This slasher pic from the 80's is fondly remembered by fans of the genre - but not by many others. Which is a shame - this film is on a level with the original Friday the 13th, way behind Halloween and probably a bit better than Prom Night.

One of the best slasher movies of the early 80s, a creepy, stylish thriller with a wonderfully extended and dazzling climax. Rosman was a student of DePalma and shows us with this film that he knows his stuff.

These sorority girls are pretty stupid. They kill their housemother by accident (leaving a live bullet in the chamber), weigh her down w/ some towels (WTF?) to sink her in the pool & decide to throw a party anyways. In typical slasher fashion the girls are killed off one by on...( read more)
