I've always been a fan of "Night School"(AKA Terror Eyes)although it does have its critics. I admit it does have some slower parts and it's obvious who the killer is,but in general, for me, this is another enjoyable and very decent slasher with some amusing bits too. The story is of a killer dressed in biker leather and helmet who is killing all the coeds and then decapitating them. Those who have seen the likes of "Strip Nude For Your Killer","What Have They Done To Your Daughters" and "Welcome To Spring Break" will know exactly what the killers disguise looks like. For a slasher the film boasts fairy high production values so the film is well made and contains some good nicely atmospheric sequences. There are some suspenseful scenes during the murders but the gore is quite low and none of the actual decapitations are shown, however, although mostly bloodless they're nicely nasty in tone. But to think that at one time this was a banned video nasty is just unbelievable. Hats off to the great censors for saving us from such disturbing images!

As for the DVD this is released as part of the Warners Archive Collection. This means they are made on demand on DVD R and seem to be quite pricey. I can honestly say the picture quality is fine and the art work same as any other DVD. It's the fact that apart from a trailer there are no extras which is a let down. But in conclusion I'm just happy to finally have this on DVD. 4.5 Stars.

Someone in bike leathers is cutting young ladies heads off.
Night School is a 1981 thriller from the director and Screenwriter Ken Hughes of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang fame. There's a genuine sense of menace to the giallo influenced stalking scenes. Interestingly a couple of the film's set pieces, one involving Rachel Ward being followed by a weirdo and an attack in a locker room seem to have influenced a pair of similar scenes in Argento's Tenebrae.
It's a much maligned film, often criticized for some wooden acting and lapses in logic. Personally, I think it's a stylish movie, best seen along with Eyes of Laura Mars. Dressed to Kill and Lipstick as an example of American giallo influnced mainstream thrillers rather than as an outright slasher. Night School is very violent, but not horror film graphic and it is also extremely mean spirited. I think the mean streak is the thing that put it on the Video Nasties list,
I've given Night School 5 stars, because I like it and because I was begining to suspect it would never be released in any form. The DVD picture quality is very good.

Night School is an oddity. In one sense it is a slasher but in another the movie feels like a crime cop movie. Don't let the title misiniform you. This isn't a movie about a serial killer stalking a night school full of students. This is about a killer stalking students outside of school time, and the killer isn't just content with killing students.

British born Ken Hughes, yes he of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang fame is behind the lens, and Night School would prove to be his final movie. The movie feels like it's been directed by a vet. Ruth Avergon has wriiten a really good script and the production is super tight. Indeed it is odd again that this movie was actually part of the video nasties list- because this feels a little too intelligent to be hurled onto that list.

Gorehounds will feel disappointed- despite several decapitations there is little blood to be found- though leaving some scenes to the imagination is the oldest trick in the book, and on some occasions this does work well. We also get some nice on location footage of Boston in the 80s.

Brad Fiedel scores the music, and the soundtrack is terrific!! No wonder he would go on to legendary status with his music for The Terminator movies.

Leonard Mann and Rachel Ward lead the acting stakes and all is well. Though why Mann's onscreen wife is introduced to us only to disappear for the remainder of the film is strange.

To conclude I'll finish with my title, this movie is too good to be left on the archive system, which means that Warners now only produce these when they are asked for and on DVD R's. Don't worry too much, you get the box and original great covers and the picture quality is great. But it does feel bizarre to have a certain quality of film relegated to this status. However kudos to Warners, at least with this system we do get to own these movies.

Police begin investigating when several young women, who are studying at the same college, disappear and turn up dead.

Night School aka- Terror Eyes is a pretty standard stalk'n'slash from the 80's although it is surprisingly well made. Seasoned director Ken Hughes does his very best at getting a decent film from an average script, unlike some similar movies from the period he at least tries to build some suspense and create interesting characters, he actually is successful in the former but alas the script does defeat him with the latter. Despite its reputation as a video nasty the film isn't really all that gory, the playground roundabout scene is typical where you see threats and knife waving but no actual penetration of the weapon. Acting is OK, Leonard Mann as the lead cop is decent enough, Rachel Ward shows little of the promise she would soon deliver but is fine for this kind of picture and the rest of the cast do just about enough. The weakest points are what really hurt the film, the mystery is poor from fairly early on its obvious who the killer is (although the stuntman/extra they put in the leather outfit looks nothing like the actual killer) & the pace is very slow at times, possibly even too slow for some tastes, but things do improve towards the end and the climax is fun.

Well made little horror film that will keep most horror fans interested for the runtime, just don't expect Halloween and you won't be disappointed.
