**_‘B’ slasher is well made, but one-dimensional and generally dull_** Several college students in SoCal prepare a dorm for renovation, but their efforts are hampered by a mysterious killer. “The Dorm that Dripped Blood” (1982) is a second-tier slasher that only cost $90,000 (which would be about $360,000 today), but it’s surprisingly proficient. The score, for instance, is effective and doesn’t sound dated like a lot of ‘B’ slashers from the 80s. (Clichéd? Yes. Dated? No). With the milieu being limited to the apartment complex (like, say, “Rosemary’s Baby”), the dramatics have to be entertaining, yet I found the characters relatively boring and the females subpar, although Laurie Lapinski is a decent protagonist. See this only if you need to see every 80’s slasher. The movie runs 1 hour, 24 minutes, and was shot in Westwood, California, which is just west of Beverly Hills in the Los Angeles area. GRADE: C-/C (4.5/10)
