“No one said surviving high school would be easy.”
Directed by Rospo Pallenberg
The premise
High school student Paula Carson's affections are being sought after by two of her classmates: Dwight, the "bad boy", and Brian, a disturbed young man who has just been released from a mental hospital where he was committed following the suspicious death of his father. Soon after being released, more murders start happening. Is Brian back to his old tricks, or is Dwight just trying to eliminate the competition?
Horror Vault's take
When a troubled teen returns to high school fresh out of a psychiatric facility, a string of gruesome murders begins rattling the campus — and suspicion falls squarely on him. But Paula, caught between two very different admirers, isn't so sure the obvious answer is the right one. This late-80s slasher leans into the whodunit angle, keeping viewers guessing about who's really wielding the blade. It's equal parts teen soap opera and body-count thriller, with a darkly playful edge.
