may be a hooker, but I'm not a hitgirl!"

I would be lying if I said that I don't LOVE the premise of this morally insane and bizarre sexploitation, coming-of-age, prostitute turned hit-woman, drive-in movie/grind-house film.

"You can screw the teachers, but you can't screw the school."

That's some killer advice, Mr. Donaldson. I've no doubt that Kim really took it to heart. Not the comedy that I was expecting from that poster, but that doesn't mean that I didn't find it funny.

It's the straight forward story of the girl that decides to sleep with her teachers to get good grades, becomes a hooker, gets a mafia pimp, and then starts to murder everyone that crosses her.

The line between pornography and mental hygiene film is mighty thin. Made me wish MASSACRE AT CENTRAL HIGH would finally get a Blu-ray release.

Jill Lansing's one hell of a trooper for popping off her top every second scene.

The chapter on Director Irvin Berwick in Stephen Thrower's NIGHTMARE USA is must-read stuff. Berwick was way past his prime when he made this one, and was being pushed around by a rich-kid producer, but his journey from the auteur of no-budget dramas to this kind of exploitation trash is harrowing.

Hilarious trash that popped up on Hulu about a senior girl that wants to graduate top of her class by becoming a hooker. It's the perfect example of so bad its good flick. I recommend this one for filthy sonofabitches only. No point in rating this shit anyway.

When the theme from The People's Court kicked in shit got real.

Freeway: Origins

It’s a short trip from high school hooker to serial killer, kids...

This just.... isn't for me. Lol it just isn't exciting at all and not much happens. Except gross 70s sex. 🤣

3.0/10

Freeway: Origins

First off...my inner 13 yr old boy is pissed I never saw this back in the day. Hahaha. Although poorly acted and not an over all great movie, there is some fantastically written dialogue and groovy cheesy 70s vibes. Terrifically trashy, this is basically a 70s exploitation film. Not bad, not good but just what I was looking for tonight.

Quite sleazy and cheap 70ies thriller drama about a teenage schoolgirl whos life takes a downward spiral into prostitution and crime. The high camp factor makes it very entertaining and one of Tarantinos (many) favorite movies... Great Vinegar Syndrome release!

Kim the high school killer.

6,5/10

There’s something innately enjoyable about these sleazy 70s dime store porno’s without the porn.

WHAT?!?!?

Also People’s Court

High school rebel becomes hooker because she hates everything and everyone. She bribes her way through grades and eventually it catches up to her. One of those movies where the cover art has nothing to do with the film. Not as charming as Angel, in fact, not charming at all save the 70s vibe being in full force. Very similar to some rebel teen HGL stuff.

“Maybe daddy wouldn’t have had to kill himself cos he couldn’t get it up anymore”

Oh boy. Not the raunchy comedy promised by the poster, but a thoroughly unpleasant and mean-spirited little drama about a schoolgirl who becomes — wait for it — first a hooker, and then a hit-woman. Catastrophically unsexy for a supposedly erotic movie, but oddly compelling in a sleazy soap opera kind of way.

It all ends with the most boring foot chase in cinema history, so that’s something, I guess.
