Has some okay moments, and kills, but it is poorly made, and some shoddy editing, coupled with how it was obvious who the killer was, though I wonder back in 1984 it would come as a surprise because that sort of stunt has been done numerous times over the years since. Not all together terrible but never lived up to the potential of being a fun 1980s horror film. **2.25/5**

**_Who’s slaying people at a Catholic school on the Hudson River north of the Big Apple?_** A teacher lands a job at a Catholic college in the New York City area where she discovers her predecessor was murdered and the assailant never caught. When more grisly bodies are found, she thinks she knows who the culprit is. Over an hour of “Splatter University” was shot in 1981, but additional scenes were filmed in 1982 with students to increase the run time by 13 minutes. It wasn’t released until 1984. I point this out because it has the vibe of 1981-82 as opposed to the mid-80s. Costing only $26,000, you have to have mercy on the low-rent production values in order to appreciate it. Thankfully, like (the superior) "The Majorettes" (1986), it has enough highlights to make it worth watching for fans of the genre despite its shortcomings (dubious acting and editing). For instance, winsome Forbes Riley works well as the protagonist and is convincing in the role. Denise Texeira (Denise) and Kathy LaCommare (Cathy) are other highlights on the feminine front. There’s also some welcome droll humor; and the early 80’s locations, décor and styles are interesting. The ending is surprising as well, even shocking (not the revelation of the murderer, but something else). The flick runs 1 hour, 18 minutes, and was shot in the greater New York City area as follows: Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan, Mercy College in Dobbs Ferry, Sayville on Long Island and Peekskill (the drive-in theater). GRADE: C
