Review of Slaughter High (1986) by Kevin Thomas for Los Angeles Times — 17 Jun 2000
Slaughter High, which benefits greatly from its authentic setting, a big, old derelict Tudor-style school building in a remote area, gets actually quite scary, yet its grisly special effects are of the darkly comic, Grand Guignol variety.
There's a trite coda that the film could have done without, but even so, Slaughter High (appropriately rated R) is effective schlock.
