Sorority House Massacre

 

bullet

(Reviewed by Snake-666) - Worth seeing for serious slasher and casual horror fans alike!  I actually found this to be quite a neat little slasher, despite expecting some super-cheesy, girls-in-underwear slasher. Obviously there was a lot of female nudity in the film but that didn't take away from the actual story.

The plot is centered around a girl called Beth. She has recently moved into a sorority house after recently losing her aunt. Her aunt had brought her up since she was very young, and as one of the sorority girls said, it was like she had lost her mother. Since she moved into the sorority house, Beth has started experiencing terrifying visions and daydreams as well as shocking nightmares. All the visions are about a knife wielding maniac stalking her, and trying to kill her. Meanwhile in a psychiatric unit a patient has started experiencing visions of his own...about Beth. What is the connection between them? Watch the movie to find out!

It's at this time that some of the sorority girls are going away for a bit, so the remaining girls decide to take advantage of the situation...in come the guys, and the party supposedly begins...

I'm actually glad I saw this movie. It obviously borrowed from such hit slashers as 'Halloween' yet managed, in a way to keep it's own particular brand of originality. Much is made during the film of psychic ability and clairvoyance. 'Sorority House Massacre' is one of the few slashers that also does quite well in pulling off genuine tension and delivering shocks. While the movie itself is not terrifying, if you allow yourself to be immersed in the story it's quite gripping.

The acting, sadly, is sub-par. Angela O'Neill who played 'Beth' actually did quite well, but one has to question her acting ability when it came to continuous dialogue. She managed to perform well when she was required to be scared though.

Although the girls do indeed take their clothes off during the film and are quite poor actresses, they manage to do something that many slashers fail to do. They actually portray likeable characters and aren't the type you want to see sliced off straight away.

Considering the budget the film was pretty well made as well. The directing was quite accomplished and the finished product a quite well made slasher film. I'd say this is a film definately for the fans of 80's slashers and casual horror fans in general. 7/10
