When an unpopular member of their sorority is murdered, suspicion falls on the rest of the girls in the chapter, and, confined to a lodge where they had planned a weekend get-together, they begin to suspect each other as well. A decent premise is undermined by too many similar characters: save for the pledges and for the athletic character played by Jeff Donnell, it was often difficult to tell the characters apart without concentrating. Moreover, the plot is poorly structured, as the murderer is revealed far too early in the picture, in essence transforming it into a thriller for the remainder, but it would have worked much better to have the guilty party concealed until nearly the end. William Demarest is amusing as one of the policemen.

  Mildly recommended. Otto judiciously thinks this movie is OK, but not great.

Movie 54 for 2021.
