Am I Missing Something?

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Group of teenagers partying inside a college after the last day of final exams, fall prey to a killer. It appears to be a mental patient with history of violence and murder that has just recently escaped and raped a young woman. The first half of this film is intense & exciting and very entertaining as well. However, the second half gets more absurd with every passing minute however.Rated R; Graphic Violence and Profanity.

Out here in the US, this film is called SCHOOL'S OUT. When I rented it, I had no idea that it was a German movie. And when I started it, I knew something was wrong. The dubbing on this tape is very poorly done. Why the hell didn't they just subtitle the damn thing? By the end of the first hour, things have finally picked up, and then we are merely confused. But, by the end of this tripe, everything explains itself. SCHOOL'S OUT gets 3/5 because it was so poorly dubbed.

When reading most of the user comments here one thing becomes obvious: The problem with this film is that it is too mature for its target audience who only seem to be interested in butcher scenes. But if you belong to those viewers who are interested in other aspects in horror films you should give this movie a chance.

I don't think people should totally hate this film, it was actually trying to add some atmosphere to the usual teen slasher flick. I like the eerie music and setting, but there is a lot of badly dubbed dialogue, and the twists really get out of hand at the end. Plus, it is not very gory. I was quite disappointed when I saw this film. I was really looking forward to it, after reading a big article about it in an issue of "Fangoria" a few months ago. There were too many confusing plot twists and logic loopholes. Rent this one and see for yourself, some may like it and some may not. Up to you.
