Final Exam is a low-budget 1981 slasher film shot in Shelby, North Carolina. Though the basis of the films plot sounds like pretty standard slasher setup, the film is not entirely routine. The film focuses far more on establishing its student characters and building a steady pace. Director Jimmy Houston also wanted to go against the norm with the film and decided to feature little on-screen graphic violence. Still, like most slasher films of the 1980s, it was battered by critics and received only a brief theatrical run. The film has over time built a small fan base among fans of the slasher genre and was recently (in Fall of 2008) released to DVD for the first time.
