Netflix Classic: Video
Game High
School
Have you ever watched a movie so bad you wondered what were
those people thinking? I do this all the time. In fact you can read my previous
blog about ‘Sharknado’ it was the worst movie I have ever seen. Which has
inspired me to start a log of all the movies I watch that are just down-right
horrible, most of them are F-list horror movies with cooky titles found on
Netflix, hence the label “Neflix Classics”. Every Saturday you can find
my latest “Netflix Classic” review right here on my Mountain FM Blog.

Game High
School (2012)
My boyfriend and his friends love this movie. They quote it
regularly, it drives me crazy.
Video Game High School is the result of an incredibly successful
Kickstarter campaign, like most other ‘Netflix Classics’ you won’t find any
really familiar names in the cast list; except maybe the guy from Epic Meal
Time (Harley Morenstein) and even that is pushing it.
Video Game High School was originally a web series
and then edited into a really, really long two-hour movie. A second series is
now being released on

As much as the boys love this movie, I really don’t
understand the appeal of Video Game High School. The premise of the movie is
pretty basic; it is an underdog story about a futuristic high school student
fighting for his place at an elite school that swaps out sports for video
games. Don’t worry, they cover all types of video games; from shooters to music
there is a place for all gamer kids at this school.
The dialogue is kitschy to say the least. I would give you a
few quotes here, but I really don’t think reading them in type does their silliness
justice. I have no idea who the target is for this movie, it is too violent to
be a kid’s movie and it is way too out there to attract adults. I am guessing
this is the perfect movie for teens or twenty-something guys who wish they
could have attended a high school centered on video games.
Watch the trailer below, if you’re not a fan than you most
likely should stay away from this Netflix Classic. If it looks like your cup of
tea, groovy I hope you enjoy it! Video
Game High
School is in the process of releasing the second
season of webisodes, so I am sure a sequel is in the works.
There
are few things I am excited about right now, to be honest with you.
