Charmingly Bad -- I love it!


Do any other slasher fans absolutely love GRADUATION DAY? The movie is terrible, but it has an honest charm that clearly inspired a ton of late 80's campus slashers and even some inspirations in the first two SCREAM movies. There's a certain nostalgia to movies like this, GIRLS NITE OUT, and PROM NIGHT that is appealing to me as a self-proclaimed slasher film fanatic. They were just fun -- nothing disturbing in these cheesy movies. Definitely not close to the brilliance of HALLOWEEN or even the better FRIDAY THE 13TH sequels, but still wonderful and a good time.

Agreed. This film is a real schlocky hoot and a half!
