Crap, 23 September 2004

Author: Bryce David

This is one lame excuse for a horror movie.

Female students are systematically killed in unimaginative ways (even though the filmmakers believe they're imaginative) by someone who drives a motorcycle and wears a helmet, as to hide the identity of the killer (which I figured out 10 minutes into the movie).

NIGHT SCHOOL is not a horror movie but more of a sucky Giallo or a bloody soap opera. Nothing memorable about it except for the fact that it's totally unmemorable.

And Rachel Ward is one bad actress.

Not worth watching, even for horror film completists.
