Bad casting choice...

I like Virginia Madsen but let's face it- she was waaaay too old to be playing a college freshman in this. The movie itself wasn't the worst thing ever (nor was it very good) but the scenes with Madsen and just about any of the rest of the "students" only served to magnify the fact that she was significantly older....

Well if you didn't believe her as a college freshman, then I guess it's even harder to believe that the private school was a high school. Hence the title "Zombie HIGH".

Naw, she played an 18 year-old just fine. I've seen way worse example of people in their 20s or 30s (and 40s!) trying to pull off a high school student.
