A group of sorority girls rent a house for the summer and plan to meet up with some frat boys who concoct a ruse to get the house mother to go away for a week. The house comes with a couple of creepy caretakers and an overly involved property owner.
Flashback to 1985 where a few guys in a fraternity go on a panty raid. Their newest pledge is hoisted into the bedroom and instructed to grab some underwear. But instead of stealing it, he tries it on and preens in front of the mirror. When he is caught by the girls, he panicks and runs down stairs through a huge party and out into the street never to be seen again. Later a body is discovered in the woods but is too mutilated to determine the sex of the victim.
Back to the present, a killer is on the loose, and at 34 minutes into the film, it starts over. I mean literally the film begins again - the exact same footage is used. Why? All the scenes are repeated, with a little additional footage here and there. If the first 34 minutes were removed from the film, you wouldn't miss a thing.
The kids are obnoxious. Joe Estevez looks perpetually confused and Reggie Banister needs to lay off the hair dye. The sound is inconsistent, but then again the dialogue isn't that great so it's not a big loss.
The ending leaves us with too many questions, including why did the pledge blame the frat guys for leaving him? They asked him to do a panty raid, not make like a transvestite. He was the one who decided to try the underwear on and prance around in front of the mirror. I still can't believe anyone would be stupid enough to do that during a party at a sorority house.
