Synapse Films started the week off with a pleasant surprise via their Facebook page when they announced that they will be releasing Massacre at Central High on DVD and Blu-ray sometime in 2016. Per the post Synapse has already begun work on a completed HD transfer supervised by director Rene Daalder. Synapse is still tracking down the original audio elements and will be doing some additional picture restoration. No word yet on what extras will be included but we can certainly expect that there will be plenty.
Needless to say, this is pretty fantastic news. Anytime a cult film can be saved from the trash heap and carried over to the beautiful world of HD movie lovers everywhere should find reason to celebrate. And if Synapse is the company responsible, all the better.
Synopsis:
A high school transfer student, pushed to the edge by a trio of brutal bullies, resorts to murder to reclaim the school from oppression, and later turns against the students wanting to fill the vacuum of their oppressors.
