Kelly Fairchild is a college student and a member of the Delta Ro Kai student fraternity. For several years, the young woman has had a strange recurring dream where she sees a man dying burned. To get help interpreting this dream, she turns to a university professor. Meanwhile, the day of the initiation to join the fraternity arrives: Kelly, along with some friends, will have to sneak into a supermarket and spend the night there, but in the large store there is also a ferocious killer who begins to reap victims... A negligible slasher movie born in the wake of successes like "Friday the 13th" and "Halloween"; the story is always the same: a group of wild and party-loving young people who are mowed down by a mad assassin whose identity, as usual, will only be revealed in the final twist. Therefore, originality close to zero, but some good moments of suspense and a couple of murder sequences "well made".
