I caught this one long, long before MST3K got their hot little hands on it and I wish I'd seen their take; couldn't have been worse than what the original was - could ANYTHING be worse?
The plot (PLOTZ is more like it) centers around a fraternity initiating this thick-as-a-brick med student to go and steal a ring off some dead guy in a mausoleum. Seems our "hero" has to deal with some deep, dark fears (pardon me - ooooohhhh....) of death and dying and stuff.
Meanwhile, things are padded out with more stock characters than any two episodes of "Dobie Gillis" and music that would make the Del-Aires (of "The Horror of Party Beach" fame) retch. Oh yeah, and a surprise ending that's as much of a surprise as what you'd find in your Cracker Jack, only not as much fun.
Kids, let's put this in language this movie would understand: man, this flick is a drag, the kids are square and the story is nowhere. Don't go this road no-way no-how, man!
One star for "Ring of Terror". I've seen bathtub rings scarier than this.
