Obsessed with that girl who picked her wedgie mid-scene.
One of the worst movies ever made. I loved it.
It certainly is no Friday the 13th! With that being said, I still really liked this. Every main character is a representative of a community themselves, whether it's the nerd, the jock, the flirt, or the virgin. It was so clearly inspired by more popular slashers in the couple of years that preceded this, but so much of it felt deeply Italian. There's a downright sickly prank enacted upon the campus, students sleeping with teachers, and a shockingly large amount of plastered walls with shoddy woodwork being done. This makes it feel more like something akin to Bay of Blood, or even something like Pieces. For that fact, I really loved what was going on here. It is pretty special, considering the fact that most of the people that worked on this film never went on to do much else, if at all. I'm sure the result wasn't exactly what they had intended, but I find it to be an endearing and entrancing time capsule of the early slasher subgenre.
Solid slasher. Very Straight forward.
It’s not for everyone, but if you like cheesy 80s slashers, this is a fun one.
