I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Did you people see the same film I saw?

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

This is a very cheesy campy slasher film from the 80s that grabs some viewers attention. although this film has no value, and no thought out plot, theirs is still somethings to like. the pace is tame it doesn't rush into the film, it takes time, to get to the sequence, the music is pretty suspenseful. one bad thing that actually makes the movie good is the really bad dialog that that makes the movie laughable and enjoyable all at the same time. this film surely is not perfect but it makes for a great, movie to get some good jumps and laughs out of.

You remember that interview where Vanilla Ice tried to explain why he didn't steal Queen/David Bowie's "Under Pressure?"I'd like to hear whoever did the music for this movie to explain how they added a "da na na" to the theme from Halloween. Then again, there's plenty more that this movie owes to that film.A killer with a kitchen knife is on the prowl, killing off college kids. And he's on the way to Lanier College during finals.Meanwhile, a fraternity stages a mass shooting to help their members pass a chemistry test. How does this plan work? Who comes up with such a plan?While students prepare for the end of the year, the killer is hiding among them. We have Courtney, who is the Final Girl, of course. Her roommate is Lisa, who is all into the hot professor. Well, not really hot. He's a professor, though.For some reason, all of the pledges can't dare anyone. But Gary is in love with Janet and pins her, so he gets punished by being tied up to a tree, his underwear filled with ice and then sprayed with shaving cream. What? Where did this ritual come from? Who goes through with this? Even the rest of the town, like the security guard, follow these rules. What is the deal with this school?Well, he's tied up and the killer gets him. Then it gets his girlfriend, too. While that's going on, Wildman, a frat guy, is looking for pain pills when he gets killed by a Universal weight machine. His friend Mark tries to find him and he gets killed.Then we have Radish, who isn't gay in the movie but would totally be a proud out character if this was made after 1981. He's constantly looking for killers and has a great poster collection of old films. All his knowledge of murder doesn't help, as he's instantly killed.Lisa tries to model for her boyfriend in the nude, but she gets killed, too. And now we're down to one and the killer even catches an arrow and stabs the coach with it when he tries to save Courtney. But then he falls into a hole and she stabs him to death. That's it. That's the fight he puts up.Written and directed by Jimmy Huston (My Best Friend Is a Vampire), this is pretty much Halloween with a killer who was too lazy to get a mask (he was also the fight coordinator for the film).That said, I wasn't bored, I laughed out loud at many of the things that Radish did and said, and I enjoyed the arrow catching scene. You'll be filled with questions. Like, how much chaffing did the short shorts of the 80's cause?

A psycho killer shows up on college campus to slash up pretty co-eds and dumb jocks.This is not one of the better known slasher films out there, despite it coming out early on in the genre (1981). Why? Perhaps the lack of name actors or director? Most likely what makes it obscure is the same thing that makes it better than the average slasher: they tried to actually have real characters.Sure, we all like when the mean girls and boys get hacked up without ever really getting to know them. And that has its place. But then you also have this gem, where the killing is such a small part of the story (even with a high body count) that they rarely show it on camera.Now, with the Scream Factory Blu-Ray the picture and sound are better than ever (though, for first-timers like myself this may not be obvious). And there is a nice assortment of interviews and commentary on the disc, too, for fans who want to know a little bit more.

Take every worn-out cliché about slasher films, scrap up some truly horrible looking and terrible acting "kids", and blatantly steal pivotal scenes from much better done flicks - put them all in a blender and you have "Final Exam". Seriously, the only thing scary about this film are the terrible 80's outfits and even worse hair. The killer is just a killer with no motive, no backstory, nothing! Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but this man has nothing remotely threatening about him. There is ZERO atmosphere, ZERO gore, and ZERO interesting characters. Special Effects do not exist in this film. These are the lamest bunch of kids that make even the most mundane slasher films' cardboard characters look intricate. This movie will try even the most hardcore 80's Slasher Fan's patience.
