Downbeat and Depressing Dorm Slasher
16 July 2019
A handful of college students stay during Christmas break to clean up an old abandoned dorm and find themselves stalked and killed by an unseen killer. Could they be avenging some past transgression? Or are they just some random crazy person?

The Dorm That Dripped Blood isn't exactly fine art, but it knows what it wants to accomplish and it, more or less, gets the job done (even if it's done in a workman-like fashion). There's not a lot of style or extra frills, but some of the special makeup effects are convincing and the film has an admirable mean streak (just wait until you see what happens to poor Daphne Zuniga!)

The finale manages to scrounge up some suspense and it ends on what is, perhaps, the most downbeat note ever played in a slasher film. I'd say most mainstream audiences will be up in the air about this one, but slasher completeists should enjoy it.
