Final Examination is a murder mystery film and not what the front cover suggests. No supernatural element here, just a good old fashioned who done it.

Starring Kari "Sliders" Wuhrer we see a girl killed off during a hawaiian sorority reunion and a new cop transferred in from the big city is on the case. Teamed up with Wuhrer who is a terrible actress but on better than usual form here, it plods along like a standard made for television movie and provides no surprises.

For what it is it's not terrible, it looks solid, it sounds solid and the writing is competent.

What let's it down is just the overwhelming unoriginality and just how predictible the whole thing is.

If by the halfway point you haven't worked things out then I would find that all kinds of concerning.

For fans of murder mysterys this is lackluster, for every else.........worse.

The Good:

All made competently enough

The Bad:

Unoriginal

Very by the numbers

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

When a killer is loose within a resort it makes perfect sense to go off alone......at night

Hugh Janus is a realistic name to use in a serious movie

Well, what can you say. At first I thought it was going to be an amazing thriller. Boy, was I wrong. After ten minutes the first pair of boobs pops out. Which stays on screen for about 5 minutes during a shower scen, which i personally thinks could have been edited out. It provide absolutely nothing to the plot or movie whatsoever (The 10-votes are probably a result of these scenes). Practically every female actress in this movie show her boobs or butt. Everything about this movie is bad, except maybe Brent Huff, who does a average performance by managing to look relaxed throughout the whole movie. And I've seen at least two sequences in this B-flick that is directly taken from "Get Carter" with Stallone... My advice is: Don't see this movie unless you're really desperate for lousy porn!

I don't know the last time I even thought about Skinemax films. Oh right, when I was a teenager. No acting ability, no plot, and female nudity showcased in the lamest most exploitive way. Don't even bother.

This movie, had to be one of the worst I've seen in a while. The plot to it was ridiculous, the 'twist' at the end was terrible and kind of confusing to follow. I was very disappointed from the time the movie started to the time it was over. The movie could have been good, if it wasn't a watered down porn, there was way too much sex and boobs (silicone being the leader there) and water scenes like the shower scene or the hot tub scene, not to give anything away, but who gets naked in a hot tub at a resort in the middle of the day? Even the music in the movie made it worse. It was more fitting for a porno or a movie based on hip hop in the ghetto rather than horror or suspense. I'm sorry that I wasted the $4 on renting a movie as unrealistic as Final Examination.

This god-awful turkey is one of those flaccid b-movies which is half b-thriller and half soft-core pornography. Fans of neither will be satisfied. The thriller material seems like filler quickly thrown together to pad out the time between the skin scenes and those scenes seem like filler put in fill time in between the thriller movie scenes. The porn bits I can't imagine would be particularly satisfying to even the most undiscerning watcher of soft-core material. Basically, lots of plastic bimbos and dudes grinding away in a mechanical and decidedly un-erotic fashion at irregular intervals. Actually, pretty much the entire film seems like filler material in terms of execution and development.

The fact lead actress Kari Wuhrer is in the position of the actress considered respectable enough to not have at least one gratuitous boob shot is indicative of the quality of the film given her oeuvre and work ethic. Pretty much everything about this movie is bad and every scene incompetently staged in terms of script, direction, acting and editing. It would take more time than it's worth to list and describe every inadequacy present in Final Examination. Obviously this isn't a subgenre that sets high standards, really only existing to provide a few cheap thrills and some T&A but this movie, and most others like it are just painful to watch, failing to provide any real entertainment on any level, even in providing those simple elements. The only bits that work on a so bad it's almost entertaining level are the car chases, which are quite obviously mostly footage from another far higher budget movie clumsily spliced with shots of characters from the movie we're watching. What makes these particular scenes even dumber is how little they have to do with the rest of the movie- both chases are possibly even more gratuitous than the numerous sex scenes. The tone and amount of in jokiness is indicative that the movie is not meant to be taken seriously and only meant to be a bit of fun but the problem is that it isn't. The inclusion of character called 'Hugh Janus' and the way the movie clumsily brings attention to this lame and rather childish joke is indicative of the level of script there is here. Avoid this movie.

This is definitely no masterpiece, but it is halfway decent. Considering the fact that it looks like something you'd see on Showtime late at night, it is fairly well done. And the car chases are good for a film of its budget. The acting, on the other hand, is atrocious. The very pretty Kari Wuhrer is a good actress, but the rest of the cast seem to be delivering their lines in their sleep. Brent Huff, who plays the lead, is especially horrible. He's so stonefaced that he makes Vin Diesel look like a Shakesperean actor. Other than Kari, the women aren't terribly attractive, but they have nice bodies. It's basically softcore porn. Not all these types of actresses are beauty queens. As long as their bra sizes are at least C-cups, they qualify. But unlike most of these softcore movies, there is a storyline and it is semi-interesting. And that's what makes this film adequate entertainment. Plus, as a side note, there is a Jim Wynorski in-joke that should amuse B-movie fans.

My score: 5 (out of 10)

This movie is one of the worst films I have seen in several years. It fails on almost every level. First and foremost the plot is tremendously weak, uninspired and uninteresting. Though this movie clocks in at only 98 minutes it seems like an eternity and nothing really happens or even tries to grab the viewers attention. Its just painful to dredge through and frequently resorts to equally uninspired soft-core pornography as a simple means of keeping viewers from switching off the video. The acting is laughably sub-par and unprofessional (even for made-for-TV standards), actors seldom convey appropriate emotion or even motivation, even in events where characters are informed of their best friends deaths. Even if you find this movie at your local megastore's bargin bin (and you likely will) its still best to keep walking.

Final Examination is billed as a horror/thriller but could be best described as a very poor crime drama. The film largely follows the perspective of a recently reprimanded detective (following a badly-filmed car chase that has little relevance to the movie, a recurring problem) transferred to Hawaii who stumbles into a murder spree. Had said detective been a comical half-wit instead of just a flat-out moron, there could have been room for entertainment. However, he basically plays out like any generic stock law enforcement/expert protagonist from a cheesy Syfy Original movie. And the movie, which exploits any number of horror tropes, suffers for centering on this character and his investigation.

The other big problem with this movie is a lack of focus. It begins with what looks to be a suicide via an insane driving stunt, followed by something that looks like a drug deal which ends up turning into a car chase and is in turn followed by an office scene leading into the transfer. Basically it eats up a good ten minutes without really ever going into the plot. In fact, the whole suicide in the beginning (which any horror fan would assume to be a central plot point to the movie) isn't even addressed until quite a ways into the movie. Frankly, the film would've been better off WITHOUT the opening scene given how it was handled and it could have been worked into the a flashback (or, if the director was competent, he would have used it as one of the detective's former cases). Instead we're given an incredibly nebulous plot that keeps working in minor characters and returning to other minor supporting irrelevant characters as the movie goes on. This sort of amateur production is completely unacceptable for a director with a number of credits under his belt. And although the acting was pretty lousy, I blame it more on the script and direction than the cast themselves.

A dismal soundtrack, terrible dialogue, a complete lack of focus, etc, all make Final Examination difficult to watch. The *only* upside in the entire movie might be a few nude scenes. Otherwise the film is basically bereft of any entertainment value.

I thought this movie had it's moments. I'm a big Fred Olen Ray fan and will see anything he makes. I enjoyed most of all the last 15 minutes of the movie with the climax at the waterfall scene. It was fun seeing Kari in the movie too, I enjoy most of her films. I thought the scenery was beautiful, although seeing more of the tropical locale would have been nice. The male lead was OK, a little wooden. Debbie was cast well, I love seeing her play a psycho. The other women were not bad, but cheerleader types would have been better for this I think. I thought the actress in the opening scene driving the car off the bridge was beautiful. The story was thin, but that didn't bother me too much. If the script had of been better, the movie would have been better. Hard to fault the actors when the material is lacking.

Artisan really cheats with this movie by labelling it as a thriller/horror. As many have stated, it's just soft-soft core. The acting is abysmal, the story goes nowhere, the deaths are clumsily choreographed and well, all in all, it's a big pile of nothing. From the car chase scenes in the opening, it's apparent that this film had some sort of budget but it's never properly used. The women who are supposed to be the hot ones are rather nasty about the face, they are completely made of plastic and couldn't act their way out of a paper bag. Neither can the two leads, Huff and Wuhrer. Huff has a wooden delivery and doesn't even seem to want to kiss the women he has scenes with (and who would want to? He could get plastic poisoning) and Wuhrer's voice is almost completely shot. She can't even pronounce some words as they are out of her range. (Listen for her phone conversation when she can't say the word "suicide.")

This is a terrible movie. It has no redeeming values and deserves to gather dust on a shelf. If you want a great sorority girls thriller, rent Black Christmas instead.

The director murdered this movie. Looks like he just learned special effects and used the same one over and over.

I gave this movie an eight because when I rented it I expected it to be terrible. It did not let me down. It was hilarious. I particularly remember one scene where a woman is showering for around two minutes. There was no point of this scene in the film as it did not advance it in any way. But that is the genius that makes "Final Examination" what it is. It is more than just pointless nudity, bad acting, and a dull plot. OK, OK, maybe it isn't. Plenty of shots of naked women saved this movie from just being another terrible B (maybe C) movie. If you are looking for a great movie to make fun of, this is it. Especially if you rent it and tell your friends it is supposed to be very good.

A hard-nosed cop gets punished by being sent to a Hawaii police department. While there, a group of sorority sisters start being killed one by one, with the killer leaving what looks to be a term paper marked "Failed Examination" with the victim's name on it near the body. This seemed like a cool concept at first, until they dropped it after the second death. In a way, it reminded me of Identity where they were all being left the room keys in order of their death, which made it unique, but I guess the writers on this one couldn't find an interesting way to go with this, which is a shame.

Overall, not too bad a movie. Seemed like it borrowed from Scream a little bit. The T & A was nice, mostly quality, which many people look for in a film of this caliber. Amy Lindsay and Debbie Rochon were my favorite actresses in this movie. I give it a 6 of 10.

Yes, this film nearly manages to be worst than the utterly dreadful film ' Titanic'. It has the same dreadful acting, unconvincing plot, poor filming, continuity and awful sets.

It was better than 'Titanic' because it was much shorter. It was also, quite unintentionally, funny. I'd recommend it as a good film to watch when under the heavy influence of alcohol.

I did like the idea that sending somebody to Hawaii was a normal form of punishment - it probably is a horrid place to be, but most people don't realise that!

If you do watch it, look out for the bloody handprint on the lift - it is obviously supposed to be some sort of clue, but it is completely ignored by everybody.

This movie was terrible. My friend works at a video store and decided on a whim to pick this up. He didn't know anything about the movie but he assured me that it was a horror/thriller. Well he was wrong and I will never let him live it down. I can't even talk about the plot because we stopped watching it 40 minutes in. It took about a half an hour for both of us to realize that this movie was soft core porn. I think the minute long shower scene in which the girl doesn't even use soap or shampoo gave it away. I can't really say anything more because I didn't watch the entire movie. 2/10

The only saving grace in this movie is Debbie Rochon. Although, there were times where she wasn't that convincing. But hell, she's still one of my favorite scream queens. Anyways, back to the movie. The plot was a bit contrived and the sex scenes lousy, and the ending predictable. But I still enjoyed it. 6 out of 10.
