Storyline

Their house mother gets talked into letting the girls have a hazing party in a forbidden frat house, and when she goes there to make sure the place is safe, she first stops at a handy grave in the front yard to explain to 'Allan' why she's letting the girls use the house, and tells him that it was all an accident and it's time for him to just let it go. Allan doesn't answer her, since he's dead. Or is he? As she is nailing down a loose banister on the stairway, a mysterious figure appears before her, brandishing what looks like a tire iron, she turns, asks "What are you doing here?" and this person does answer her by striking her dead.

From The Back Of The Box
12 February 2002 | by viewerschoice – See all my reviews

College pranks are mixed with murder, madness and demonic possession in this suspenseful thriller set on a university campus. Phoebe, Vivia and Jennifer are three pretty coeds enduring the rigors of pledging a popular sorority. But hazing is nothing compared to what's in store for them at the annual April Fools party in the abandoned Delta Sigma fraternity house. The cold, brooding structure has been boarded up and off limits to two decades, ever since the death of a student in a practical joke gone awry. But the house isn't empty and whatever's inside has been waiting 20 years. Now its time has come at a party that's going to be a real killer!
