Running Time : 92 mins

Escaped mental patient Billy Lenz (Mann) returns to his childhood home where he was kept imprisoned in the attic, only to discover that it has been turned into a sorority house. When the occupants of the house start receiving threatening phone calls, their house mother Ms McHenry (Martin) tells them Billy’s story, only moments before he decides to relive his childhood!

This wasn’t that bad a horror movie. It featured lots of familiar faces (albeit mostly from TV shows) and had a reasonable enough plotline. The only problem was it started off incredibly slow, and this held off the jumps and scares a little too long for my liking. It really needed some more scares close to the beginning, and those potential jumpy moments at the start didn’t quite work out!
