Artie Logan has a history of getting himself in trouble. He's been kicked out of every school he's attended and is no friend to the law, which makes matters extra complicated for his wealthy father, who happens to be a judge. Given one last chance, Artie is shipped off to Fairfield College. But when his new fling, and senator's daughter, Tally, is burned to death by an unknown assailant, suspicion immediately falls on Artie. Adamant of his innocence, he's granted a 24 hour period in which to unmask the actual culprit. As his hours of freedom dwindle, the killer strikes again and again...

"This was a film that passed me by originaly . A good film, well anything with Christopher Walken in is good. Well supported cast Charlie Schlater shines out under the shadow of Walken which is not easy. Blu ray upgrade is good. Nice packaging with double cover available. A 1 job done again at VS."
"Went into this movie blind, and was thrown off by the insane tonal shift and overall vibe. Feels like the lead is doing a bad Ferris Bueller impression and then I discovered he played Ferris in the spin-off TV show! Happy to add this nutso movie to my collection. Great release."
"Great American murder story. Solid find. Great scenes. VS always fast with shipping"
"Movie: Tonally this is felt very erratic, veering from the protagonist who seems like they could be in a Buffy ripoff, to some almost Lynchian elements, then to a compelling performance by Christopher Walken as a detective. Plus Richard Kind is there, playing another cop with yet another tone going on. It's definitely engaging to watch; I was never bored as the movie kept throwing unexpected things at me. I figured out the mystery probably around halfway through, but it was still neat to watch it play out. Shout out to the dean's wife who regularly cheats on him and has a line early on about ~"having gone through more students than Kent state" (I wish I could remember it exactly). Extras: Both interviews are a good length and have some nice anecdotes about making the movie. Packaging: Bonus points for reversible cover."
"Great"
"All American Giallo."
"Typical, cheesey, college murder flick that I found more enjoyable than I thought it would be. There's nothing groundbreaking here, and the production values are what you would expect from something that went straight to video. Still it was fun to watch with some decent gory murders."
"Very underrated 90s film. The cast is amazing. Plot is pretty original. High quality restoration. Case has really cool art! High quality Vinegar Syndrome release. Very happy with this purchase!"
"Fun to see Christopher Walken in such a fun role!"
"A strange, terrible movie with a unique vibe and an amusing script. Very enjoyable release. Obviously, Christopher Walken steals the show with his presence and peculiar line delivery."
