Killing Jenny

Chased through the woods by an axe-wielding killer, student Jenny realizes at the worst possible moment that she recognizes him: he's an old classmate named Dieter. The film sets up a straight slasher chase and then cashes it in for a punchline, betting that an awkward reunion changes everything before the axe comes down.
