Cat Terror in High School is an American horror comedy released in 2005.
action
Danielle, Tiffany, and Brooke are the three most popular and meanest students in high school. While the leader Danielle is used to getting what she wants, she is unable to win over the lonely ex-athlete Drew as he mourns his girlfriend Charity Chase who passed away a year ago. Although Charity was believed to have killed itself, it was not because Danielle, Tiffany, and Brooke lured Charity to a slope and killed her there.
On the first anniversary of Charity's death, the new Romanian exchange student Katarina joins the class of the clumsy media science teacher Mr. Chauncey. Katarina and Drew immediately become friends. Danielle is jealous of Katarina and does everything in her power to prevent the friendship from turning into love. To be close to him, Danielle works in a retirement home where Drew also works. She is supposed to take care of a lady who she thinks is in a coma. Danielle, Tiffany and Brooke take the opportunity to take the lady's chocolate from the closet and finish it off.
In the following two weeks, the three students notice that something strange is happening to them. They get back pain and their hair turns gray - they are shocked to find that they are aging at a rapid pace. They believe that this has something to do with Katarina, who they imagine is the returned ghost of the late Charity Chase and is now seeking revenge. You also communicate this to Katharina, who resolutely rejects this. The three decide that the only way to regain their youth is to kill Drew so his soul can join charity.
On the night Danielle celebrates her 18th birthday, the three lure Drew to the same place where they killed Charity. Danielle threatens him with a gun. Then Katharina comes and confirms that she is not Charity's ghost. Danielle thinks about it for a moment, but then decides to kill them anyway. Brooke thinks the three have gone too far and tries to stop Danielle. When Danielle shoots Katarina, she bleeds and Danielle realizes that Katarina is not a ghost. Drew manages to take the gun from Danielle. The disguised Mr. Chauncey is also shot in the skirmish. Danielle and Tiffany eventually collapse from exhaustion.
The two are admitted to a retirement home. Tiffany is hooked on machines and Danielle is barely alive. Then the elderly lady from the retirement home appears, whom Danielle was supposed to take care of. She reveals that she was Charity's grandmother and that while she was unable to speak during her time in the retirement home, she could hear and see well what Danielle said about Charity's murder. She says that she poisoned the chocolate she knew the girls would eat with a chemical aging agent that she got from a friend's husband. While Danielle and Tiffany ate most of the poisoned chocolate, Brooke was more in control and therefore consumed less poison. Danielle shows the lady the middle finger and dies.
All of the main characters are present at Danielle and Tiffany's funeral. Drew and Katarina are now a couple, and Brooke, who looks about 50 years old after having had plastic surgery, is now with Mr. Chauncey, who has forgiven her for being the one with the least guilt.
Danielle and Tiffany are now in a luxuriously furnished house, believing they are in heaven. Then, however, the classmate appears who has always plagued Danielle the most with his unfulfilled love, and it turns out that he killed himself so that he could always be with Danielle. So it is now clear to both of them that they are in hell.
