good back-story, and good acting
Ortiz
Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Being a woman, I don't spend much time in the boy's locker room...But I am pretty sure campus locker rooms aren't filled to the brim with a bunch of half naked soccer players downing liquor like water...And sucking on red suckers...Terrible movie. Don't bother.

The only reason this movie gets 3 stars is for the entertainment value in picking out plot holes and continuity errors. And also, I am a woman so I don't mind seeing decent-looking guys in their underwear getting alcohol dumped over them. By the way, the one guy got alcohol in his eyes, for sure. Ouch. And apparently frat guys drink vodka like water. SO... first of all, glasses + hair up = nerd, and hair down + make-up = popular. Love it. Next.. Why is this girl studying pre-med with books from the 70s? Hello, this is a field that is constantly changing and yet she is studying from books that are completely outdated. Also... Most colleges don't allow students to stay on-campus during winter break. I was also confused when the whole school left for Christmas break (apparently all filing out at the same time in a line, while listening to a campus-wide PA system. What???) and then the next day everyone was back. Was there some kind of time lapse where suddenly 3 weeks had passed? The party - apparently you can't count on a possessed nerd to bring the appetizers. Since when do frat parties serve hors d'oeuvres? Another question... who moved all that exercise equipment out onto the field? Also, during the soccer practice scene (not on a soccer field, of course, but on a random green space in between trees with people walking back and forth in the background), the same shot is used 2-3 times. And did anyone else notice the phallic-shaped peanut bar the one guy choked on? Wow. Finally... Why the **** did she not just take off the ring?!?! Gee I found a class ring on the floor and I am going wear it on a necklace and then when I start "murdering" people I'll just keep it on. No worries. I also loved the explosion when they threw the ring into the fire (aka the school's crematorium). Awesome.

Apparently everyone else who has commented on this movie restricts themselves to B-class (closer to D) movies only. In reality, anyone with standards might wish to rate this in relation to good movies and, consequently, give it the 1 star rating it deserves.I mean, where do I even begin??? Though I want to throw up on my keyboard, I'll give it a stab: 1. The plot was horrendous. A nerdy guy gets thrown over a balcony by a bunch of aggressive frat boys. Then, for no apparent reason, 30 years later another semi-nerdy girl takes out some library books previously owned by the original nerd and finds a map leading her to the basement where his class ring is in the middle the hallway (again, 30 years later!). Upon finding the ring she becomes quasi possessed with his spirit and, with red eyes ablaze, causes the death of the sons of the frat guys who killed the nerd. This all happens leading up to the big "Delta party" where, predictably, the rest of the sons die in pathetic ways to atone for the sins of their fathers. Why it takes 30 years to make this happen, or why revenge is exacted upon the sons and not the original perpetrators is beyond my comprehension. But then again, what should I have expected? 2. The over-the-top, absolutely ridiculous, and seemingly illegal homo-eroticism. Midway through this 'film' my fiancé and I picked up the DVD case to make sure we hadn't rented a soft-core porno. In 5 minute intervals (literally, you could set your watch by it) several of the young men would disrobe, run around, and during one memorable scene strip down to their boxers while pouring booze on one another while the others pranced with undone belts. In fact, I'm now watching the big party scene where three guys are dancing on a table in boxers while the rest of the college folk stand and drink. Apparently this is what Canadian fraternities are like.... Uh huh....3. The lack of understanding of college life is appalling. According to this 'movie' (sorry, but something of this caliber requires sarcastic quotations): colleges are attended by 20 people, soccer practices are held on the local green, guys lift weights shirtless on the same green (with weight benches and all), guys are initiated into fraternities by drinking a shot and dancing in their boxers (see point #2), girls are initiated through "hey do you wanna be in our sorority?"... "um, yeah"... "ok!", there is one administrator for the entire school, and the list goes miserably on.I could go on almost indefinitely but this 'movie' has already sucked enough time and brainpower from me. If you'd like to see a bunch of idiots prancing around shirtless, all the while cringing in wait for them to actually get naked, while listening to poor actors take part in a nonexistent plot then this is your flick.Don't say I didn't warn you....

For an independent film without much hype, Killer Bash was greatly entertaining and Raquel Riskin is a great new actress.The story moves along to an exciting finish.I liked the subtlety of parts of the story and sophistication of the characters.Good writing!The support characters were believable also.The location is perfect and the drama unfolds in the daylight and in the dark. In fact, most of the scariest scenes are in broad daylight - different - excellent.
