Four Hamilton High School seniors have been hiding the truth of what happened to ten-year- old Robin Hammond for six long years.

Out of all the slasher flims this one get’s the balance right - highschool-fun, stereotypes creatively killed, surreal De-Palma-Esque style, a cheesy soundtrack for the cosy modern-American setting, enthusiastic ham-fisted direction, the list goes on. A better film than any Nightmare, Friday, or slasher in which Savini was the true star.
A forgotten genre classic, that means much more as a nostalgic piece than effective thriller. A film of it's time that now offers nothing more than reheated tropes, a lackluster Jamie Lee Curtis performance and a disappearing Leslie neilson. An excellent transfer from 101, and some excellent special features make it worth a purchase at the right price.
