Final Exam
Set on a college campus where a random maniac springs into action right when most everyone’s trying to study hard at the end of the semester (some of the students are, naturally, far more committed to partying), this 1981 cheapie sticks pretty religiously to the standard slasher formula. Extra credit goes to the nerdy character—improbably named “Radish”—whose true-crime expertise foreshadows all the Scream-spawned “horror characters who love horror” that scary movies are so fond of these days. Streaming on Shudder.
