GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Leofwine_draca SPLATTER UNIVERSITY is a laughably inept slasher film of the early 1980s, more low rent than even a companion film like GRADUATION DAY. The story involves an unknown maniac escaping from an asylum and going undercover at a high school, where they proceed to slaughter their way through the cast of unknowns. This is very much bottom of the barrel material, one of those films that's nigh on impossible to take seriously; the acting is goofy and the script completely dead-headed. As for that title, well, there are some gory kills, but they tend to be repetitive and lack the creativity that went into a contemporary slasher like HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME.

arfdawg-1 This movie is so bad you will think it was made in the 70's, not the 80's.It's like the worst of the worst slasher pics made in that era. I would not be surprised if this movie was actually made in the 70s and released a decade later.It's really that bad.And the worst part: not gratuitous nudity or sex.The Story.A patient escapes from a mental hospital, killing one of his keepers and then a University professor after he makes his way to the local college. Next semester, the late prof's replacement and a new group of students have to deal with a new batch of killings.

slayrrr666 "Splatter University" is a watchable if not that spectacular entry in the genre.**SPOILERS**Arriving at a new campus, Julie Parker, (Forbes Riley) is told by Father Perkins, (Richard W. Haines) that the position is only available due to the previous occupant having died. Taking over the class, she meets up with students Mark Hammond, (Ric Randig) Cathy Hunter, (Kathy LaCommare) Cynthia, (Laura Gold) Tom Scavelli, (Ken Gerson) Wolf, (Sal Lumetta) Margaret, (Noel Stilphen) John, (John Elias Michalakis) and Tony, (George Seminara) who immediately try to make her life miserable because of her new position. When school gets out and they try to have a series of parties around campus, a maniacal killer begins to stalk around them, and after conducting some investigations into the murders, realize that the killer is a recently escaped mental patient from a nearby asylum is responsible, and together they try to stop his deadly rampage across the campus and student body.The Good News: This one here doesn't have a whole lot of positives, but there is some. One of the big points is that there's a lot of blood and gore, and even though it's all really cheap-looking and quite obviously fake, the fake that there's some brutal deaths is something to be admired. There's a lot of stabbing in here, with large amounts of blood forming around the wound which is always great. One is memorable being stabbed down in the privates on a close-up and a second one where the victim is stabbed and then found to be completely disemboweled in the restroom. It's one of the main values to be found in the film, and is certainly a big deal in the film. The drive-in sequence that occurs through the film is quite fun and surprising, with a lot of great parts to it that really make it somewhat entertaining. The other part that the film gets right is the segments at the end dealing with the stalker going after the remaining students in the school, leading to a strong series of stalking scenes that are quite fun. It's a big fact towards making this one somewhat entertaining, and is what gives the film most of it's good points.The Bad News: This one here doesn't have a whole lot of flaws, but there are a couple in here that do spring up. One of the main ones is that the beginning doesn't have a whole lot of good parts to keep it's interest going. This takes way too much time getting to the good parts of the film, mainly it's second half. The beginning mystery parts are way too drawn out, making them seem way dull than they really should be. There's also too much time spent on the group running wild after the class, and they're adventures aren't that great or interesting. It really makes the film's beginning feel really dull. Another big part of that is the incessantly long party scene, which here is one of the worst scenes of the film. It's long, dull and terribly uninteresting, offering up only a means to pad the film out and not really doing much of anything, as it's nearly impossible to hear anything in there due to the noise, what's there is of no consequence to the plot and there's a lot of time with nothing that happens in the scene. The other part that doesn't work is the series of plot inconsistencies that are hard to get over. The missing girl, who does so at the very beginning of the film, goes unnoticed for the majority of the film and no attempt is made to make it seem like there's anything done about it. There's also the failure to believe that the new teacher never heard of the previous murder, which is a little unlikely. Otherwise, this one here isn't all that great.The Final Verdict: Not that spectacular but still has enough good parts to it to make it watchable for the style, this one is really only there for the hardcore slasher fans. Check it out if a fan of those films, a shot-on-video fan or can tolerate cheesy films, but if that isn't appealing, it won't be a total loss to miss it.Rated R: Graphic Violence and Graphic Language

stmichaeldet Back in the days before the Toxic Avenger, the low-camp kings at Troma Films tried to take the high (OK, somewhat-less-low) road of producing straight slasher pics. I'd like to think that viewing the results here is what convinced them to give up all pretension and go for self-conscious parody.Splatter University is another film for the masochists in the audience. As it meanders about through two separate casts and innumerable pointless subplots, it actually becomes painful to watch. Let's see if I can summarize.After learning that a dangerous psychopath has escaped from a local hospital, the action moves to a Catholic university (I don't recall the name, but in honor of the title, let's call it St. Splatter). The students are listless and sullen, and argue pettily with each other, slackers ahead of their time. Meanwhile, the new professor, Julie Parker, proves utterly incompetent at her job. The kids deal with relationships, infidelity, unwanted pregnancies, lecherous priests, and how to avoid doing any work in class; Julie deals with a creepy boyfriend, the inflexible administration at St. Splatter, counseling unwed mothers, and the blank, expressionless looks of her students. None of it means a darn thing or gets resolved in any meaningful way. Oh, and every once in a while, a POV shot comes along and stabs one of the girls to death, but don't hold your breath waiting for it. There's a Red Herring Killer, and then a sadly anticlimactic confrontation with the Real Killer, then it's back to the asylum and roll credits.The slow pace and numerous inane subplots seem almost calculated to produce a mounting sense of frustration in the viewer, which is helped along by choppy editing, coffee-can sound quality, and dialog that just doesn't make any sense. And the most agonizing thing about this movie is the killer's fixation on women - the men in this movie are just so deserving. I'd've paid good money to see someone off the jerk with the pregnant girlfriend, or the lunkhead Lothario who was fooling around with his girlfriend's roommate, or any of the creepy priests. There ain't no justice.
