Graduation Day
After the death of a high school track star during a race, a mysterious killer in a fencing mask begins murdering her friends and teachers.
Why it matters
A low-budget slasher steeped in early-80s high school paranoia, where a fencing-mask killer turns track practice into a deadly race.
- Classic slasher setup with a distinctly ’81 aesthetic and all the genre tropes in play
- Patch Mackenzie’s military-returning heroine adds a rare tough edge to the typical victim roster
- Practical kills and a creepy fencing mask make for memorable, if modest, chills
- Perfect for fans of bargain-bin slashers who appreciate atmosphere over polish and the era’s DIY spirit
