criticism

"Neither blood nor tension is saved here!"

"Cheerful booth magic without a whistle."

School's Out is ultimately nothing more than a copy that has been properly copied from the common role models, but is also rolled down without any spark of its own inspiration. Not aggressively annoying, not bottomlessly bad, but also in no way outstanding - which is a shame, because the cast is not bad, the technical conditions are not bad and the author is actually a good one. "

- Bad movies

“The first hour of the murder of 10 little negroes is really good, especially since the film doesn't take itself too seriously and skillfully satirizes common genre patterns. The solution to the bestial riddle, however, is constructed in such a way that the fun suffers. "
