Review of Night School (1981) by Jon H — 28 Sep 2009

Night School is about a motorcycle helmet-wearing maniac that goes around killing off hot female students by decapitating their heads and placing it in water as a means of cleaning out evil spirits. Boston detectives Leonard Mann and Joseph R.

Sicari are on the case and it leads them to the all-girls university the victims attending and is narrowed down even more so to one particular class where a womanizing Anthropology professor spends his time teaching tribal rituals and sleeping with the students, namely his assistant, the beautiful but not so talented Rachel Ward (she DOES have some nice nudie scenes in this though).

It doesn't take a genius to figure out who the killer is. In fact, only a moron could NOT figure out who the killer is, and once the setup begins, you'll figure out the climatic twist right away as well.

There's a good amount of blood and kills, though most of them are ho-hum. I will say the kill within the confines of an aquarium was pretty interesting and the overly drawn out murder reveal within the diner was comical, but other than that, this is a standard slasher.

Definitely worth a watch for all of you avid horror fans. This could stand to have a DVD release. Hopefully, some day that would happen, because I would buy it.
