Susan’s History with this movie: I saw this movie in bits and pieces about 15 years ago so I remember very little. Excited to see it, but no bias of previous knowledge going in.
Play by Play
First scene is a woman losing her baby in a hospital and not very happy about it. Titles roll through a happy sorority house. So a Creepy Older Lady goes to visit an Older Doctor Dude. She tells him that she is going to complete some mission and he better not stop her. Doctor dude is threatened and stands down.
Moving on…..to a completely different scene….This girl is firing a gun with her boyfriend. I will now call this girl Gun Girl because I feel she may have a substantial part in the movie.
The movie now jumps back to the sorority house where the ladies are celebrating their graduation…and getting very drunk! So Creepy Older Lady owns the sorority house and she is NOT happy that the girls are celebrating when “HER HOUSE IS CLOSED!”
So …..now Gun girl is back and she invited her curly haired boytoy up for a fun time. Sex scene…..not very explicit but I will give a nod to them for making sure we saw they were using a condom. All safe sex fun is halted when Creepy Old Lady storms in and slashes…..her waterbed. Yes…..a waterbed. Gun Girl is pissed about her bed and vows to get back at creepy old lady.
DUDE! Gun girl’s plan goes crazy and she accidently shoots old creepy lady. They decide to hide the body in the pool. I’m not seeing a real heroine in this story yet. These girls are all kind of dumb.
The girls then throw a party in the house. I’m now hoping the worst for them. They are all crap buckets. Oh wait! Someone feels bad. Her name is Katherine. She may be my heroine. She meets a guy I will now call him Sweater Vest and he wipes her tears and they go back to the party of doom.
Yep! Found my heroine. They realize that creepy old lady is no longer in the pool and may be alive. Katherine wants to call the police but is overthrown by her sisters and they decide to try and find her on their own and dispose of the body again. Really dumb girls.
The girls start being killed one after the other….but on another note. The party band is REALLY good in this movie. Who are they?
Back to the story….Katherine goes to investigate and she finds an attic full of toys. Creepy toys. Sweater Vest comes up and Katherine tells him to leave because she is scared of what is up in the attic with her. Sweater Vest leaves.
Many sorority sisters are killed…..and I will say the scenes were very well shot. I’m very impressed.
AHHHH…..Katherine figures out that old creepy lady is wanting retribution on the ladies of the sorority house because she was unable to conceive a child and they did not leave the house on the day of her sons would be birth. Good lord……….
Craziness ensues when we realize the killer has left her body and is using another body to kill. Doctor dude drugs Katherine to use her as bait to find the killer. Sweater Vest gets shot in confusion and Katherine uses this distraction to get away. Katherine slashes Doctor Dude in defense. Some GREAT scenes come after this. Watch them yourself!
CREEPIEST DAMN ENDING OF A MOVIE EVER!
I really did like this film even though most of the characters made me furious. The last 30 minutes are AMAZING and will keep me sleepless for a while.
Feminist Slasher Project Research:
This is a hard one to start out with because while I did prove my point with one female character, there were about 12 other women in this movie that made me hate my gender. Yes, I’m talking about you Gun Girl! Katherine steps up and turns against her friends in order to do what is right and save other lives. To be very truthful though, none of the devastation in the movie would have happened if these young college women were not so evil in nature. So I will have to say there was some sexism involved in the story line. I’m going to give this a green light in the Feminist Slasher Project because I did prove the main point. A chick did save the day.
