Review of Satan's School for Girls (1973) by Movie K — 21 Nov 2011

Don't expect much from this TV movie. Very predictable and standard story, Not scary or anything worth waiting. Terry Lumley panicly driving fast and arrive at her sister's home, but she isn't there.

She saw something and scream, lock herself in. The police and her sister Pamela Franklin arrive, barge in and saw her hanged. Police say it is suicide but Pamela don't feel so. She ask the room mate but she insist nothing is wrong.

Pamela go to her sister's school as a new student to investigate. Kate Jackson is her classmate and guidance. Headmistress Jo Van Fleet welcome her and give her a lamp in case there is blackout. During art class by Roy Thinnes, Pamela saw a painting of her sister done by Jamie Smith-Jackson.

She isn't close to Terry and painted her because she feel that she fitted in. Later after a psychology class by Lloyd Bochner, she go hysterical and scream in the hallway, later recovered in bed but she don't remember anything.

Cheryl Ladd is in Jo office and police call to inform a student committed suicide. At night Pamela go to Jamie room and ask for more info, she say the room painted is something she see in memory and likely in the school.

Pamela take the painting and try to find the place. She found the place in the cellar and saw someone holding a knife and run away, it was Lloyd. Jamie is scared when Pamela told her about the cellar.

Pamela think the guy she saw in the cellar is Lloyd. At night Kate join her to explore the cellar, open the inner door and saw dead body of Jamie. Duo report to Jo and she pretend to call sheriff and she want them to keep quiet.

Pamela don't believe all of them suicide and can't find Lloyd file, also can't find the 3 dead girls file. Another coincidence is that all the girls have nobody to help them, no parents. They explore Lloyd lab and found the files and also the experiment mouse are dead, he said something puzzling and jump down window.

Duo saw Roy and get help from him. Lloyd fell into a pond, Cheryl and some other students hold long pole and drown him. Kate tell Pamela that Roy is a good teacher who inspire her to live. Pamela reveal her identity to Kate.

Roy tell them to hide in his classroom, he find Jo and is the bad guy and evacuate the school. Pamela defy orders and chase after their van, when she open her car and Lloyd body is inside. Jo is afraid of Roy and went crazy.

Kate says they need a gun and the cellar has one. After they got it, they open a door and Roy is inside along with other girls, Kate push Pamela in and join them. Roy tell her they will all sacrifice their souls for the 8 witches killed in the cellar back in the old times, Pamela can't snap the others and throw the lamp causing fire and run out.

She grab Jo out and the sheriff arrive but the school is in fire. The 7 girls are burnt and Roy watch from the field and vanishes.
