The House On Sorority Row Movie Review
Tired of living under their house mother’s iron fist, seven sorority girls decide to pull a prank on her. Things go south, however, when the woman dies as a result. Now, the girls are being killed off one by one as they attempt to cover up her death. Coming out during the slasher craze of the early 1980s, this film brings pretty much what you would expect from the genre at this time. The premise of the film isn't entirely original, and not much else throughout the movie is either. Except for Katherine McNeil as good girl Katey and Eileen Davidson as mean girl Vicki, the sorority girls are rather interchangeable.
There's another one somewhere
McNeil and Davidson each do a decent job, but the rest of the acting in this film is rather awful--when do we ever watch slasher movies for the acting though? There is an impressive body count, with very mixed results--a lot of the violence is off screen or shown as shadows, with little to no blood, but we also get some brutality, including a severed head in a toilet.
That's quite a swirly
You will likely know how this one is going to unfold, but there is a surprise or two thrown in as well. What this movie lacks is anything really scary or tense, save for a brief moment near the end of the film. This movie actually has garnered a following, and lead to a remake, the title shortened to Sorority Row, years later. If you are a fan of 1980s slasher flicks, you will likely enjoy The House On Sorority Row--I was hoping for a bit more from it, but you can certainly do worse.
