Set at the same college sorority house where Hugh Hefner shops for new play-mates, Sorority Row tells the tale of a practical joke that goes wrong. Several months after the fatal joke, people start turning up dead. Is it revenge from beyond the grave? Is it a crazy outsider? Is it someone who has seen too many slasher films?
Who cares? Frankly, I was rooting for the killer in this one as the six sexy sorority sisters are a lame bunch of airheads and all deserved to die. Carrie Fisher (as the house mother) brings some much needed camp value to this one, I wish she had turned out to be the killer, or the final girl.
The murders are creative, the plot is full of holes so big you could drive a station wagon full of pretty, white co-eds through it. Still, one could do worse than this film, it's a silly, stupid, fun ride.
I've avoided this like the plague (mainly because I think the original is one of the worst slashers ever). But I love Carrie Fisher and now I'm curious. I had planned on not seeing this and being OK with it. Darn you Pax!
ReplyDeleteGarbage. I hated this one, didnt find the kills to be impressive in the least and the chicks annoyed the hell out of me.
ReplyDeleteI actually didn't think it was all that bad. Is it as good as the original? No. But it was fun and nothing more. That's all I ask for sometimes.
