Storyline

Melvin Hubble is the last in a long line of unsuccessful serial killers. Fulfilling his father's dying wish, Melvin sneaks into the Ro Ro Ro sorority house on the night of a big party and completely fails to strike fear into the hearts of the inhabitants. Unbeknownst to Melvin and the girls, there is another killer lurking in the house - one just as inept, but lacking in the courage of Melvin's convictions.

Quotes

Holly: Aren't you getting ready for the party?
Lauren: I'll hide here.
Holly: Oh, no you don't. Steve's coming over at six, and I plan on doing some partying with him.
Lauren: Arn't you reading the cliff notes of Lysistrata too?
Holly: Hell no. I took that last semester. This term I have the history of human sexuality, and I have my own homework to do.
Lauren: Sex all night? Aren't you afraid of attracting the attention of some hyper-repressed mass murderer?
Holly: When Steve and I get it going, we'll be far more frightening than any comic murderer. ...

User Reviews

It has a potential, but it is not used

I just finished watching this movie and I am very disappointed.

The explanation: The story is actually good! Very good and very funny. It seems like a parody to all the similar "horrors". But the actors were mostly awful. And everything else was awful to.. for example: when the cat jumps through the window, we actually see a hand which has pushed the cat through it. Also the blond actress has too much powder on..her face is a lot darker than the rest of her body and you can also see a line between dark and bright skin. I feel I could tape this film with my own camera...so,everything was bad except the story herself. I think they should have left direction and production of this film to someone who is better in it, because it could be a hit,you know...
