Years before Jonathan Kaplan tackled rape in The Accused, he dealt with another rape story – a rapist terrorising a high school – in this “three girls” film, one offered to Kaplan after his success with Night Call Nurses. It’s not as well known as the nurse series, and little wonder because this isn’t very enjoyable. Kaplan’s flashy direction occasionally holds interest and Dick Miller’s on hand yet again, but it’s done in by bad acting, and the very unpleasant rape plot (people who think the rape scene in The Accused was exploitative should check out the one here). At least the three girls are friends, but it's definitely a weaker New World three girls film. It's unofficial follow up, Summer School Teachers, was much better. You can check out the trailer here.
