Movie Info
One of the most venerated institutions in higher learning also proves to be one of the most devious in this campus thriller, directed by veteran B-movie helmer Sidney J. Furie in the vein of 1999's The Skulls. The Fraternity stars Dawson's Creek and Skulls II alum Robin Dunne as Alex, a young college student indoctrinated into one of the more prestigious houses of Greek brotherhood at Runice Academy. But when a brother turns up dead, the fraternity's once-hallowed halls become rife withsuspicion, paranoia, and fear, and it's up to Alex to find out the truth about his brethren. The Fraternity also features Treat Williams.

Director Sidney J. Furie's visual style is the best thing about this cliché-ridden murder mystery set in a very familiar, ivory-covered, all-boys prep school. Robin Dunne, who is making a career of institutional suspensers (see Cruel Intentions 2 and The Skulls 2) -- keeps a stiff upper lip as he watches his bad behavior spiral out of control, but he's just not very interesting or inspiring. Treat Williams, who is making a career out of institutional suspensers (see The Substitute series), is only mildly surprising during the revelation of the big Plot Twist upon which all the thrills are supposed to be based. You have to have tepid feelings for any film that comes down to that hoary struggle for a gun as two characters press together and the gun suddenly goes off, leaving you to wonder for just a second which one dies. In this case, nobody cares. ~ Buzz McClain, Rovi
