An American slasher movie filmed in Canada and directed by J. Lee Thompson, written by John C.W. Saxton and starring Melissa Sue Anderson and Glenn Ford. It was released May 15, 1981. The film has since become something of a cult classic among fans of the slasher genre, who primarily hail it for its bizarre (and vicious) murder scenes and its twisted climactic revelation.
Virginia "Ginny" Wainwright is a pretty and popular high school senior at Crawford Academy. She is one of her school's "Top Ten": an elite clique which comprises the richest, most popular and most snobbish teens at the Academy. Top Ten member Bernadette O'Hara is confronted by a killer whose face cannot be seen. Unable to flee, she struggles and then plays dead to catch the Killer off-guard. She fights the killer off, then runs off to get help. Instead, Bernadette finds a student whom she obviously knows well. She pleads her ordeal, only to have her throat slit when this student (whom the audience still cannot see) turns out to be the Killer. Ginny's fellow Top Ten members are murdered in vicious and violent ways, Ginny invites Steve, another member of the Top Ten, to her place for a midnight snack. She prepares shish kebabs, and feeds him. Then Steve unsuspectingly leaves his mouth agape, and Ginny shoves the shish kebab violently down his throat. Ginny is taking a shower while fighting to remember everything up to that point. Ginny realizes that she may have killed her friends after all.

This is a great laugh for me, better acting then expected and unexpecting Killer. A great movie that if you want a kick in I reccommend watching this.

Yeah it was one of the more entertaining of the holiday slashers. I particularly liked the final scene at the birthday party.
