Movie Info

Sorority sisters are frighteningly plucked off one by one in this low-budget horror film by Mark Rosman. Katherine (Kathryn McNeil) is a serious-minded, thinking woman whose intelligence is about to stand her in good stead when events turn dark and murderous. She and the more evil-minded Vicki (Eileen Davidson), along with five other women, cannot believe it when their housemother forbids them to throw a big party on June 19th. As a response, the sorority women drown her in the swimming pool.

R, 1 hr. 31 min.

The film is rated R, mainly for violence, although it would have been hard to set a slasher flick in a sorority house without including some sex and nudity.

an interesting and generally entertaining addition to a genre that is often characterized by a lack of creativity and mindless repetition

Not as gory or sleazy as your typical 80's slasher, but it's better made than most. Good acting, well mounted suspense and an effective musical score all contribute to its good points. But the lack of gore and low body count that starts to mount around the 30 minute mark rather than the 30 second mark is likely to bore
