Rated:

Pretending to do research for his newspaper, college student Alex Marsh teams up with the somewhat older Susan Swayze, who he long admired from afar. Susan participates in The Assassination Game, in which every player tries to shoot another with a toy dart gun, until only one remains. While doing his best to win her over, and helping her finding her targets, Alex discovers that this year the Game may be more serious than most contenders realize...

REVIEW

  1. Written and directed by Nick 'Michael Myers' Castle, Tag features a pre-Terminator Linda Hamilton as the 'final girl' up against a fresh faced Bruce Abbott. On the surface, Tag is not a slasher - a gun as the weapon of choice states this case - but the sub-genre's influence becomes more present as the film rumbles on. A James Bond title card homage and schmaltzy romance tomfoolery tries to hide its slasher roots. However, Abbott's gun-toting maniac has other ideas, stalking his way through the long, dark campus corridors, picking off his victims, one by one. It's PG soft but daft fun.
