After arriving at a college, a woman and her friends decide to pledge to her mother's old sorority after hearing it's going to be reopened decades after a tragedy on campus but as they prepare for the initiation a killer seeking revenge for the incident starts killing them one-by-one.
This was a pretty solid and fun indie slasher. Among the better aspects here is the straightforward and simplistic storyline that really plays into the old-school formula rather well. The lengthy opening flashback that shows life at the old sorority including the initial accident during the bonfire and the resultant massacre that takes place off-screen but still has some fun stumbling upon the bodies sets up both potential suspects. That the present-day material involving the daughter of the pledge who had been involved in the accident comes into the stories about her parents' involvement and their connection to everything going on makes this one quite fun. There's also a lot to like with the rather fun cheesy stalking scenes. The first encounter in the asylum where the killer strikes the staff in an attempt to wipe out the old witness is a fine sequence to get this started, while the attack at the campus room starts this one towards the frantic finale in fine form. This has quite a lot to like where it rampages through the cast in a frantic manner where the majority of the deaths occur in rapid fashion with some rather enjoyable indie-style gore brought about due to the suddenness of the attacks and ambushes that play out. Combined with a fine sleaze level here with some fine nudity, there's a lot to enjoy about it. The film does have some detriments. The main drawback to be had here concerns the rather stilted and underwhelming pace that leaves a lot of the film dealing with life on the campus. Rather than dealing with the killer going through the students one-by-one, this one tends to spend a lot of time on build-up rather than slaughter with the group hanging out for the initiation ritual or the guys trying to get their stash together. This all leaves the rampage until the final twenty minutes which is a bit uneven for a slasher film of this type which also goes along with the rushed ending that goes by incredibly quickly due to this uneven setup. Combined with the obvious low-budget indie production, these are what hold this one down.
Rated Unrated/R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, and Full Nudity.
