Slaughter High kinda ripped this off, yes?


I don't know if this has already been pointed out or not (probably has) but...

- Handful of not-very-nice people mysteriously reunited for their class reunion.
- It takes place in their former high school, which has since closed down and it's in a secluded area.
- When they show up, no one else is there, but the place has been decorated for the reunion and includes food, drinks, banner, etc.
- By the time they realize something is up, they find they're locked in and can't get out (though SH had the doors and windows electrically wired and in this one there are just bars).
- The "hot" girl in both is cornered in a shower stall in the bathroom and killed by someone wearing a clown disguise.

And there are other similarities. Of course SH actually has gore, nudity, a higher budget, a higher body count and comedy elements and this one does not, but I reckon this is where they got their general idea.

The similarities are uncanny for sure. The Redeemer is my favorite one though.

this is also known as Class reunion massacre

Possibly. It's a merry-go-round with regards to 'ripping off' when it comes to slasher films to be honest.
