In 1975, a group of school bullies at the Halston College torments a brilliant but shy put upon student named Robert Hyde (Graham Wardle) and accidentally kills him.

30 years later, a put upon girl in the same college named Becky (Raquel Riskin) is troubled because her parents are going away for Christmas without her and never found time with her over the years.
She is unhappy living in the town she is in. She realises Robert's belongings at the college and sees a map of his where he was picked on which is at the basement of the college where there is his ring she finds and carries it around.

She suddenly turns stunningly beautiful and popular but deadly at her school since she slowly turns evil and powerful causing some of the jocks to die of supposedly accidental deaths whenever she eye's them.

She also keeps seeing hallucinations in her dreams and during other times of what happened to Robert.
She looks deeper into his history on how he died.
She goes to the aid of her counsellor named Janine Gordon (Paula Shaw) who knew alot about him in order to stop herself from killing other male students at the college with her possesed power caused by Robert himself.
She also goes to the aid of her new boyfriend Douglas Waylan Hart (Cory Monteith) as his father was responsible for Robert's death.

A nicely done made for cable TV movie which aired alot on the Shadow Lane Canadian channel.
The story reminds me of R.L. Stine's work on his young adult novels plus some elements of the Carrie remake.
The plot is also very mysterious and suspenseful wondering why Robert is posessing Becky making the whole film watchable.
It was especially disturbing when we see what the bullies did to Robert's body.

The acting is stiff in the beginning which is usually typical for a TV-movie but it gets a little stronger.
There are some well done dialogue scenes between Raquel Riskin and Cory Monteith.
We also have Paula Shaw who we mainly know her for her minor roles like in Freddy Vs. Jason (Mrs. Voorhees) and the cult exploited action flick Savage Streets but this time she has a main role in this one and is super in it.
Her and Raquel feed off one another terrifically.
Most of these actors are Canadian locals which is nice to see them getting work as leading actors.

Blood flows out of a guy's head after crashing onto the ground.

David DeCoteau is fair with his work in this one and is much better in his work that is if you've seen his previous work in films like Creepozoids, Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl O Rama or even his work film project Murder Weapon which he credited himself as Ellen Cabot.
He shows lots of neat scenes and does well directing the dilaogue scenes with Riskin and Shaw's characters together.
TV movies are definetely his forte as he has the feel as a TV director.

The music is not bad at all and Joe Silva does a perfect job composing for a TV movie.
He has worked with director David DeCoteau many times in his other works including his so far memorable work in the made for video gay cult film Brotherhood IV: The Complex.
