It follows a group of people trapped inside their high school during a ten-year reunion who are being killed off by a mysterious killer known as The Redeemer.

The six individuals receive invitations to 10-year high school reunion: John Sinclair, a corrupt lawyer; Cindy, a party girl; Terry, a gluttonous slacker; Jane, a wealthy and shallow heiress; Roger, a vain film actor; and Kirsten, a closeted, self-loathing lesbian.

The man then shoots the janitor dead in the swimming pool area and, after hiding the body, makes a plaster mold of its face.

John, Cindy, Terry, Jane, Roger and Kirsten arrive at the school where the man, disguised as the janitor, lets them in.

While searching for a way out, the four remaining people encounter the killer, now disguised as a magician, wearing a suit and a cape, in an auditorium.

In the school office, John encounters the killer, now dressed in a business suit with a fake mustache.

The wounded killer then chases Kirsten back to the auditorium, where she knocks the gun away from the Redeemer, and attempts to shoot him again.

The boy killed a bully who earlier threatened him and placed the dead body in the car of a con artist Bible salesman who visited the church.

Meanwhile, Christopher takes the church shuttle bus back to the lake, into which he walks fully clothed to return from where he came.

[2] In a review published in the Los Angeles Times, it was noted: "In a year of trashy C-minus movies, The Redeemer (citywide) takes the prize as the worst.

They concluded the review by writing, "There are some really nice touches here: good cinematography; a genuinely creepy ambience and a likeable principle cast [sic].

[7] AllMovie called it a "genuinely disturbing proto-slasher" that is "guilty of the same gaping plot holes and cardboard characterizations as any other, but a good cast, creepy ambiance and swift pace make it an obscure gem.

Yes, it's got it's [sic] cheesy problems just like any other film of its era, but it also builds a sense of foreboding doom more palpable than a lot of movies I have encountered.

"[10] Ian Jane from DVD Talk gave the film a positive review, concluding, "Ultimately, despite the fact that it's basically a stalk and slash, The Redeemer has enough going for it in terms of creativity and unpredictability that horror fans should find a lot to like about the movie.
