A nerd is harassed by punks, and is the object of ridicule at work. Enamoured by a co-worker, he buys a tape series on how to be cool, summons up his nerve, and goes to the co-worker's house, only to find her in the clutches of another co-worker. Dejected, he goes out on the town and parties with some babes, but when their friends, who turn out to be the same punks that harassed him earlier, trash him again something snaps, and the irritants in his life begin experiencing an attrition problem.

That was an excellent one.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Every now and then movies like Rocky, The Matrix and The Shawshank Redemption come along and revolutionize the way you look at the world and live your life. For me, Killer Nerd was one of these rare masterpieces. It's the Grand Epiphany. It reminds us to stand up for ourselves and defeat the scumbags that surround us on a daily basis, by "discombublating" them! We are who we are and shouldn't be ashamed of anything. If you're one of those people, like me, who can truly appreciate the beauty of a film like this, it becomes the gift of a lifetime; an escape from the evils of conformity! If you're one of those people who didn't like it, you weren't meant to see it in the first place and should stick to the garbage that you know and love. ~ As for the acting...BRILLIANT! Toby Radloff's performance is simply awe-inspiring. I mean, in a Perfect-World it would be actors like Toby Radloff getting nominated for Oscars, not stupid cows like Queen Latifah. To act is to be, right? And if that was truly the case, his performance was perfect. He is the ideal nerd.Killer Nerd is an entertaining, very fun B horror film! It kicks a*ss...plain and simple. Check it out!

I write this without even looking at previous comments, save the latest one available-Fellating the movie. 1-There is no gore for an HOUR. I have to sit here and listen to this guy talk for an hour and whine about how he can't get anyone before I get to see anything! and what's this? I don't really see anything anyway! Almost NO gore, this is a horror film, dammit!2-The film seems far too amateur, I probably shouldn't complain about this so much but it really lacks charm when the film looks like crap.3-The side characters are extremely boring, The only one I thought was okay was the dick co-worker, just because his character was so exaggerated.Avoid this movie, I wish I would've 1/10

Killer Nerd (1991) is an fun film that portrays the exploits of Harold Kunkle. Harold is your stereotypical nerd who just wants to fit in. But his unique behavior and dress makes him a social outcast in his community. No matter what he does or how hard he tries he just can't fit in. One day Harold has enough of the ribbing and beatings and decides to strike back.Toby Radloff stars as Harold Kunkle. He's perfect as the Killer Nerd. What keeps this movie from being better than average is the pacing of the film. It feels very padded out. I can deal with the tiny budget and the fact it was shot on video but they need to tighten this film. I guess they felt that they needed to make it at least 90 minutes. I can live with it being shorn of the padded scenes and what not (it's sequel is a much better film and it clocks in well under 80 minutes). I totally disagree with this film being the worse ever made. Watch Spine.Recommended."NERD, NERD, NERD, NERD!!!

The opening half is pretty slow (motives for the nerds madness, etc.), and use of the fast forward button is encouraged. That's because the nerds destructive rampage and the ending are side splittingly hilarious. Highlights: The nerd impersonating a cat and dressing in an enormous diaper, and of course the spectacular conclusion. Recommendation: assemble some friends, alter your mental state with the substance of your choice in the first half, and laugh yourself silly in the second. A fun evening for all.
