6/10
Pure Horror-at its best
28 December 2001
It appears that I am in the minority, but I loved this movie! First, let us not pretend that Slaughter High is anything more than a slasher flick. It never pretends to be anything else. The focus is on how flesh and blood a director can pack into 90 minutes. I'm saying that it deserves an Academy Award, but I enjoyed every scene.

What gets me in Slaughter High is the irony. I love how the classmates hurt each other. Also, I think the clown mask is as scary and enduring as the Jason's skimask and Freddy's scissor hands-it simply sticks with you.

To be perfectly fair I thought the "dream sequence" near the end looked very very bad, but the ending made up for it-a classic twist. Leaving the viewer wanting more. I think it's great-I gave it a 6.
