*Sigh* The good old days
14 December 1998 | by (Iowa) – See all my reviews

I love the new 90s slasher films out, but with the films in the past I wish I was born in the 70s! Films like this, Graduation Day and Friday the 13th are such great movies to watch!

on the subject of this film, it's great. While it hardly has any murders in it, it's just fun to watch! The killer is surprising and what happens to him (or her!) is suprising too. The plot too is cool (The killer decapitating girls and putting their heads in water). I'd recommend it, but if you don't like films that hardly have any murders, don't watch this.
