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...

"Rush Week delivers a fun mix of college mystery and slasher thrills with a great autumn atmosphere. It takes its time building suspense, and the restoration really highlights the moody cinematography and artwork. A welcome rediscovery."
"Presentation on this one is excellent, with the original poster artwork on the reverse, and a very crisp transfer. Pretty solid whodunit style slasher with plenty of boobs and blood, and even though most kills were off screen I would consider this a certified 80s slashic"
"Great fun late 80s slasher - ticks all the boxes. Not too gory though, but good whodunnit style slasher, with Animal House frat hijinks"
"Not the best slasher film I’ve seen. But huge upgrade from my late 90’s dvd. Glad I picked this one up!"
"Cool concept and would recommend. Great package a always."
"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."
"A deeply underrated slasher that came out when the genre. Can't believe, I never saw this movie before."
"The girl from Halloween 4 shows her tits a lot and it rules. Great release. Fixed the aspects from the shitty dvd and the quality of this release is way better than it deserves. Fun title"
"I didn't get a slipcover since it was already sold out. Didn't really matter for this one. It is another cheesy film that The Hysteria Continues has fun talking about again."
"I had more fun than I expected with this. Good characters and good use of location."
