Standard slasher fare, but worthwhile for genre fans
I bought this on DVD without ever seeing it before and it was a worthwhile purchase. I won't reiterate the plot here, but I was impressed with this film's transfer considering its age. The images appear crisp and detailed, the colour is strong and consistent and there are only a tiny bit of scratches and spots throughout, most noticeably near the end. The audio was hard to distinguish in spots however. <

>The direction is standard for a slasher film, although there are quite a few effective and creepy scenes, notably the first few minutes of the film which take place in a mental institution. The night scenes outside the campus are very well handled, while the party scenes are standard but watchable. The sound effects were also well done. <
> <
>Some of the actors appear inexperienced, especially the one who plays Peter Krizaniac. He should be embarrassed, along with some others trying to goof off for the camera, it's almost like they are attempting to ruin the film. Acting like an idiot certainly does not impress most viewers. However, Lauren-Marie Taylor (from Friday the 13th Part 2) and Julie Montgomery both do an excellent job and are quite believable in their roles. <

>The amount of blood and gore is not quite enough for my personal taste, though it may have been hampered due to the low budget or post production cuts. The body count is too low for my liking but overall it was an enjoyable film. <

>Media Blasters should be congratulated for adding the bonuses; the original title sequence appears as well as the original trailer featuring the girl who appears on the cover (but is not in the film), an interview with Julie Montgomery and trailers for a few other films. It would have been better to hear a director's commentary however. <
> <
>The interview was rather disappointing. I wanted to know more of the film's background, and Julie just basically said it was a fun time. What about when it was filmed, when was the theatrical release, how long did it take to film, what was the director like, were there any scenes cut out of the final product, etc. She even starts talking about being in Revenge of the Nerds, which has absolutely nothing to do with this. <
> <
>The package is quite excellent, I have to disagree with the person who said the cover makes it look like an early 90s film. I admit the spine of the DVD looks lurid, with the pink colours and a small image of a girl putting lipstick on, but the image on the cover is only a slight variation of the the original VHS release. The original typecase would've been better, but I think it is quite well done. <
> <
>If you are a fan of the other early 1980s slashers, this is a worthwhile purchase. Average horror fans will likely not enjoy it.

Not the Average Slasher
I see some people on other sites giving this film a bad review when most of them werent probably even Born when this came out. The 80s had copycat films sure, ALL years usually cash in on whats hot. The Ghost House films are big NOW...Hollywood is cashing in on remaking horror movies from japan....and in the 90s disaster films reigned the box office so its no different for the 80s. One slasher comes out that does well then people jump on the bandwagon. Thing is MOST were all just hack n slash, bit of nudity, the end...Well, this film really embodies the 80s if you want a retro look back this one does it WELL. It isnt the goriest nor does it have ANY nudity but the film still relies on the typical "twist" at the end and the creative killer making a creative weapon to kill victims with. Sure some with compare the killer here to freddy as fred had knives on his glove as here the killer is dressed in the mascot's costume which is a bear costume and the killer is shown making claws out of steak knives. Well both "Nightmare on Elm Street" and "Girls Nite Out" both came out in 1984 so the similarities are rare here. The film is a typical slasher from the 80s and it carries itself fairly well for its time. Is it cheesy now? Sure because the films NOW take themselves WAY too seriously except for the Scream series. But this was a time when things were different. If you want a decent slasher that is a little tame on the gore but maintains that 80s feel this is the film for you. I gave it five stars because I LOVED the 80s and this one brings back memories of that era.
