Plots(1)
In this horror film, set at Pendleton University, campus legend has it that 25 years earlier Pendleton was the site of a mass murder by an abnormal psych instructor. When a series of bizarre deaths occur on the campus, assertive student Natalie thinks the murders are based on urban legends. (official distributor synopsis)
Reviews (1)
Overall, a decently made but utterly uninteresting teenage slasher. The first scene was a very pleasant surprise and got me in the mood, so to speak, but the 90 minutes that follow it unfortunately never reach that level. I think the slasher sub-genre is an almost dead branch of horror because of films like Urban Legend.
