Introduction

Splatter School is a 1986 low-budget Japanese horror film directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa (credited as Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s early work) that exemplifies the splatter subgenre by emphasizing gore, practical effects, and shock value. The film follows a group of high school students and faculty stalked and dismembered by an unseen killer who emerges in the school building after hours.
