If Final Exam fell into any other genre, Huston's character work would be insultingly broad and inadequate, but it's rare to see a horror film devote so much time to humanizing the meatsacks.

It might be more fun taking a final exam than watching such crap.

I ended up being more than underwhelmed by Jimmy Huston's 1981 slasher Final Exam, which suffers from an almost total lack of atmosphere, violence & logic as well as a killer that might very well be THE most boring knife-wielding psycho stalker ever.

[Blu-ray Review] The narrative is by no means free and clear of clichs, but it becomes exceedingly obvious all the same that an attempt was made to separate it from the glut of similar body-count fare inundating the marketplace at the time.

While Shout! Factory has once again done an impressive job with the restoration and special features, "Final Exam" is just another drop in the bucket of cheap and forgettable slasher flicks.

Quite possibly the dullest slasher movie ever made.

It was an okay, although run-of-the-mill slasher.

I watched Star Wars: The Last Jedi, and then I watched this. Final Exam gets five stars for being miles ahead of The Last Jedi. In this movie, a guy kills college kids.

This film is very slow and contains nothing loveable, except a couple small ideas. This film also contains a scene that will never be seen on the screen ever again. Grade: D-
