    The real April Fools is that The DMCA hasn't been substantially changed since it was passed in the 90s, when the internet was still in the dial up era and content creating was largely nonexistent.

    I have a little behind the scenes info about this movie if anyone is interested in it. The movie was shot on Vancouver Island and the ferry dock was located in the town of Brentwood Bay. I remember the day they shot those scenes on the dock because I was in the building behind the ferry dock and had been asked to stay inside so as not to mess up their shot. I worked at a place that rented fishing boats there. The better part of the story though involves my younger brother. He and his friends used to hang out at a little park by the ferry terminal and when the movie company came to town they told them to get lost. Offended by this, that evening they toilet-papered the dock and film crew came to film the next morning they lost half a day of shooting while cleaning it all up. I seem to remember the police got involved but thy never identified the culprits (although I think they probably knew who did it).

    This movie gave me so much--the awesomeness that is Amy Steel, the fact that Kit is pretty much literally Ginny, a really clever premise, fun characters, BIFF, and totally the girl who mated with him:):) Deborah Foreman as Muffy St. John couldn't be MORE perfect for him! Plus, the director of 'When a Stranger Calls';) Amy managed to act with Biff here, Marty on 'Family Ties', and Doc in that movie with the guy who acted like a dog--it would've blown my MIND if she had been Jennifer...

    I first thought Snob already reviewed Slaughter High, but I was thinking of Brandon Trenold's Cult Movie Reviews. 1:22 A slasher flick, where the would-be victim has a gun? Must be a short movie. 5:54 Did one of them just commit attempted murder, and they act like it's nothing? 9:46 H.H. Holmes? I understood that reference. 18:20 OH! Student Bodies! That's the one Brandon reviewed, not Slaughter High.

    growing up, and being afraid of horror movies whenever i went to the video store to rent a game for the weekend i'd always go check out the fronts and backs of the horror flicks while my mom checked out. this cover / back always stuck with me. back in the mid 2000's when i was heavily into netflix i finally rented this, and i remember absolutely hating it when the end came about, and it was all a horror comedy. Funny thing is looking back on it i was a dumb teen who wanted it to be a straight up horror, but should have realized it would be the start of my love of horror comedy.
