Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film was more or less shot in sequence. The actors would leave the set as their characters got killed.
- GoofsWhen the sheriff's car pulls up to the group of students after having been called to respond to the "mass murders" (but what turned out to be nothing more than a fraternity prank), the insignia on his car door says "Cherokee County", yet the patch on his uniform's shoulder says "Cleveland County". Incidentally, those two counties actually do exist in North Carolina where the movie was filmed, but they are geographically a considerable distance apart.
- Alternate versionsAbout 1 minute of footage was cut from the German VHS, titled "Examen".
Featured review
following footsteps
It's the final exams at Lanier College and a young couple has been reported murdered at a neighboring college. Gun wielding masked men arrive at the school and start shooting. They drive away in their van with the bodies. It turns out to be frat prank but a real serial killer has arrived in his van.
After Halloween and Friday the 13th, there came a deluge of other slasher horrors that centered on a certain date or event following their predecessors' footsteps. This one is one of those except there is a little bit of difference. There is some blood but the gore special effects is not that big. It's a lot of stabbing motions. It opens with a young couple getting murdered and the first noticeable thing is the non-descript killer. He looks like a big henchman but lacks the iconic style of its compatriots. The man has no charisma and he has no iconic look. That may be the movie's fatal flaw. At least, he could have stayed faceless for as long as possible. The acting overall is amateurish but that is par for the course. The movie tries to set up these characters but the inferior acting skills limit the effectiveness. This is better than most of those small budget indies desperate to cash in but it fails to be one of those to spawn the needed franchise.
