Production

This section does not cite any sources. (April 2017)

The original version of the movie was shot in 1981, and it clocked in at around 65 minutes. 13 minutes of additional scenes with students were filmed the next year to increase the running time.

The filmmakers were originally told they would have two weeks to shoot at Mercy College, but the school cut their time by a week, so many members of the crew wound up sleeping in the classrooms to ensure the film was finished. When students returned to school, they were alarmed to find crew members cleaning up fake blood.

Critical reception

AllMovie criticized the film for its "bone-headed plotting" and "half-hearted execution".[1] In its review, Horror DNA said the film is "pretty forgettable except for a surprise twist ending that still holds up well today".[2]
