Plot: A killer is slaughtering pupils at St Elizabeth’s Catholic Girls School.
This Australian effort is a brainless copy of a slasher film. On almost all levels, it is badly made – badly directed, badly written, badly acted. One supposes it at least lacks any of the true awfulness of a Golden Turkey film – all it does is radiate an aura of shabby impoverishment. The script wanders all over the place, dallying through subplots about the conflicts between local boys and townies, romances between townie and schoolgirl, one girl’s attempts to steal exam answers, without ever taking any of them anywhere. At the same time, it doesn’t fall into the formula of the slasher film enough to satisfy even the minimal requirements of that genre. The film does feature a sizeable cast of teenage girls and invariably finds copious opportunities to have them disrobe.
