torstensonjohn A remake of the cult favorite The Sorority House Massacre (1986), this film does not hold water. It's a valid attempt but the slasher films of the 80's held a different methodology. A sub par plot when a prank goes awry and a sorority sister is left dead, the other girls try and masterfully cover it up. In the semi-signature of 1997 I Know What You Did last Summer someone knows the secret. As graduation happens the secret comes back and bodies start to pile up. The suspense of who is the killer is mildly done and really not hard to figure out. The performance of Rumer Willis (Ellie) was the shining theme in the film. A simple, albeit direct style screenplay, the music score did not hold true to the scenes. Even a badass Carrie Fisher could not save the film. The highlight for me was the style of the killings, it was creative and held direct link to the beginning of the film. I have to give it a 4 though for the style of performances from others

Python Hyena Sorority Row (2009): Dir: Stewart Hendler / Cast: Briana Evigan, Rumer Willis, Leah Pipes, Jamie Chung, Audrina Patridge: The umpteenth dumb slasher film only this one regards the consequences of our actions. Pretty much the same plot as I Know What You Did Last Summer with a murder taking place and the burying of the evidence. Of course, several months later the guilty parties are haunted and eventually picked off in graphic fashion. Directed by Stewart Hendler who makes good use of locations including a bubble machine. They could have operated that bubble machine throughout the 90 minutes and still made a better film than the junk they eventually released. the cast do nothing more than scream and point blame. Who can blame them? Nobody wants to admit that they were talked into starring in a shitty film such as this. Featuring Briana Evigan, Rumer Willis, Leah Pipes, Audrina Patridge, and Jamie Chung who should all be ashamed to be part of a film this stupid. They could be filmed screaming over a nice game of tag and that would be more entertaining than what they were cast in. We receive countless horror films every year that are similar to this one, and they seem to test the lowest levels of intelligence. What we have here isn't promising. Rather it is a film that should be beat with a tire iron and tossed down a well and never seen again. Score: 3 / 10

Scott LeBrun Typical modern horror film, a remake of Mark Rosmans' 1983 slasher "The House on Sorority Row". A group of hard partying hottie college students pull a prank on an unfaithful boyfriend, only for it to backfire and result in the death of one of their fellow sorority sisters. The girls cover up the crime, vowing never to mention it again. However, you can guarantee that some character is going to have a long memory and be determined to punish the guilty.Patently predictable 21st century slasher, with characters about whom you just do not care. The actresses may all be very pleasing to look at, but give rather inauspicious performances here. The original Rosman movie isn't anything great, but at least there was some attempt made at atmosphere. The revised story doesn't offer anything interesting, preferring to basically tread familiar ground. There's a modest amount of very digital gore, and a mildly amusing weapon for our killer to wield: a pimped-out tire iron. We've got a standard "hip" soundtrack and dialogue, as well as updating to the current era in terms of technology. We have one recognizable veteran on hand, in the form of Carrie Fisher, who's decent and who gets to be something of a bad ass.At least, there's some novelty value in the presence of a few second generation performers: Fisher (daughter of Debbie Reynolds), Briana Evigan (daughter of Greg Evigan), Rumer Willis (daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore), Robert Belushi (son of James Belushi). But the movie remains no more than passably engrossing. Even as it works its way through the assortment of possible suspects, it does not, in the end, deliver any surprises.Plus, it's aggravating to see how so many of these current horror films seemingly HAVE to end a certain way.Five out of 10.

LeonLouisRicci This all is a bit confusing as there are so many Babes strutting and prancing, flashing and motivating in and out here and there that it all becomes a bit of a strain on the brain. Not a good thing in the Brainless Slasher Genre. Just some Kool Kills please. Some Gore-Art splattered with biting satire and irreverent denunciations.There are a few mildly interesting things here but in hindsight they are fuzzy because this is a Movie that is filled with a lot of filler. It whisks around from locations and time-frames and halts occasionally so the Sisters can bicker and bond and bond and bicker. Get on with it. The Fun leaks out of this thing like a punctured vanity implant. It is a busybody of a Movie that loses its focus more than once.Overall on the Slasher Scale it is in a Midrange of not Awful but somewhere in the c'mon this isn't that hard to pull off realm. It's not like there aren't a Gazillion others to steal from. Oh that's right this has stolen from its better Sisters, it just didn't know what to do with the Booty.
