Not one of the respectable people around the school bothered to call the police or interfere in any way during the ten minutes it took for the grisly scene to play itself out.

The computer also had a good color sense in plotting an orange-on-black effect that neatly relates one scene to the next. The scene changes are slow, but the masking music makes them happily bearable...
