Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
Protraph Lack of good storyline.
Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
idontneedyourjunk A girl goes to boarding school, where the girls start getting murdered, and all the male staff are suspects. Quite possibly the biggest anti-climatic ending I've ever seen in a horror/whodunnit movie.Bill plays a stablehand who is supposed to be the love interest with the main actress (according to the script), but their interaction consists of hanging out for about 10 minutes talking while Bill brushes down the horses, sharing one kiss, then they part forever.Actors include: Donna Reed, famous for the Donna Reed Show (if you didn't watch TV in the 50s, you probably don't know it) Ally Sheedy, (most famous from The Breakfast Club) who played a serial killer in the highly-recommended sitcom Psych and was most recently in X-Men: Apocalypse.Larry Wilcox, who co-starred in CHiPS, he also plays a cop in this movie Nancy Cartwright, who became famous for voicing many, many cartoons, including Chuckie from Rugrats, and Bart from The Simpsons TLDR; silly movie. give it a miss.
cultfilmfreaksdotcom There's a hint of cinematic exploitation in this made for TV movie about a boarding school full of pretty rich girls stalked by a phantom killer. Enter Diane Franklin as the new girl, taking everything in with a naïve, vulnerable expression and meeting each character along with the audience. There's Ally Sheedy as a rich girl and a host of others, including Bart Simpson's voice Nancy Cartwright, most getting picked off by a mysterious killer within the Southern plantation style campus.The mystery aspect works good – it's hard to tell who the culprit might be. Perhaps Bill Paxton as a seemingly kindhearted horse-trainer or the classy French teacher. Our only hope in stopping the killings, which occur mostly off screen (if you don't jot down each victim's names you'll forget who dies or lives), is Larry Wilcox as a local plainclothes investigator with a chip on his shoulder and a particular dislike for pompous school owner Donna Reed.An intriguing body count premise where the spoiled beauties, like in any horror film template, are put through the ringer. And the "who done it" finale turns out somewhat creative.For More Reviews: www.cultfilmfreak.com
mancalleddog1 It's great to see at least a few posts on this good little t.v. slasher. I still pull out my old VHS of the NBC premiere just to see what television was like especially considering the current, sad state of the tube now where commercial blurbs are at the bottom, top and sides of squashed, mashed and castrated film & program credits and huge bylines slapped across the screen to remind you of what you are watching! Well, I can't really add to what's been said about this film except that it got some great play time on TBS in the late '80s and in an interview shortly before she died, Donna Reed lambasted the film as 'very cheap and on the sleazy side'! Nothing of the sort, I actually double featured this with Wes Craven's Scream for a couple of friends of mine and they really got into it. When will tele-flicks like this get their due?
scooby-41 Not bad "slasher" Movie with a great cast. It's about a psychopath who stalks an exclusive girls' school headed by Donna Reed. Among the ill-fated students are Diane Franklin (Better off Dead), Ally Sheedy (The Breakfast Club, Maid to Order), and Renee Jones (Friday the 13th Part 6). Larry Wilcox plays the cop hot on the murderer's trail, whoever he may be.
