The Unbearable Lightness of a HALLOWEEN copy
FINAL EXAM could have been much worst. I’ve seen much worse than this. But what’s really odd about this HALLOWEEN copy is the fact that the producers copied almost everything about the John Carpenter film except for one major detail: the killer or the killer’s reason for killing. Ooopps! Something tells me that after watching the film, the producers couldn’t figure out exactly what they left out from HALLOWEEN. It’s quite obvious from a horror fan’s Point-of-View though. FINAL EXAM has some good moments, and even though it takes forever to get going, when the killer strikes, the film sorta becomes suspenseful. The problem is, we never know anything about why the murderer is going on this rampage, at this specific time, etc. They hint at a back-story (a girl committed suicide after she was refused by a sorority and we can assume that whoever’s doing the killings must be a relative) but that’s just not enough.

The thing that makes the original HALLOWEEN so great (forget the sequels) is that it builds a mystery around Michael Myers without telling us too much about him (which is the problem of the sequels). In FINAL EXAM, we know NOTHING about the killer. He looks like a prop guy who stood in for the killer. Had the producers actually written a reason for the killer’s motivations, I think this would have a been a passable flick. As it is right now, it’s just pointless.

The only really original aspect about FINAL EXAM is Radish, who’s so annoying that he actually becomes fun to watch. What a uber geek! Without Radish, FINAL EXAM would have been completely forgettable or as anonymous as those no-name products you find in a supermarket.Read More
