Deadly Lessons

#4 of Slasher September 2019: Games, Rituals, and Sundowns (https://boxd.it/3Ql9g) A Bay of Blood: A Ranking of Slashers (1974 - 1990) (http://boxd.it/IoH8) Made-for-TV slasher without the slashing—instead we get a young Bill Paxton brushing a horse and hitting it off with Diane Franklin, which by all means, isn't the worst thing to see. Deadly Lessons is an incredibly tame film that does fit into the slasher genre like any other, it just happens to be a very PG rated one. Franklin's character arrives at a prestigious summer school and one-by-one its girl students are murdered without the least bit of blood—each body discovered in a similar fashion, with another student coming across it and screaming, and then cutting to the police office where the investigators sit in a room, writing suspects on a chalkboard. Despite it being a bland slasher concoction, it isn't a terrible one, mostly thanks to its wide range of characters and "somewhat" investigation into the mystery between them. Still, there's a lot of stuff in this that's forgettable. 2.1/5
