“Hallowed Halls” is the story of a group of teenagers trying to survive the night as an unknown assailant pursues them throughout the dimly lit corridors of their out-of-the-way Preparatory School. WASP-y teenager Anthony is a dedicated friend to the people he loves, but he also has had an ever-growing hatred for fellow student Judd, a scrawny punk rock fan. Unlike Anthony, Judd wasn’t born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He is constantly ridiculed and the butt of many jokes. In these Reagan years, Anthony feels that Judd doesn’t belong at such a reputable Prep School. This becomes more than obvious when Anthony plots a cruel practical joke against Judd during gym class. With Judd taken care of, Anthony is in a celebratory mood. He sets in motion a plan to have him and his closest friends spend Memorial Day weekend, the last three-day weekend of the school year, partying at their school. Homecoming queen Ally wholeheartedly disapproves of Anthony’s actions, but, her boyfriend is the captain of the Lacrosse team, and one of Anthony’s closest friends. Being that compassion isn’t one of his strong points, he convinces her to take part in their illicit affairs. It is with a heavy heart that she does so. Everything is elaborately planned, and their parents suspect nothing. They are left to their own devices... With the boarders and faculty out of the way for a whole three days, this merry bunch has nothing to stop them from partying like it’s 1999! Unfortunately, the year is 1985, and someone in their midst has apparently decided to "just say no". Too busy relishing in sex, drugs, and MTV dreams, they do not realize that this unknown assailant is crossing their names off of the attendance list... This Club won’t make it to Breakfast… |
