    Pretty good TV 'slasher' movie

    I thought this movie was pretty good. It's like a 'Scream' movie without the gore and a large variety of suspects. Donna Reed adds a classy touch to the proceedings and Ally Sheedy is shown just before she hit stardom with 'WarGames'. Hopefully this film will be shown on TV soon.
