At Benmington University something very wrong is happening in Jake's dorm room. His roommate is about to take his homework to new heights. College will be anything but educational in this first film outing by author filmmaker Jorge Ameer. In the vein as "Apartment Zero" and "Bad Influence" comes this sordid thriller of depravity and experimentation.
Directed by Jorge Ameer, The Truth Within leans on a strong ensemble — Roddy Arnold, Dave Jacobsson, Orly Tepper — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 1994.

On the surface it's believed to be another urban legend - a supernatural being from the afterlife is violently killing anyone who cheats on their significant other in the small college town of Silvercreek, Pennsylvania. But the town's unusually high suicide rate is finally convincing both locals and college students that everything is not as it seems. When Maeve - a female college student - sleeps with Charlie, the married man of the host family she is staying with, both sense the deadly curse is closing in on them. Unable to get anyone to believe them, Maeve and Charlie seek out a local history student to help find answers and figure out a way to defend themselves. It all comes undone, however, as several people are horrifically killed by the savage being - one-by-one at a rapid pace. Eventually, Maeve, Charlie and the few survivors band together in an attempt to defeat the monster once and for all.
