Because of the scrappy, can-do success of Friday the 13th, audiences in cinemas were hit with a deluge of slasher movies, some pretty nifty and others that weren’t so hot. Though in my not so esteemed opinion, even the not so-hot ones had a roughshod, scattershot attitude that elevated them far above the generic knockoffs that this particularly unloved sub-genre would put out on a monthly basis. Some weeks, you’d get Just Before Dawn and others you get Splatter University.
The thing is, because of the profitability of these films, they were in cinemas for one week, made their budgets back and then zoomed out after making a decent killing (pun seriously unintended). They...

A killer without motive shows up on a college campus, as it is emptying out for summer vacation, to kill the remaining students on campus.
The idea of centering a slasher film around a killer without motive, without reason, without remorse, without identity, who just kills for the sake of killing, strikes an eerie chord. Sure some of the segments that help to establish who the characters are and what they are all about, are a bit too lengthy and drawn out, but Final Exam does strike this spooky kind of note throughout. It's never quite clear as to who's going to be the next victim, so there is a suspense as to how Final Exam is going to unfold. Final Exam also plays up to the inherent scariness of the film's...
