Six
friends go to their highschool reunion as
they seems to be happy to see one another
again and are enjoying the banquet that
is served there.
But they discover that they are trapped
inside their old school with a killer
preacher on the loose wearing different
masks and uniforms and killing them all
in various ways.
It seems that they have sinned in many
ways during their teenage years as it
centered around a kid that people picked
on and now they are paying the price for
it.

The film almost
looked like a fun one to watch but it has
so many leaky holes that it sinks like a
battleship
It does make you wonder why these people
are getting killed yet it becomes
tiresome and pointless as the story
carries on.
For some silly reason when VHS tapes saw
the light of day this movie was renamed Class
Reunion Massacre plus this was
probably what inspired the 1987 flick Slaughter
High.

The acting is
dated and full of virtual unknowns but
they seem to pull their weight in the
film especially seeing their reactions
when they experience the killings.
An actor that stands out is the killer
played by T.G. Finkbinder as he
disguises himself into numerous different
characters and really pulls it off
terrifically which is better than the
story itself.

Two people are bloodily
shot during two different scenes
A rotting male corpse is sitting in a
chair with maggots crawling out of his
neck
A man is burnt to a crisp
A man is stabbed in the head
Another man is shot in the head

Constantine S. Gochis
knows how to keep the film a mystery
which he's good at doing and coaches his
actors niot too bad
There's a great scene when he coaches Nick
Carter as he turns the chair around
to see who is sitting there which is Gochis'
character and then he is attacked by
a flame torch
Also there's a cool scene with
Finkbinder as he hosts a kind of
theatrical act before doing in another
person.
Theres a real disturbing scene when Jeanetta
Arnette's character is being drowned
in a sink in the girls room as Gochis
made is very convincing that she is being
tortured by this before she drowns.

We have a cheesy
composition by Phil Gallo and Clem
Vacara Jr. showing that they can do
wonders with their piano and some windy
synthesizer sounds along with some disco
music too.
