2000 - 87m.

After an opening sequence that shows promise it's all downhill as a group of teens who call themselves the "Dare Club" head-off to an abandoned mental asylum (and end-up deciding to play a game where they hide their underwear from each other - how's that for a lame set-up?) only to start getting killed while (in a unnecessary subplot) reporter Dee Wallace Stone is investigating Corbin Bernsen and his meat packing company who may have something to do with a past murder (the victim of which we're supposed to believe is killing the teens).

While Bernsen and Stone bring some steady acting to the mix it's just that this is a boring, pointless and painful time with a script we couldn't care less about and a subplot that tries to bring some seriousness to the proceedings but doesn't work.

Pretty much unwatchable stuff with only a so-so glass shard death and cool head decapitation being worthwhile.
