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 is a solid murder mystery that's enhanced by its slasher elements and the surprise of its twists and turns. Although the sharp dialog can be a bit clunky at times and the characters make some baffling decisions, it's still very enjoyable overall as the interactions between the leads are quite entertaining. The restoration looks great as well, and there's a decent selection of special features on this release."
"A fast-paced campus whodunit with an entertaining cast, plenty of twists, and a nostalgic early-'90s feel. It may not reinvent the genre, but it's an enjoyable hidden gem that looks great in this release."
"Great fun slasher. . . Twin Peaks meets Friday the 13th meets a college Rom-com. . . with Chris Walken and gore ! Only downside is the motivation of the killer when revealed. . . really stupid. That drops it from a 5 to a 4. Great VS transfer and package, as always"
"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."
"A very interesting movie starting Christopher Walken. The transfer looks great! An odd bu enjoyable viewing experience."
"An odd film in the sense that it's corny and it feels like it was made in the 80's. It's weird that 'Diagnosis Murder's' Charlie Schlatter is starring in the same film as Christopher Walken, whom I would rate in a whole different level of acting. Also Charlie's character as a rebel seemed very oddly placed, despite this I quite enjoyed the plot and it made for easy watching."
"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."
"Very glad I caught this before selling out. Good addition to my collection."
"Great transfer"
"Great American murder story. Solid find. Great scenes. VS always fast with shipping"
