Disc 2 contains the feature film on Blu-ray, plus two audio commentaries, the interviews "Head Hunter," "Street Born" and "Stunt Killer," and the trailer. In Boston, a young female teacher's aide is found decapitated in a playground, bearing striking similarities to a murder from the week before. Harvard-educated Lieutenant Judd Austin establishes that the victim had been enrolled in evening classes at Wendell College, a local girls' school, and suspicion falls on anthropology professor Vincent Millett, whose liaisons with his students are well known. But the black motorcycle helmet-wearing, Gurkha blade-wielding killer keeps striking, decapitating young women connected with the school. Ken Hughes' 1981 slasher — his final film, and Rachel Ward's feature debut — was branded a “video nasty” in the UK; Vinegar Syndrome presents it newly restored in 4K from its original camera negative.

Description

They work by day, take a full schedule of classes all night and somehow find time for study and an occasional date. Women in the evening curriculum at Boston’s distinguished Wendell College do a lot to get ahead in life. But there’s someone who will go to even greater lengths. Someone who will do anything to get a head. A killer whose m.o. is the ritualistic decapitation of victims makes terror a required course at Night School, directed by Kenneth Hughes (Casino Royale 1967) and starring Rachel Ward (The Thorn Birds; After Dark, My Sweet) in her screen debut. Leonard Mann plays the homicide lieutenant assigned to the puzzling case. He has hunches, not clues. Suspects, not evidence. And a rising body count. Finals are coming early this year at Wendell. And for those who don’t make the grade, heads will roll.
