Watched this film and it was a bit different than I was expecting. I was expecting more of a slasher, but it had a bit of mystery going on too. I watched, The House On Sorority Row recently too and that one featured a kill spree started with a gun and this one does as well. So using a gun for your jokes and your stupid pledge initiations not a good idea. I honestly hate the whole fraternity and sorority thing anyways so I say just ditch them as they accomplish nothing but ostracizing anyways. Or, in this movie's case a angry father hellbent on revenge.
The story has two pledges having to deal with a very crazy initiation of having a gun dry clicked at their head. Why the need to for fake bullets, who knows? I guess so someone can replace one of the fake bullets with a real one and blast someone's head off as what happens to one of the girls. Seven years later the girls are given an invitation that they poorly choose to accept and soon they are whisked to a house in the middle of nowhere by two guys and left. Thankfully, the two guys try to stay, but in the end, that did not work so well for those two poor dopes as there is more going on than a crazy dad trying to get revenge on the girls he blames for his daughter's death!
It was somewhat interesting, but just not enough to be a really good movie. There are some silly things going on as the father could have just started his game earlier if he knew who the person responsible was. The two I feel the worst for are the guys who just wanted to have some fun and end up trying to protect the girls, but coming up with not so clever ways to do so, I mean, why separate the girls? Makes more sense to keep them together at all times, the father was the least of their worries after all.
So not horrible, but not great either. The twist at the end was pretty good though as I did not see that coming; however, in retrospect probably should have as the one girl's explanation did not really sit well with me. Not entirely a slasher, but there are hints of slasher in this one as we have people being killed when alone and in different ways and this one was out before the big slasher boom so maybe this one set some of the rules. An interesting watch, but just needed a bit more to it.
