What happens

Coda is a 1987 Australian made-for-TV horror mystery film directed by Craig Lahiff who described it as "very much a telefilm. I suppose it's very Hitchcocky - and de Palma inspired". It was the first of three films Lahiff had arranged finance for which were made in succession. The film focuses on a serial killer targeting female university students. It was shot on location at Flinders University on 16mm and features women in all the lead roles. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
