Jim Sotos directs this under seen slasher about promiscuous new girl Melissa (Aleisa Shirley) and the circle of death that surrounds her. The story is a pretty standard whodunnit with red herrings galore and an under-explained climax. There are plenty of '80s films like this one which are high on nudity and sex but low on comprehensive plots. This one just happens to be less than memorable. The bad transfer doesn't help it any as the night scenes are almost pitch black and the audio is very low quality. I only understood about half the dialogue but I doubt it mattered much. Slasher fans will be disappointed with the abbreviated death scenes and a real lack of drive the story holds.
