There's very little that's good about this film. A coach transporting a load of schoolgirls breaks down in the countryside and all the girls book into an off-season hotel for the night. Unfortunately a group of homicidal mental patients have just escaped from a nearby hospital. You can guess the rest.
It's just plain bad all the way through. The outdoor scenes switch from day to night time all over the place. The dialogue for the girls and their teachers is atrociously written. The murders are a joke...victims never try and escape, they just stand still and wait for the murderous escapees to do their worst. One hilarious moment involves a small group who happen to be staying in a small tent in a field...as soon as night falls the scene switches to a very obvious studio interior which looks nothing like the field setting, and you can hear all the echoes of the dialogue bouncing off the walls! None of the cast are convincing actors. The script makes the mistake of giving the band of murderers far too much to say, and they come across as very affected...they may as well have had them say "Ooh, we're mad, we are!". The film just rolls along until it peters out, and it even ends with a really terrible warbling love song!! So there you have it - just one long list of bad points. Nothing good to say about this film at all. It's quite obscure and hard to find now, but save yourself the effort and leave it in obscurity where it belongs.
