    Edit
    • Trivia
      The film was more or less shot in sequence. The actors would leave the set as their characters got killed.
    • Goofs
      When 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.
    • Quotes

      Radish: People are killed every day for no reason at all.

    • Alternate versions
      About 1 minute of footage was cut from the German VHS, titled "Examen".

    Failed

    Certainly one of the most wretched slasher movies ever made.

    Timothy Raynor as the killer could not be worse.

    The real blame for this turkey must be attributed to Jimmy Huston.

    There is no gore, no suspense and no intelligence.

    And it is slower than paint drying.
