Janet has taken a job as a teacher at Ravenscroft Hall, a girl's reform school for juvenile delinquents. Not long after arriving, Janet's dreams become plagued with haunting visions of a mysterious brick wall, coupled with the very real increase in disappearances of the facility's young pupils. While dismissed by the headmaster as nothing more than runaways, Janet is not convinced and begins investigating the history of the school and its assortment of unbalanced staff members...

      Really love the design of

      "Really love the design of the killer and this movie had me on edge great atmosphere a real thriller"

      — Will S. (5/5)

      A Charming Low-Budget Oddity

      "I don't know what it is, but I really like this slice of sleaze that exists in the transition between the culture of the late 80s and early 90s. It's not a change-your-world movie, but a fun rainy day viewing with familiar faces like Ginger Lynn Allen, Robert Vaughn, a scene-chewing Donald Pleasence, and, in a cameo that made me smile, the late John Carradine. I wanted to see it for YEARS because I'm a big Pleasence and Carradine fan. Glad that Vinegar Syndrome gave it a release that looks and sound good. Brings me back to the days of seeking out oddball low-budget horrors at my local video rental stores!"

      — Joseph M. (5/5)

      Slasher fun

      "I'm not going to lie I lost the plot in this pretty quickly haha, but it moves along pretty briskly and packs a ton of stuff into the 87 minutes that I was still plenty entertained. Always a joy to see Donald Pleasance"

      — Jon B. (4/5)

      Slashers galore

      "Nothing can stop this spooky killer from coming back"

      — Jon Y. (3/5)

      Interesting cast in this slasher

      "Donald Pleasence, Ginger Lynn, Arnold Vosloo, Robert Vaughn. . . in Edgar Allan Poe's story! What more can you ask? Great edition by Vinegar Syndrome."

      — Goran P. (4/5)

      Pretty silly stuff but I’m

      "Pretty silly stuff but I’m a Ginger Lynn fan/completist so felt compelled to add this to my collection when it came up as available again with the slipcover. Very nice disc as usual from VS, visuals look great and the art on the slipcover is attractive. Fun characters including Donald Pleasence obviously phoning it in but still a hoot!"

      — Brandon T. (3/5)
