A small New England college is plagued by a series of brutal, cult-like murders that share a similar pattern of killings some twenty years earlier. The lone survivor of a recent attack must team up with a veteran police detective and his daughter in order to uncover the secret behind the killings, revealing a legacy of murder and the occult that has been kept buried for decades on campus.

WE'RE GOING TO MURDER U
The film opens with multiple murders inside the house of Charles Green, the founder of the conservative Greensboro University of Greensboro, Mass. The students inside the house claim their university founder was a murderer before they die.After an interesting, original and well done title song ("We're Going to Murder U), Josh Green (Jamie Dufault) is headed off as a freshman to said university only to be bullied by an odd group of characters...for instance he is threatened by Loco Larry (Nick Apostolides) for looking at his girlfriend. She was in a wet t-shirt contest as a way to end the exploitation of women.As the murders pile up around Josh, he is determined to find the killers and is aided by Detective Forrester (Michael Thurber) and his daughter Meg (Samantha Acampora). Like any good 80's slasher, the plot comes full circle as all the loose ends are tired up as if we care.This is an extreme low budget film. The blood squirts and body parts are comical. What I liked about the film was the writing, the characters, and the campy dialog. For instance the McCarthyite drama teacher was Mrs. Bachmann (Mary Paolino). There is a 50's girl (Dana Haley) having sex saying "I like Ike" to bring her to climax. Josh's mother (Lee Rush) was also a fun character.There are no beautiful silicon stars in this film. It was shot in Rhode Island which is why they made the setting rival Massachusetts.If you love 80's style campy films, this one is worth watching.Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity (Sara Murphy, Dana Haley, Samantha Acampora)

Could have been so much better
Two women are topless only. With all the women in the movie, it had the potential to be so much more. 1-2 stars max

you'll lose your head over this one
Tagline:The Tuition Isn't The Only Thing That Will Kill You!Murder University is a low budget film that succeeds in its attempt to make you feel like you're watching an 80s slasher flick.Everything works to perfection such as the acting,the great musical score and the gory over the top kills.It had me laughing out loud a few times due to some of the clever and hilarious dialogue,it reminded me somewhat of John Waters earlier work.The Kills are great for the budget and we are treated to several decapitations,stabbings ,ax murders a Maniac-esque scalping and more!I was very very impressed with these on a dime effects even though a couple of them were CGI.The story is nothing new or exciting but that's ok because everything else that's great makes up for it's lack of originality.There are some highly entertaining characters like resident DJ (Juicy K Thunder),(Loco Larry) and quite a few others,the kills during the sex scenes really bump it up that extra notch to 80s Slasher heaven.I'll surely be looking for more films from Robert Griffin in the future.

Funny!
Funny and Stupid Slasher Movie.

but it does have a great deal of wit
A delightfully wicked homage to the slasher films of the 80s. Not a comedy / horror ... but it does have a great deal of wit. Recommended.

I love horror films and have hundreds
I love horror films and have hundreds. This is awful - bad acting and ludicrous plot. The waste of my time was worse than the waste of money.
