high school student paula carson be adore by her jerk of a boyfriend and dwight ingalls and but new eye have catch her attention . brian wood and a quiet loner who have just be release from a mental hospital after be there for the mysterious death of his father . not too long people be disappear and body be pile up at wurley high and brian be first to be accuse by dwight because of his disturb past . although dwight have be lose it lately and now paula be put in the situation of find out who be tell the truth . now the memory be flood back . think of homework and uptight teacher and a weird headmaster and obnoxious twit and a deranged loner and some murdering . what in the name . yeah cut class be a forgettable and be there do that and lame high school slasher . despite that suggestion at least it never bore and and it slightly entertain a it breeze by quite easily . the pain be virtually bearable and but a top cast with middle performance make little headway in this low end 80 slasher effort . the main problem here be that it try really hard for a funny bone and then it would turn all serious and but it just doesn not come off with the right result . it just too stupid to be funny and ridiculous to be take straight . it just can not win . what shape it be the hopeless charm that scrap the surface with it campy frame and fine turn by the reliable roddy mcdowall and the extremely lovely jill schoelen ( stepfather and popcorn ) . martin mull even appear in his own little ( if meaningless ) side story a some sort of comic relief character . donavan leitch do fine in his spooky star down pose . sure the main curiosity for this flick would be that of a young brad pitt . his performance be very lacking and but fan of his might still check it out a his a main lead . all he do be leech about and his cocky character be just too unlikeable to care for . the plot be weak while that there not much to hang a story off ( and still there be hole . ) and to throw you off track and a the red herring be downright ineffective . just who be commit these murder . well and it doesn not take an einstein to figure out and a it basically telegraph to you . it follow a derivative style of every other slasher flick . clichés be not excuse . the dialogue be lousy and despite it tongue in cheek tone and hammy one liner . kill it be a funky 80 soundtrack that you do not want to purchase after hear it . the semi professional production look adequate and it sport a colourful and brightly light decor . the direction by rospo pallenberg be stale and tensionless . wait to your eye see one idiotic climax involve power tool and an unbelievably rash decision by the killer . the cruel death be unimaginative and have little and if no blood and gore . those look for obligatory nude flash have to cope with blink and you miss it moments . a real lemon of a flick and but still i find this mindless slasher watchable thank you schoelen .
