This is one movie that I'm glad I have in my collection. If you liked PROM NIGHT, and TERROR TRAIN...you'll like this one alot. It's one of those campy, suspense, who dunnit slashers...great find!

Of all horrors Ive seen this movie keeps you thinking and guessing.To all cult fans if you remember the toxic advenger this movie is done by the same people that did graduation day. Like it is presented at the begining the track runner student freaklishly dies when she races the other team.Her sister comes to vist the town area and the school where she goes.By that moment wierd murders begin to happen one by one each student is disapearing. There is a gym teacher involved (Christopher George)actor.and a strange guy student involved who was a good friend to the girl. So this goes on it gets you thinking ,is it the gym teacher or is it the student. Imbetween the film by seeing every one students the principal who is a bit of character as well takes the audience us watching this film start to get a good idea who it is! Graduation Day is a film to see if you love to pin point the plot. I enjoyed it you may too!

It's almost Graduation Day at the local high school but something tragic has happened as a track runner died from a heart attack and a mysterious psychopath stalks members of the High School track team, almost anyone in the school is a suspect as one of them could be the killer.

Starring Christopher George ("City of the Living Dead"), Vanna White and Linnea Quigely, this is a fine paced and fun no-brainer slasher movie that is one of your typical "Halloween" clones. Yes the acting is bad, the killer does look like a Fencer and the film does have some plot holes but this is an enjoyable killer movie with memorable kills like the man being skewered by a football with a sword in it and a good late 70's disco soundtrack.

This DVD contains a fair picture transfer with some miminal grain and decent sound and the extras include introduction by Troma president Lloyd Kaufman, interview with Linnea Quigley, Trailers to other Troma releases and more.

Also recommended: "Halloween Series plus 2007 remake", "Black Christmas (1974)", "The Prowler", "Sleepaway Camp Series", "Scream 1 & 2", "Maniac (1980)", "Friday The 13th series", "Cutting Class", "Prom Night", "Terror Train", "Twitch of the Death Nerve" and "Urban Legend".

Another example of good, wholesome, 80s slasher fun. As in most slasher films the motivation for the killings of course is revenge. The incident in question is a track star who dies of a blood clot during a race in the beginning of the film. Soon, the members of the track team are being knocked off. My God, who's behind it all? Well, if you're really burning to know, you can either A) watch the film or B) read the previous review that has no hangups about spilling the beans for you all. Either way, the killer's identity isn't really the big issue in a film like this(and it's not like you won't have figured it out less than an hour into the film anyway), but the fun of the journey. Not much else to say about it, after all we are talking about a slasher film. Although I did enjoy this movie more than most of the other reviewers here(I tend to watch these films for schlock value while most of these reviewers are comparing this film to "Halloween". Remember, Troma reissued this, so don't go expecting anything Oscar worthy), I can't bring myself to give it more than three stars. The Prowler is a four star slasher film in my opinion, and though I think this movie is worth checking out for fans of the genre, it's no Prowler for sure. But it does have Christopher George, who horror fans may recognize from such tasteful horror romps as City of the Living Dead, Grizzly and Day of the Animals. Probably the most amusing death here involves a jock who's thrown a football that's been fixed with a sword. Good times.


2 out of 5 stars an okay slasher film!   December 17, 2006

Members of the track team begin to die. Why? Seems a girl on the track team got a blood clot and died at a track meet. Her boyfriend decides to butcher the whole track team, and a few others. Not the worst horror film around, but I've seen much better. The movie is notable for an appearance of Vanna White, and an early role for scream queen Lennea Quigley.
