Horror Extreme Movie Catalog

I bought this thinking it was a slasher - wrong. It's a third rate rip off of Animal House. Oh, there's a slasher subplot buried in there under all the painfully unfunny fraternity hijinks, but with all the silliness going on, these people couldn't create an ounce of suspense if their lives depended on it. The two main characters are as boring as can be, I couldn't even finish this crappy thing. There's a very good reason that all these horror/comedies are completely forgotten these days, while the straight slashers like Friday the 13th, Halloween, and Nightmare on Elm street are considered classics.

A successful 'killer on a college campus' film is hard to come by for slasher fans. Happy Hellnight, Splatter University, and Girls Nite Out are just a few examples of the many disapointments that fans have to wade through. Every now and then our toil and trouble pays off when we discover a classic that makes the searching all worth it.
Rush Week is worth it. It has what you pay the price of admission to see. Lots of naked 80's babes. Animal House/Back To School college sterotypes (rival rich boy frats, a boring science teacher, a crazy cafeteria worker, and an old-timer Dean).
Amoungst all the goodtimes and practical jokes a killer wanders around in a mask and a black hood giving to axe to loose students and prostitutes. The party scenes are excellent for their excessive use of 80's punk and bar bands.
My only gripe with this film is lack of gore. But there is plenty to make up for it, including that fat kid from Friday The 13th Part V and the Sheriffs smoking hot daughter from Halloween 4.
The DVD is in fullscreen with a better than average screen quality. The sound quality is good as well. No real special features except for a "movie factoids" section which is just filmographies of the actors in the film.
This film is out of print, but then again what classic horror gem is not. Look for it and buy it.
