Splatter University

Plot

A patient escapes from a mental hospital, killing one of his keepers and then stealing his uniform. Three years later, a teacher is working late and gets stabbed and killed by the same patient 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.

Cast

Production

The original version of the movie was shot in 1981, and it clocked in at around 65 minutes. 13 minutes of additional scenes with students were filmed the next year to increase the running time.

The filmmakers were originally told they would have two weeks to shoot at Mercy College, but the school cut their time by a week, so many members of the crew wound up sleeping in the classrooms to ensure the film was finished. When students returned to school they were alarmed to find crew members cleaning up fake blood.

Critical reception

AllMovie criticized the film for its "bone-headed plotting" and "half-hearted execution".
