Short on actual frights, Splatter University uses campy horror to entertain. The story is nothing new. Escaped mental patient, college students being murdered. It’s all been done before. Though it’s not the most original concept, SU is still quite watchable.
While the characters won’t ever be praised for their depth or originality, they manage to maintain interest. Particularly the male horn dog college students. All they care about is sex and partying. Period. Girlfriend gets murdered? I think I’ll just go have sex. Teacher was killed? I’m gonna complain to my drug dealer that $6 is way too much for weed. One particular guy always howls like a wolf and violently crotch thrusts every time he’s attracted to a woman. It’s hilarious stuff.
The worst thing a slasher film can be is dull. Splatter University isn’t the best slasher movie you’ll see but it’s definitely a fun one. It could use some nudity for all of its sex talk. However, with decent gore and funny kills, you could certainly do worse. This is a great movie to put on when you have people over.
