As the alumni start vanishing and turning up dead, they have to work together to escape the building before they all die.

!!This film provides examples of:
*AlasPoorVillain: Walter might be a SerialKiller, but he's doing it because of a cruel prank his classmates pulled on him 10 years ago, and [[spoiler: the final moment of the film where everyone apologizes to him for what they did]] is the most notable moment of this.
*AlliterativeName: Meredith Modess and Carl Clapton.
*ClosedCircle: The school building has all the doors and windows locked, leaving everyone with no way out.
*CreepyCrossdresser: Walter's disguise has a skirt.
*GoMadFromTheRevelation: The prank caused Walter to lose his mind.
*LatexPerfection: [[spoiler: Walter had a secondary disguise that completely masked his identity and made him undetectable: Dr. Robert Young.]]
*MalevolentMaskedMen: Walter covers his face with a paper bag, similar to the bags used in the prank.
*MrExposition: Dr. Young worked at the mental hospital where Walter was incarcerated, and explains to the others what happened.
*MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler: Everyone eventually realizes how mean they were to Walter at the end of the film, and apologize to him to get him to come down from the ceiling.]]
*PrankDate: Walter is seduced by a hot classmate into getting into a car with her, then she is switched out with [[spoiler: his sister]], giving him quite the surprise... not the good kind.
*{{Pride}}: Bob Spinnaker is clearly the most prideful of the attendees. [[spoiler: He gains some humility at the end of the film to convince Walter to come down from the ceiling.
*ReunionRevenge: Walter crashed the reunion party to exact revenge on his classmates for what they did.
*RoaringRampageOfRevenge: After escaping the asylum, Walter plans to make his classmates pay for what they did in a gruesome way.
*SlidingScaleOfComedyAndHorror: There are a few horror elements, but the film is mostly humor.
*WhatHappenedToTheMouse: [[spoiler: Walter's twin sister]] had a major involvement in the prank that caused Walter to snap. She isn't seen attending the reunion, and aside from Dr. Young revealing who she was to the other alumni who didn't know who she was, she is never mentioned. Did Walter do something to her prior to showing up at the reunion, or even being incarcerated? We never find out.
