A teenage track star dies of a surprise blood clot and her tough sister returns to town to find out what happened to her and if it was due to the track coach pushing her too hard. Meanwhile, the members of the team find themselves dying one by one.
The concept of Graduation Day isn't a bad one and it could have made for a great murder mystery/slasher, but there's no one to latch onto as a main character as the film flits around from character to character and subplot to subplot. The closest thing we have to a main character is the dead girl's sister and she disappears for huge chunks of the runtime and it feels like she's only there to act as a red herring. Some inventive murders and a tiny bit of suspense here and there keep things lively.
