Bo Derek is decidedly cast against type as Miss James, a kinky college psychology teacher who challenges her students to write a term paper on "what scares you." Budding criminologist Carl (Scott Rinker) lobbies for an "A" by helping Miss James research her book on an infamous serial killer, who in Se7en fashion "harvested" his victims and killed them one by one--then was freed from prison on a technicality. When Miss James' more troublesome student begin disappearing with alarming regularity, nominal hero Carl begins to wonder if history is repeating itself. But is the aforementioned killer responsible, or is someone else the culprit? Evidently intended for a direct-to-video release, Horror 101: The Final Exam is a Killer made its American debut over the Sci-Fi Channel cable service on April 16, 2001. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
