Will I watch it again? No.
#242 on Drive-In Delirium Volume 1 (part of the TRAILER TRASH PROJECT)
The film starts out at a college dance in 1945 and it's fantastic, something very different for a slasher movie. But that prologue only lasts a few minutes. About halfway into the picture, once it's well established that there's a killer on the loose, it gets rather dull. Neither the (very nice) nudity or great gore effects (by Tom Savini) can save it, either. It's things like taking forever to search a house for the killer that really, well, kill it for me. The identity of the killer was pretty cool but even at an hour an a half there's not much that could save this picture except some tightening up with the pacing in the second half.
