An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

***SPOILERS*** Pretty Elizabeth Clybourn accidentally had her brains blown out in a sorority initiation ceremony while playing a fake game, with a blank in the chamber, of Russian Roulette with a one shot derringer no less. It was her music loving father Edmond who then planned to find the person who slipped the live bullet into the gun that killed her. That on the 7th anniversary of his daughters death Edmound now known as Crazy Eddie sent invitations to the girls at the initiation, unsigned of course, with $500.00 in each letter for them to show up on this out of the way place for a what was thought to be an all night orgy into the wee morning hours. What Crazy Eddie's invitation to the girls and the two guys, Joe & Mark, who tagged along was really a death trap to kill everyone who was at his daughter fatal initiation ceremony! With the two unsuspecting guys, who had nothing to do with it, just for good measures or to hike up the body count!Arthur Franz as the crazed Edmound "Crazy Eddie" Clybourn has planned this get together for the girls for some seven years and during that time he lost it to the point that he's by now completely divorced from reality.That in his insane hatred of the girls whom he holds responsible for his beautiful blond daughter Elizabeth's death. Unknown to the girls Crazy Eddie has a partner or collaborator among them thats how secretly helping him set them up for the kill. What the wild and crazy guy doesn't quite realize is the true reasons for Eizabeth's death which will come as a great shock to him when finds them out. That when finally reviled makes the guy even more crazier,if that's at all possible, then he already is!***SPOILERS*** Taking his time Crazy Eddie Clybourn finishes off the girls as well as one of the guys, guess which one, who was there looking for action but only ended up fried. That until only two of the original five sorority members were still left alive. It's then that the truth came out to what was really behind Elizabeth death.His driving her crazy, like himself, with him forcing her to listen to his music, mostly classical, and flute playing which she greatly detested. By then the game of death that he was playing had lost its punch! With it now having no meaning at all to the nut case he then just went plain bananas and started wildly shooting, with his home made Gatling gun,at the messenger of the bad news. Only to end up getting himself killed together with his secret partner,one of the girls,who set the whole crazy plan of his up! for him But were in, like in most of these kinds of low or even big budgeted horror films, for a big surprise at the very end. Which by then there's really nothing left in the movie that could possibly surprise us!

B-grade thriller has a bizarre sisterhood initiation that involves a Russian roulette round that ends in tragedy when one of the débutantes is executed. Seven years later the surviving members are summoned to a reunion at an isolated mansion. Despite the welcoming party, they soon discover that the fun and games are just beginning, and they're unlikely to ever leave.Paul Carr and Joe E.Tata co-star as a pair of hired chauffeurs who inadvertently become stranded with the girls when the fence surrounding the compound is electrified; Tata went on to become a minor celebrity of sorts twenty years later in "Beverly Hills 90210". Playboy playmate, Clauida Jennings is 'ample' in her leading role, but she's somewhat overshadowed by her co-stars Boucher (a one-time Mrs George Peppard) and Howell in particular. Veteran Arthur Franz acts with restraint, though his role is largely confined to peering through door cracks, and making homemade bullets for his gatling gun.Mildly suspenseful with a couple of chuckles, the plot contrivances are weak and the pace laboured for the lack of material, but still, there's an undeniable b-movie quality that prevails. If you're not too discerning and are familiar with the cast, you should find enough here to keep you entertained.

In a plot borrowed very liberally from Agatha Christie's Ten Little Indians, Arthur Franz invites five women who took part in a sorority initiation that killed his daughter Elizabeth Bergen to be his guests at a weekend retreat. The young girl was killed during a game of Russian Roulette that was ruled accidental. But Franz doesn't believe it and has a weekend of fun and games for the sisters.Two men who were paid to deliver the sisters to Franz's home, Paul Carr and Joe E. Tata, invite themselves to the party thinking they could score with one of them. The five girls Claudia Jennings, Cheri Howell, Sherry Boucher, Sherry Alberoni, and Roxanne Albee are certainly enough to give any red blooded guy a reason to hang around. Of course they regret that soon enough.The bodies start to fall, the screaming gets louder and louder, almost like it's a contest to see which of them screams the loudest. The end of this film is totally bizarre and comes from out of the ballpark let alone left field.The girls in skimpy outfits are the only reason I can think of to watch this film.

During a sorority initiation ceremony a girl is accidentally killed. Seven years later, the girls who took part in this event are individually invited to attend a gathering at a remote mansion. It subsequently transpires that they have been brought together by the father of the dead girl, who is seeking retribution. Then a series of murders begin to be carried out by an unknown assassin.Sisters of Death is a pretty odd-ball thriller. The premise is fairly standard stuff but the execution is kind of lo-fi, meaning there isn't always a lot of suspense generated. But it does have some atmosphere and overall strangeness which does give it something. The story only sort of makes sense to be fair - you would think that the group would be able to do more to escape their predicament. But there's no point in really complaining about such trifling matters too much. But one thing that could certainly have been added to improve the film though would have been some actual on-screen murders. Until the final showdown, we don't really see much at all.But perhaps the best thing about this was the ending. And I do not mean this as a cheap gag. No, the ending was a little bit surprising. Although if you think too much about it, I'm not sure if it really entirely makes sense going by what's gone before. But I'll leave you to be the judge of that for yourself. Still, whatever the case, this one has got that 70's vibe that cuts a lot of slack.
