Summary: The most atmospheric slasher since "Halloween"
Review: A German TV movie trying to compete with Hollywood genre movies? Sounds audacious, doesn't it? But SURPRISE: it is the most atmospheric slasher since "Halloween." An advice to everyone who has problems with the English dubbing: the DVD contains the original German language version with English subtitles and leaves a completely different impression of the quality of the performances and the actual impact of the film's subtext violence. Highly recommended.

Summary: Boring
Review: I had read somewhere that this foreign(german i think) slasher flick was good...so I rented it(thank goodness I did'nt buy it) and was really disapointed. The dubbing is bad and the plot is so unoriginal. Basically a maniac escapes from an aslyum who likes to kill people with big scissors-at the same time, some teenagers decide to party in a spooky old school where they just graduated from. There is alot of running around, people crawling through air vents, and of course stabbings. It isn't even gory if you're into that sorta thing and the beginning, which is like a rip-off of Scream is just plain silly....Skip this one or rent it if you have insomnia...

Summary: TERRIBLE
Review: I spent most of the time laughing at the sheer ridiculousness and predictability of this movie (who on Earth would say that this movie had unexpected plot twists?). Yeah, the dubbing was awful, but it only added on to what was already a bad, bad movie. Even my roommate, who normally hates watching scary movies because she thinks they're too scary, laughed all the way through this one. And, uh, what kind of police officer would discuss a rape with people OTHER than the immediate family? <-- Just one of the many truly stupid scenes in the movie. C'mon, skip this one--unless you're looking for something for "bad movie night" (as in my case; I thought it looked stupid from the packaging--"grizzly" instead of "grisly"? please...), and then this one takes the cake.

Summary: A terrifying german TV - Thriller !
Review: I think the people shouldn't give a bad mark for this movie, because it's just a german TV-Horrormovie, but goog for that.
A few actors of this chilling movie are german soap-stars. Of course this movie followed the concept of "Scream" and "Urban Legend" and it has a good and scary atmosphere. This movie for example isn't the only german scary movie (OK, one year later a bad sequel was made, it was called "Boarding school for girls - no one can hear you scream"). There are a few movie, which are normaly untypical for a country like Germany. In 2000 the most favourite german scary movie was "Anatomy", in the same year "Flashback - Murderous Holidays" was made, the most chilling product of the german movie-industry. In 2001 "Swimming Pool-The death celebrates with you" was a product of a german director with a cast of americans,germans and actors from England. But it was a big flop in all cinemas. I'm from Germany, I can garanty for it. But "School's out" is very good for a TV- movie.

Review: Okay, so I'm a movie buff. I'm trying to get into the production side of film making and I have to say this film would have probably been like a stepping stone for me or a gateway into the major horror films. It wasn't bad at all. Except for a few annoying things:I agreed with some of the others, the dubbing did get on my nerves at first but then I just stopped paying attention to the actors' lips. The acting could have used a bit more work on some of the characters but they were better than most American actors today, so I didn't mind that too much. And yeah the opening scene could have been written a lot better and with more originality (it did seem like the opening for SCREAM.) But all in all the movie had a good twist at the end which surprised me and I must say the soundtrack was pretty good! I think the Germans are getting the idea of what makes a good scary movie. . . surprises and a good track!!

Summary: OK Movie with horrible Dubbing
Review: Schools Out is an ok flick. The first killer is sort of obvious but the second killer is nearly impossible to find out. The characters are typical and flat, but the filming and sets looked really nice looking. What really holds this movie back is the dubbing. It is beyond horrible! Never in the movie does the words match up with the mouth. Now at first it was cheesy, but when the film tried to be serious it got really annoying. Why couldn't Fango release a subtitled version? It would have been so much easier to watch. Well otherwise the film is ok. It gets a little slow, but the ending is really good, and the movie looks great (plus the killer's mask rocks).
