Boasting superlative make-up and special effects by gore guru Tom Savini Joseph Zitos The Rosemary's Killer was amongst the first of the 1980s cycle of slasher movies and remains one of the sub-genres pinnacle points. The story opens in the 1940s just after the end of WWII and a solider receiving a letter to inform him that his girlfriend has found a new flame. The girl and her new beau are at the local college graduation dance but decide to go outside for a walk and to fool around. They are brutally killed but their murderer is never found. Resultantly the town... does not hold another graduation dance for over 40 years. The film skips forward in time to the preparations for the newly reinstated dance but somebody cant forget the past and wants to make sure nobody else does either. Soon a mysterious figure in an military uniform begins to dispatch the college students in various blood-splattered ways. Featuring cameos from acting legends Farley Granger and Lawrence Tierney Rosemary's Killer is elevated above the numerous other entries to the slasher cycle that followed by high production values a picturesque setting and perhaps most notably by Savinis aforementioned and highly original and spectacularly gruesome work.

Early '80s slasher movie. One of the highlights of the genre, due mainly to superior special effects and make-up by Tom Savini, the plot stems from events in 1945. After sending her soldier boyfriend a 'Dear John' letter, a young college graduate and her new boyfriend are horrifically murdered at that year's graduation dance. With the murderer never caught, the town refuses to hold another dance for the next 35 years. Jump forward to 1980 when the dance is finally reinstated, and it's not long before history repeats itself as a figure in military garb begins dispatching students in a variety of blood-splattering ways.
