**_“Hidden gem” from the mid-80s in the thriller/horror category_** Four females from a Catholic college in Virginia head to Fort Lauderdale for Spring Break, but inadvertently see something they shouldn’t have seen in a Southern town along the way.

Other themes include injustice, the corruption of an authority figure and the responsibility of those in subordinate positions. It runs 1 hour, 29 minutes, and was shot in Medley, Florida, which is 15 miles northwest of Miami and 30 miles southwest of Fort Lauderdale. GRADE: B
