I really love this movie I'm a huge fan of 80's horror movies...I can see why many ppl say that they don't like this one....for one thing the killer is just some random killer that has no story...they didn't even at least like on the radio or news say that a psycho killer just broke out of the local mental hospital XD.... and people don't just die every 2 seconds in this film... I really love this film..you can tell it was inspired by the original Halloween which is also a really good film :)
the killer had no backstory. That was the point. the nerdy guy said it best: people just wake up one day and for no reason at all just snap and kill ppl. Like in black Xmas or When a Stranger Calls. There's no reason for the insanity. Creepy.
it says. HE'S COME BACK? bUt who is he?? we never find that out in the movie. hes just some dude who shows up with no backstory or no past. or connection to anyone at the school..
@charliedontsurf70 I agree with you 100%! I think slasher movies are more enjoyable when you have an explanation of the killer's motive or background and not just mindless 'hack 'n slash'. It's simple character development in the story and what better character to develop than the psycho? There's so much to work with! So many possibilities! I just watched the original Black Christmas last night and I really liked it, but felt cheated at the end because they didn't explain that killer either.
@shogun003 i hear you shogun003,however i did realy like black christmas simply for the fact that the killer had no explanation-its ok if every now and then we get a completely demented nut on a spree.lol.if you saw the remake of black christmas that came out 2 years ago-they spent so much time with the killers charactcher development-it took away much from the suspense the oroginal held.but final exam was just dreadful-one of the few times where the movie poster was better than the film.lol.
@charliedontsurf70 Yeah, I think it works in Black Christmas too also because they kind of tease you with hints about the killer like his name is Billy and he's looking for Agnes or something like that so it just kind of kept you asking yourself, "Who is he?". Also it is considered to be the first real slasher film.
@shogun003 right- and it works in that,very creepy-leaves alot to the imagination.which is what horror movies are supposed to do,like phantasm,one of my faves-keeps you guessing-holds you interest and blows your mind at the end.
@compsciguy I get what you're saying, and there are other murder psycho killer movies made before Black Christmas, but it is widely considered to be the first PROPER "slasher" film (as per wikipedia). The term "Slasher film" has become a sub-genre of horror movies and Psycho is more of a suspense horror film. "Slasher films" tend to have lots more gore and violence.
I liked this movie, i baught it yesturday and ive been trying to build up my collection for good horoor movies from the 80's. you like slasher flicks, get this.
The girl in this movie that played the lead part is reminds me of Jamie Lee Curtis on the way she looked in Halloween,is their any chance they may be related.
I might see! And I have agreed with the 80's horror films! There were great, unlike the shitty ass horror movies we see in the 2000's even know I was born in 1993! :I
and he is...?

Psycho is the first real slasher film, then if you back farther, Peeping Tom is the REAL original slasher...Scream 4 explains this.

@compsciguy Also, Scream 4 is only a movie itself and therefore, its reliability is questionable. But in the end, I suppose all of this is debatable.
