**_Schlocky 1981 high school slasher, but entertaining_** After a high school girl falls dead from a blood clot during a 200-meter race, members of the track team are slain one-by-one. Patch Mackenzie plays the dead student’s sister, returning from the military, while Christopher George plays the harsh coach. E. Danny Murphy is on hand as the girl’s grieving boyfriend. “Graduation Day” (1981) is a cheap slasher…
