It was a sign of the post-Halloween frenzy that The Guns of Navarone director J Lee Thompson would direct a stalk-and-slash horror. Yet no amount of high-tone style, technical expertise or lavish production values can make this outrageously contrived and overly complicated shocker any less lacklustre. Is college student Melissa Sue Anderson killing snobby sorority members during blackouts caused by a near-fatal car crash? The climactic birthday party of assembled corpses staged during a thunderstorm reveals all in a ludicrous bombardment of twists and turns. Cynically promoted with the promise of "six of the most bizarre murders you'll ever see", the deaths are inventive, but the graphic surgery scene outdoes them in gruesomeness.

Virginia is proud that she belongs to a clique. The best students at a private school. But before her 18th birthday, a gruesome set of murders take place and her friends are the ones who are falling prey. Could it be her? She suffers from blackouts due to a freak accident one year earlier. We soon learn the truth behind her accident and what is going on.
