But the next night, when the group stays late for rehearsal, it becomes apparent that someone wants them to pay for their actions. ho many will die before the final curtain comes down on these acts of death?
What Mat says:
A University theater troupe lead by Felix Craven open the film by preforming a hazing ritual on the new troupe members They break into the theater building, attempting to dodges drunken security guard Gus, to party with drugs and booze on the main stage. Things seem harmless at first until group super douche/sexual predator Chase slips drugs into one of the unsuspecting freshman's drinks and offers to show her the "secret room". Things go horribly wrong when Chases drug causes the girl to have a seizure, so instead of... you know... helping, he decides to cover it up by burning the video tape evidence (which his classy girlfriend was shooting). Things get worse for Mr. Rapist when the body disappears and they find the girl conscious once more but choosing to hang herself from the balcony. Now Felix, Chase, and Sabrina have to find a way to hide a body so they cannot be blamed. People start dying under mysterious circumstances as the three killers try to live life as normally as possible. With the body count rising the friends decide to try and escape a killer and keep their crimes a secret.
The Verdict:
If you hate seeing whats happening in your movies this film is for you. Half the time the screen is so dark you cant even make out what the characters are doing or who's saying what. Some of the acting is pretty good but others feel like they were grabbed right out of an HS b-squad acting group. The gore is minimal at best and not as bloody as I would have liked to see, to consider this film a slasher flick. The only thing that kept me going was seeing Glenn Shadix (AKA Otho from Beetlejuice) hanging out as a badass security guard for some strange reason. I found myself constantly checking my watch to see when the film would be over and waiting for the Climax to finally arrive... however I was sadly let down as there didn't seem to ever be a Climax worth mentioning. I will never be watching this film again but I am giving it an extra half star for having the balls/connections to locate Shadix and throw him in there.
One and a half Wolves.
