The Bloody Truth:
One of the "pop" Slasher originals this movie is a classic and a must see
for any fans of the Slasher film or 80's pop horror.
By todays standards the acting and the overall pacing of the film can
seem almost comical at times. Betsy Palmer's performance is oddly
disturbing and effective lending some credibly to the teen scream film.
This original story idea produced 10 sequels and many spin offs.
