The low budget direct-to-video horror picture Acts of Death concerns the hazing rituals performed by a theatrical troupe at Baxter University. When one such initiation spirals out of control and leads to near-fatal injuries for a female inductee, the members agree to keep hush-hush about the incident, and thoughtlessly leave the girl to die. Then it soon becomes apparent that someone is both aware of their actions and infuriated - so infuriated that he or she is willing to do away with the culprits, one at a time. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
