The Take
Duck! The Carbine High Massacre is not worth watching. It is pure edgelord slop that exploits the Columbine massacre for neo-Nazi revenge fantasies played as black comedy.
The film glorifies two bullied teens who commit a school shooting then suicide, framing the bloodbath as cathartic spectacle just months after the real event.
The Verdict
This is bottom-shelf exploitation that weaponizes a fresh national trauma for cheap laughs and contrarian cred. The timing alone makes it radioactive, and the content delivers exactly the tasteless edge-lord fantasy the title promises.
Skip it.
