Warning: Spoilers
I was always a fan of exploitation cinema,Malibu high is a real bottom of the barrel thriller that has no well known stars but it is a thriller.Jill Lansing plays a high school senior who turns out to be a sociopathic killer.it is unsettling at times but it is a pretty good b movie made by crown international,a sort of rival of American international pictures.i actually first seen this on commercial television where it was cut up.the next time i saw it i rented it from the local video rental store.yeah the old VHS.i saw all the parts they had cut out you know the nudity the language some kill scenes.its very dated now since it was made in the 70s,during the disco era.Jill Lansing was fairly attractive,too bad she never made any more movies that i know of,oh there's an abusive pimp who works in a customized van,brothel on wheels.and yes there's disco music,pot smoking and creeps a plenty,i really don't give spoilers,so i don't want to start now but i enjoyed Malibu high,and its sort of sequel the graduates of Malibu high(aka;the young warriors)too bad crown international went under during the late 1980s,they turned out some pretty good b movies,Malibu high gets b plus grades,7 out of 10.
