One day, teenage Tiffany (Kelly Hodges) buys a crystal ball at an antiques store, and she and her friends use it in a seance - and all pass out. They come to soon afterwards, all but Beverly (Lisa Krueger), and when she comes to, she starts acting a little peculiar.

Later, Tiffany, Beverly, their female roommates and two guys, who are just along for the ride let themselves lock into a supposedly haunted house as some kind of initiation rite into a sorority ... and once in the haunted house, Beverly starts killing people. Eventually, the others manage to knock Beverly out, but by now the demon that has possessed her, has hopped over to Tiffany, and now she starts acting lethal - then though the owner of the antiques shop stops by, tells the others, the crystal ball actually belonged to his mother, a witch, who caught a demon in the ball, and now he as to catch the demon again ... and he succeeds.

The crystal ball though is soon sold again ...

Bad lighting, atrocious sound, bottom-of-the-barrel special effects, underqualified actors, uninteresting sets - yep, we are in shot-on-viceo no-budget land. And add to that outfits and hairdoes that are 1980's leftovers (after all, in 1991 tghe 80's weren't over for long), and you can pretty much imagine what this film looks like ... but none of that is the real problem of the film, the real problem is its ill-conceived script that spends way too much time with setting the whole feeble story up - including wasting several minutes on the most unerotic depiction of students playing twister you have ever seen and a few horrible dance scenes - to then bring it to an unsatisfying solution and one of these the-horror-lives-on endings that is dragged out endlessly. Add to this a very uninspired directorial effort that pads the film out with establishing shot after establishing shot even if the location hasn't changed in the slightest, and a serious lack of humour in a film that would at least have made a mediocre comedy ... and you have a pretty bad film.

Not recommended.
