I watched this last night and the Picture Quality was really good through out the entire movie!

The movie itself was very entertaining however it seemed like the writer and/or producer was unsure about what type of movie they wanted to make. There was a Romeo and Juliette theme where one of the rich girls falls in love with a local boy from the wrong side of the tracks, there was a Revenge of the Nerds and/or The Outsiders story line with the rich boys at the school and the local poor boys always fighting each other and of coarse there was a Porky's feel with all the nudity and horny teens.

I feel like in the middle of making the movie someone said "hey lets add a body count and make this a slasher film!" The odd thing is it all kind of works, I was never bored, the characters were fun, the acting was good enough and the kill scenes were fun.

The rest of this review I am putting under spoiler tags although I won't give away who the killer is:

[Show spoiler]The William Castle Style "Fright Break" was fun but after it happens there is still 40 minutes left in the movie, that seemed out of place, there is one character that is working on some kind of science project and it seems important but they never come back to explain what it was or why they made it seem important, we are never given a motive for the killers impulse to kill, the story line with the rich boys at the school and the local poor boys always fighting each other just stops with no resolution and when the movie ends I would have liked a few more minutes wrapping up the worried parents storyline and they find the missing students bodies.

Yeah I pre-ordered on Amazon the other day. Looking forward to checking the film out for sure. It'll be a first time watch for me but this looks right up my alley for sure.

Anyone get theirs with a crack in the disc hub?

The crack is pretty small and the disc played fine. Trying to decide if it is worth the hassle of an exchange.

Quality control is so garbage lately it makes me want to get out of collecting.
