Storyline

Over a long holiday weekend, unable to escape the confines of their sorority house, a handful of unsuspecting girls are left behind to enjoy the quiet sanctuary. The normal house staff has taken off for the weekend, leaving the girls to fend for themselves. Thankfully someone was kind enough to send them a temporary replacement chef to cook their meals. However, when the girls start disappearing one-by-one, they begin to suspect something may not be quite right.

Darn good job for low-budget flick

I suppose I expected a more original idea but much less professional acting. Most of the actors were better than I'm accustomed to seeing in low-budget flicks. The idea was not too creative, but the murders were well done. What I would have liked is more attention to the "forensic scene" -- which I thought had the weakest acting, incidentally. The scenes at the 2 final locations were unexpected and therefore superb. As for the settings, in my opinion they were much better than I had expected of a low budget indie. Set dressing equally good. Lighting was also superior for a budget as low as this one was said to be. Good closeups, 'though I thought they could have used a few more.
