This low-budget slasher film centers on a group of college students working to renovate a dorm in Southern California when they encounter an unknown killer who interferes with their plans. “The Dorm that Dripped Blood,” released in 1982, is not among the top tier of slasher movies, and its $90,000 production cost (equivalent to roughly $360,000 now) might suggest a certain level of quality, but it’s actually quite skillfully made. The musical score stands out; unlike many horror films from the 1980s, it doesn't feel old-fashioned—certainly predictable, but not dated. The setting is confined to the apartment building, similar to “Rosemary’s Baby,” so the story relies on engaging performances, which I didn’t find consistently present. The characters seemed rather uninteresting and the female roles were disappointing, though Laurie Lapinski does a reasonable job as the main character. You should only watch this if you feel compelled to see every slasher from the 1980s. The film has a runtime of one hour and twenty-four minutes and was filmed in Westwood, California, located just west of Beverly Hills within Los Angeles. GRADE: C-/C (4.5/10)
