Toni Daniels is an ambitious young journalist working for her college newspaper. Tired of covering the same boring stories as her peers, Toni becomes intrigued by the recent disappearances of several female students and believes that they may be linked to an on-campus murder that happened the previous year during the college's raucous Rush Week. Despite being certain that something terrible has been happening on campus, no one she talks to is willing to admit that the disappearances are cause for concern. Undeterred, Tori decides to investigate the mystery on her own, but before long finds herself becoming embroiled in a twist filled saga of deeply buried, and bloody secrets which attract the attention of a sadistic killer who will stop at nothing to hide the truth...

"That one came as a surprise for me! Had never heard of it but the movie feels like it will become a classic for me. I liked the story, the acting was okay and the mood was just perfect. It reminds me of many movies I watched at night on cable, and it felt great."
"I had more fun than I expected with this. Good characters and good use of location."
"A rare gem and a film that definitely fell under the radar during the slasher craze. A solid film though some of the kill scenes are off camera and film that should be apart of anyone's collection. ."
"Never heard of this movie, so I'm excited to finally check it out. The packaging on this release is really nice"
"Part frat house comedy part slasher movie and set in the 80's, this movie could easily have been terrible, but actually manages to be pretty good. Whilst not the most complex plot, it progresses in a logical way, and still entertains. Transfer and audio are both good, with no issues during playback."
"Given its setup, I expected something sharper or more brutal, but the film never really delivers on either front. The pacing is sluggish, the acting uneven, and the overall experience felt like a chore to get through. Unfortunately, this one didn’t work for me at all."
"Solid slasher."
"you know what this is, how can you not love it"
"Great later slasher film with cool artwork. Good interviews too."
"Fun college setting slasher. The transfer is excellent and the special features are great. Highly recommended."
