Title: Don't be too critical
Review: Don't be too critical of this flick. I've recently discovered Randal Malone to be quite entertaining, if not over the top at times, and consistent with making the rounds in B Horror; and he was creepy in this one. Yes, dimbulb college morons get killed off in this (like about five thousand other slasher flicks) and some can act and some are just eye candy like in Hell Night, Halloween, Friday the 13th and a Nightmare on Elm Street. This one leans more toward Prom Night (1980) or Deadly Lessons, though, with its level of gore and characterizations. It IS shot on video (a high def camera, I believe, if the crisp image is any indication) but as any horrorhound knows this isn't necessarily a bad thing (The Ripper from 1985 remains the low bar here). There is no new ground here (sorry Saw fans) and victims die because they're stupid. This is a fair little film and I keep hearing Randal Malone ask, "Why are you here?" in that distant, myopic voice that reminds me of Vinent Price.
Is the review positive or negative?
