Graduation Day review

Brilliant new 'scream queens' doc makes this vintage slasher a must-own on Blu-ray

Cult label 88 Films kicks off its new 'Slasher Classics Collection' with a hi-def release for this enjoyable 1981 genre outing. Derived from a new 4K scan of the director's own answer print, the disc's AVC 1.78:1 1080p encode may not be completely flawless (there's some obvious print damage during the opening death scene), but overall it holds up much better than expected. The inclusion of a brilliant new feature-length documentary entitled Scream Queen: Horror Heroines Exposed among the many extras only serves to make this Blu-ray even more of an unmissable treat for horror-hedz.
