...Fatal Games would be their campy offspring!
Students attending an athlete academy are getting speared by a mad javelin thrower!
Other than the clever choice of weapon, Fatal Games doesn't add anything new to the slasher genre. It follows a very routine plot, which at times becomes quite repetitious and the cast is pretty weak. It has a completely dated 80's style - the cast even wears leg warmers! The javelin murders (hah, good alternate title!) are fairly gore-free and I dare say darkly funny at times. The revelation of the killer's identity is surprising though the motive is pretty silly. There's also plenty of female nudity on display though, if that's how you get your kicks.
Over all, clichés and cheese abound but it's still not the worst of its kind.
* 1/2 out of ****
