The Killing Touch. Olympic Nightmare. These are both great names, but they want with Fatal Games. If you watch this movie and think, is this Graduation Day, good news. You are not alone. Amazingly, this movie - a slasher from the late era of the genre - has never been released on DVD or blu ray. Give it time - everything is getting rediscovered these days.
The seven member gymnastics team of the Falcon Academy of Athletics could make the nationals, but there's someone wearing a black tracksuit that is killing everyone with a javelin.
This movie has plenty of interesting folks - Sean Masterson (who wrote for nearly every show Drew Carey has worked on), Michael O'Leary (Dr. Rick Bauer on Guiding Light), stuntwoman Spice Williams-Crosby, Sally Kirkland (who was nominated for the Best Actress Oscar and won the Best Actress Golden Globe for Anna) and short moments of Brinke Stevens and Linnea Quigley.
It was created by two children of famous people. Writer Christopher Mankiewicz is the son of writer/director Joseph L. Mankiewicz and actress Rose Stradner. And Rafael Bunuel is the son of Luis Bunuel. Yes, the sons of the men who created All About Eve and Un Chien Andalou came together to create a slasher that has all of the acting power of a porn without the payoff of hardcore sex.
Also, if you recognize the setting, it was also the same high school used for Jawbreaker, Los Angeles' University High School.
