gwnightscream This 1984 horror film features a group of Olympic athletes getting slaughtered by a hooded killer who wears a sweat-suit and uses a Javelin as the weapon of choice. Sally Kirkland is featured as physical therapist, Diane. What can I say about this film? It starts off decent, but gets kind of boring after. The film is also very dark in many scenes, the acting is bad and the deaths are basically the same. The only good things are the nudity and some of the creepy music when the killer lurks about, but other than that this is a poor flick. I still recommend viewing it at least once if you're a fan of slasher/horror flicks.

gridoon Yet another slasher movie from the 80's. This one is set in a sports academy and has the novelty of the killer using a somewhat unorthodox weapon - a javelin. But that novelty wears off after a while. There is not much suspense, no real clues to the "mystery" part, and the ending - especially the motivation of the killer - is absurd. There is also a rather laughable scene where the killer enters a pool in full scuba gear, javelin in hand, and his/her soon-to-be-victim fails to notice anything and keeps on swimming! On the plus side, there is ample nudity, a few well-done gore effects, the two main girls are cute, and most of the character interactions sound genuine. Enough good points to get this movie 4 stars out of 10.

zeppo-2 Take some characters that look like they came out of the 'Fame' TV series, add a script ripped off from countless 'Friday the 13th' and 'Halloween' clones, throw in a Dario Argento type music theme from 'Demons 2' and you have the ideal makings of a grade B straight to video or in this case, DVD film.I too, bought this from a pound shop in the UK and that's about what it's worth. No more, no less. For 90 minutes of brainless fun, it's OK and quite enjoyable if you don't expect too much. And also can amuse oneself by spotting all the trappings of the 1980's, leg warmers, BIG hair and slang, i.e. 'making out, you're out of your gourd,'etc. No use trying to detect who the mystery killer is as the rhyme and reason for it is so far off the logic scale as to be unreadable! Even for slasher films, this one is mega-dumb and just shoe-horned into the plot in the final moments with a handy discarded newspaper with a convenient, 'this explains everything,' revelation.For lovers of kitsch horror movies only.

acidburn-10 OK this movie may not win any awards for filmaking or acting, but it's fun none the less. I picked this movie up in a pound shop, and I was quite pleased with the result.It says on the cover that A schizophrenic sex-change javelin with a murderous will to win, so that could be any one of the cast. The movie is set at a sports academy where a group of teens winning teens ready for the National championship are getting picked off one by one each murdered the same way with a javelin by an unknown hooded killer.This isn't the best slasher movie but it's still OK, the acting isn't that bad, but isn't that great either, until the final scene with the killer and the final girl. There are some enjoyable scenes like the killer chasing the naked girl through the corridors of the school and where the killer hits that boy with the javelin while standing on the roof, the girl getting hit with a javelin in the swimming pool is also quite effective as well. But the best has to be where the killer gets it in the end, he/she gets pushed off the scaffolding and lands on the trophy great ending.
