NIGHT SCHOOL (1981)

Women attending (or working near) Wendell College in Boston have been turning up with their heads chopped off.  The cops get involved and a young detective is determined to solve the case.  And since he only has like four suspects I'm pretty sure he can figure it out.  A small smattering of blood, zero gore, lightweight nudity, medium pace, soft focus that gives everything a weird fuzzy look, 80's fashions, Boston locations, okay acting, zero scares.

Worth checking out for slasher completists, but it's more of a police murder-mystery than a slasher film. Still kinda interesting in a laid back, made-for-TV looking kind of way...even though it wasn't made for TV.  From what I can tell, NIGHT SCHOOL actually had a short theatrical run back in 1981.
