Frat house slasher influenced by “The Evil Dead” featuring Tiffany Shepis and Nectar Rose During a hazing on Halloween, seven college students get trapped in a Fraternity house with an unholy book that attracts the spirit of a crazy professor who threatens to possess them. Can any of them make it out alive? “The Hazing” (2004), retitled “Dead Scared,” is a low-budget slasher with an amusing edge. It borrows from the first two “Evil Dead” flicks and is just as good or better. One of the highlights is brunette Tiffany Shepis as Marsha and blonde Nectar Rose as Delia, the former in a shining bodysuit and the latter in a bunny costume. The movie runs 1 hour, 27 minutes and was shot in Los Angeles. GRADE: B-
