Overview

Shy misfit Sarah Goodwin has a secret gift: the ability to control — and destroy — with her mind. When Sarah goes off to college with her more outgoing and popular sister, Patty, their plans to join the most prestigious sorority on campus are scuttled by snobby president, Jennifer Lawrence. Separated from her sister, Sarah is taken in by a rival, less popular sorority, whose mysterious house mother, Mrs. Hunter, is harboring a secret of her own: a scheme to harness Sarah’s terrifying power for revenge. Betrayed by Patty, humiliated by Jennifer, it can only be a matter of time before Sorority Hell Week erupts in flame!

Viewing Notes

I think this is a TV movie. Love the cast. Morgan Fairchild and Morgan Brittany plus Kay Lenz?! Oh shit, Shelley Winters as the house mother? I wonder if I saw this on TV back in the day. I miss those ABC movie of the week flicks.

Not a great movie but a great tv movie. I miss movies like this getting made for network broadcasts. Of course this was around the time of satanic panic so it was popular back then but damn this is a crazy ass flick to air on television. And with this actors totally game for it.
