Awful, but an entertaining guilty pleasure

(3 out of 5 stars)

"I'm mostly at a loss to explain why I enjoyed this flick. Generally, its not very good. The plot centers around a group of sorority girls who jointly rent a summer place and are forced to have a rental live-in chaperon, and come to find that a certain someone is out to avenge a 20 year old incident. The actual story is completely inconsequential, and the fact that someone is stalking around committing murders is something you just have to accept without any real justification. But there are many acclaimed horror films featuring a killer without a non-laughable motive. And the actual scenes of the murders/killing aren't all that interesting, just a terse pop, then they're dead. But I suppose that's ok too. What it is...a bunch of sorority girls running around in skimpy outfits that, contrary to almost every review I've written on this topic, is appealing. Its not about the nudity (which isn't really all that prevalent in this one), nor are the women particularly attractive. There's just a certain je ne sais quoi to it that makes it a mindlessly entertaining bit of nonsense. Or was I a victim of the Spaten-induced standards adjustment?"
