Well, well. Here is a typical slasher film, full of bad acting, undeveloped subplots, and the world's nosiest cats. I had a special relationship to this film, in that the lead role was played by Leah Pipes, a former client of a talent scouting agency I worked for in Los Angeles. This was probably the largest role I had ever seen anyone I know play on the big screen, and I had trouble properly evaluating the movie for that reason.
However, from what I could discern, the film was shot and edited in workmanlike, indistinguished fashion. It concerns a sorority prank gone wrong when a group of friends tricks a boy into thinking one of their group is dead. When they go to hide the "body", the boy takes things too seriously and actually kills the sorority sister. The rest of the movie is taken up with plot mechanics so rusty we hear the gears grinding. Is the killer now stalking campus the sorority sister resurrected from the dead? Do we care?
As a paint-by-numbers thriller this is perfectly serviceable, but I have trouble finding anything to recommend it over many better options in the genre.
