Rather like what one would expect from a made-for-tv slasher.
Interesting Canuxploitation slasher gem filmed in Montreal. It features some inventive kills and a group of teen characters that are a bit more fleshed out than the usual slasher cast. However, its ending takes a sharp left turn that feels a bit tacked-on.
Standard killer on campus movie until the last 20mins, where it just goes bat shit nonsense and throws the entire movie under the bus, script n all.
Some interesting kills but the ending is complete nonsense.
Not too bad ,it keeps throwing you off in this whodunnit horror. Alas, it's quite easy to figure out who the real killer is which the studio apparently thought so too. Therefore an extra twist was added at the end, which is just bonkers..

My, how time changes us... I recall this being "one of the best ever" 'Horror' movies I had ever seen back when it came out in the 80's. Watched it today again and it was so lame in EVERY aspect. I seem to remember the kills being much more inventive and gruesome (trust me, they're not!) and now this is almost laughable. I was tempted to turn it off with the opening scene where "Virginia" (Melissa Sue Anderson) screeches to herself, "Come, Winston, give Mommy head! haaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!" I thought to myself, "If this is a precursor to how the acting is going to be, I should just quit right now..." Unfortunately, I didn't. Although touted as a "horror/slasher" movie, this is more like a whodunnit that wants to be a horror movie. And the "reveal" is far too early in the film; I was quite surprised/disappointed in how quickly they gave this one away...and afterwards, there was nothing left but to wait out the conclusion which took farrrrrrrrrrrrr too long to arrive. Save yourself 2 agonizing hours - they're better spent in a dentist's chair or at the DMV - of sitting through this horrendous tripe. There is absolutely nothing remotely "scary" or horrific about this one.
