In Boston, a young female teacher’s aide is found decapitated in a playground, her head discarded in a nearby bucket. Bearing striking similarities to a murder that took place the week before, Harvard-educated Lieutenant Judd Austin is brought onto the case, who quickly establishes that the latest victim had been enrolled in evening classes at Wendell College, a local girls' school. As suspicions fall on anthropology professor Vincent Millett — whose extra-curricular liaisons with his students are well-known — the black motorcycle helmet-wearing, Gurkha blade-wielding killer strikes again and again, each time decapitating a young woman connected with the school and disposing of the head in water. Can Lieutenant Austin unmask the maniac before the entire female student body loses their heads? A superlative slasher hailing from the golden age of the slice-and-dice boom, 1981’s NIGHT SCHOOL was the final film from celebrated English director Ken Hughes (Casino Royale, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang), and the feature debut of Golden Globe-nominated actress Rachel Ward (The Final Terror, Fortress). Boasting cinematography from David Cronenberg regular Mark Irwin (Videodrome, The Fly) and a score by Brad Fiedel (The Terminator, Fright Night), NIGHT SCHOOL was branded a “video nasty” in the UK and censored due to its scenes of shocking violence. Now newly restored in 4K from its original camera negative and loaded with brand new bonus features, Vinegar Syndrome is thrilled to unveil this slasher classic on UHD for the first time ever in an edition that goes straight to the top of the class! directed by: Ken Hughesstarring: Rachel Ward, Leonard Mann, Joseph R.
