Eccentric entry in the 80’s slasher cycle
A psycho escapes from a mental hospital and embarks on a bloody rampage at Saint Trinian’s College. Several years later eager new teacher Julie Parker (a spunky and appealing portrayal by Forbes Riley) suspects that something is amiss after the killings begin anew.

Director Richard Haines relates the familiar, but still engrossing and enjoyable story at a steady pace, maintains an engaging oddball tone throughout, presents a colorful array of quirky characters (the male college kids in particular are a hilariously rowdy bunch of obnoxious louts), delivers several moments of jolting gory violence, and further spices things up with an amusing sense of offbeat dark humor. Moreover, the killer’s true identity is a total hoot while the slaying of the final gal at the end is genuinely shocking. Dick Biel contributes a solid turn as strict wheelchair-bound priest Father Janson. Right-on groovy shivery synthesizer score by Christopher Burke, too. A neat little slice’n’dice item.Read More
