Review of Final Exam (1981) by Tim S — 10 May 2014
Final Exam, like a lot of horror movies from the 1980's, is a slasher movie. This one takes place on a college campus wherein the killer kills off the students one by one (although there's not that many people around, oddly enough).
The thing is though that he doesn't start killing until the last half hour of the movie, and we don't even find out who he is or why he's doing it. Not that it matters all that much, but it's strange that they didn't bother to explain the killer's motivation like they usually do in these movies.
And like any typical horror/comedy movie, all of the college kids walk, talk and act like high schoolers and have no real concern for their education. I'm sure that exists, but it's probably not that clear cut.
Overall, it's not one of the best slashers you're likely to see, and there's very little blood and gore to be had, so you might be disappointed with this one.
