Plot
During an all-girl secret society college initiation, one of the new members is killed playing Russian Roulette. Seven years later, the survivors are invited to a college reunion at a lavish estate, which turns out to be owned by the crazed father of the girl who died. He reveals to girls that one them witnessed foul play and is helping him. The girls then run off screaming and try to leave, but he turns on the electric fence that surrounds the property, trapping them. The girls and the two hired men that drove them there start getting killed off one by one Ten Little Indians style until there are only two survivors, the movie then ends with a surprise if not nonsensical twist ending.[2][3]
