Just Death. 1928, Kentucky. A horrific disease known as “The White Plague” claimed over 63,000 lives.

It's supposed to be a college initiation, but things go sour when the ghosts of the plague victims show up! This movie successfully combines grisly locations & F/X with stunningly beautiful women and a kinetic editing style for an amazingly entertaining film. What's more, the ending is actually moving. It boggles the mind to think of the time & effort put into creating this film. Such attention to detail and professionalism is rare, particularly in low-budget independent fare.
