John Hughes' first film screenplay; more than a little crude at times, but you can still spot the emergence of a new talent. This joyous parody of slasher films at the height of their popularity has a pleasingly loose quality, several bright, surreal moments (like Gary's dance with Meredith's sweater), and an enthusiastic, engaging cast. It also functions perfectly as a time capsule - with lots of great 1980s music, and a surprise older hit as well. **1/2 out of 4.
