After an overly long scene of the witch rolling on the ground with blood coming from under the mask, we cut to present day and an amateur rendition of a college classroom where everyone is act-ing!
The movie mirrors The Curse of Lizzie Borden, which is no surprise since some of the same people are involved. Nicole has hallucinations in class, just like the lead in the first movie, and has a priest for a father. When the class decides to have a party in Old Lady Munford's abandoned mansion, it's the same house as in Lizzie Borden. So we've got some of the same actors, same locations, same plot, but it's much more painful.
Classmate Justin has a key as he's keeping an eye on the house. When he lets everyone into the mansion, we find it miraculously free from dust, dirt, and cobwebs. It looks like someone is currently living in it. The house is ornate and old fashioned except for two rooms which look like modern offices. To start the party, one of the girls pulls out some homemade burritos. Because nothing says college party like ziplock baggies of burritos.
The group decide to tell scary stories in the parlor. One story is that Ms. Monford's plastic surgeon put the blood mask on her. When her gardener showed up - he was having an affair with her - he finds her with the mask stuck to her face. Even though she's bleeding and panicked, he doesn't take her to the hospital or call the cops. Legend has it that the lady and mask disappeared.
Shortly after the story finishes, a hooded figure kills one of the girls and puts her head on a silver platter in the kitchen. When the group discovers it, they barely react. They stand around discussing what action to take as if they were trying to decide who to call if their car broke down. One of the guys even tries to make out with a girl while standing next to the body of their dead friend. Are you kidding me?!
Turns out Nicole is a hallucinating virgin, plus there is a subplot about girls being spanked that has something to do with becoming a witch. Foreign girl June has an annoying accent and gets in a slap fight with Nicole, reigning little girl blows on her. And it just keeps going downhill from there. This is a tough one to sit through and you'll get no satisfaction from the resolution. It's ultra low budget and you'd be better off watching the similar, but not so painful, Curse of Lizzie Borden.
