Movie:Combing two popular '80s genre mainstays, The slasher flick/fraternity comedy farce, 'Rush Week' is a horror-light, bloodless, middle of the road, slicer.
When the movie was released the genre had already passed from the early trail blazers, to the SOV abominations, and by this late in the decade we were onto the lazy cash grabs. While there were some great late '80s titles, like 'Maniac Cop' and 'Intruder', the genre was really in the death throes. It did manage to limp on until 1996, when 'Scream' reinvented the slasher as a tongue in cheek, meta observation, on the genre and it's rules. It has now been 20 years since Scream deputed and still fans are waiting for another revival. Surely with enough time there will be another.
