I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

I sat down to watch this not really expecting that much. I am a fan of Slasher movies in general and movies from the Slasher Golden Age (1974 – 1984) so came across "House on Sorority Row" by simply going through the back catalogue. One quick look at the lurid cover, the title, and a quick scanning of the plot I figured I would quickly be struggling not to turn it off from being bored by pedestrian acting, woeful direction, and a plot that was exploitative and, even worse, cliché…even back in 1983. Still, in the interests of better understanding the genre, I decided to give it a go and must admit to having been very pleasantly surprised.The house in "House on Sorority Row" has been occupied for the past few years by a group of average, fun-loving, all-American college girls who are keen to organise an end-of-year party. However, for the past few years they have had the misfortune of being supervised by the mean and austere Ms. Slater who forbids the party going ahead. Undeterred, the girls decide to play a prank on her which goes horribly wrong and results in the death of Ms. Slater. The girls try to hide the body but as people start being brutally murdered the girls begin to wonder if Ms. Slater did indeed die or if something more sinister is responsible.The movie has all of the plot devices of a bog-standard slasher: anniversary of a gruesome event long kept secret, hot teenage victims who question authority, imaginative kills, and the final girl. However, the movie does a good job piecing these tropes together and, with the respectable performances from (most of) the cast, a good use of location, and a reputable directing job, manages to establish characters early and build the atmosphere into a suspenseful and watchable slasher thriller.Sure, there are better films in the slasher genre (obviously the likes of 'Black Christmas' (1974) and 'Halloween' (1978) as well as lesser-known slashers like 'The Burning' (1981))…but then again, there are many, many worse films you could spend an hour-and-a-half with.

Full of eerie imagery, suspenseful murders and performers that are perhaps a tad better than you might be expecting, "The House on Sorority Row" is a subtle and slow-burning, but to me extremely effective slasher flick that is now one of my favourites, but for the longest time after I first ever saw it as a little kid all I could remember of it was that I liked it a lot, but nothing else except that an old lady was forced into a pool at gunpoint, and that it had a fat guy in said pool who says "I'm a sea pig!" And when I randomly got the cheap DVD that just happened to be it, it was the coolest thing as it got to the scene and I realised that it was the movie that'd been at the back of my mind for so many years. And it turned out to be a real diamond in the rough and my yearning to see it again was very well-founded. It's a very solid and entertaining slasher, one that I personally feel is very unfairly underrated and overlooked. I think it has a superb atmosphere of haunting dread and a level of sustained suspense throughout that I find quite brilliant. The cinematography is really beautiful and the look of it has a great use of shadow and light which gives it a certain weird crisp atmosphere that helps create a generous amount of creepiness. Its look is very sleek and bright-looking, but also shady and sinister. It's visuals help to set it apart and make it more distinctive from its more formulaic and forgetful brethren that were around in abundance at the time. The attic set is especially spooky with the children's toys and clown motif which is of course a little foreshadowing with the name "Eric" spelled out in toy blocks for a moment in the background. The film is also helped enormously by the score of Richard Band which gives it a lot of soul and depth that I don't believe it would've otherwise had. Just imagine it without the music. *Not* pretty.. There really isn't all that much to it, it is a very simple and straightforward venture and is definitely no gorefest by any stretch of the imagination, in fact with the killings it's mainly what you thought you saw, as it mostly cuts away or is done off-screen. So what? It's kind of got its own special thing going on and isn't just about waiting to see how many gruesome ways in which a bunch of random people running about can die! I mean yeah, obviously it's not a great deal more than that, but it's very well-written and tight in construction, with an engaging pace that flows nicely as well a strong compelling quality to its story that keeps me engaged the whole time and I've never got sick of it yet, I find it satisfying on all the levels that I think should count when it comes to a slasher movie. At least it tries to be a mystery by never completely revealing the killer and keeping you guessing until the end, and I love that about it, although as a kid I never quite grasped that it wasn't Mrs. Slater, even after they find her body.. I think it still does a good job of misleading the audience. And I found the group of girls likable and interesting enough, everybody had a good chemistry together, I bought them as friends. And although nobody was exactly brilliant or anything, to me they seemed like characters that actually had a little character or at least it was better than what you'd typically get from this kind of movie. I don't even mind the obvious dubbing of the puritanical house-mother, it's great fun to laugh at and it kinda makes the flick feel like a Japanese movie at points! The acting was good from pretty much all involved, with the big gaping exception of Jodie Dragie as "Morgan" who was a total airhead and had the acting talent of a porn starlet, which leads me to suspect that the only reason she was ever in the movie was perhaps because she was 'humping' Mark Rosman! The awesome moment when she blurts out: "How do we know she *IS* alive!?" is hands-down the most hilarious part of the movie and just has to be one of the all-time great terrible line-readings ever, it's that bad it's funny. Even Eileen Davidson chuckles at it on the commentary! No surprise at all that it's her only ever film credit. Take a bow, sweet Jodie! And Kate Mcneil was a good lead but I really couldn't stand her, she was so irritatingly goody-goody! Even though she's technically right about what she's saying, the way she delivered her lines just made her come off as a big 'ol stick-in-the-mud to me and she went a little overboard with the whole responsible one thing.. I thought she was great at the end when things get a little bizarre and she's all doped-up and lures the killer to the attic with the ominous musical jack-in-the-box just like his mother used to... And I still find the ending to be great and pretty unforgettable. When the jester unexpectedly lifts its head up is still one of the most chilling moments in horror movies for me. A little more jester would've been nice, but it's still an effectively intense climactic scene for the movie. And that's something else I love about it, the way it leaves things on a strangely satisfying ambiguous note where things are not looking particularly bright for Kate! Love this movie, I think it still stands as a superior little slice of this particular branch of the horror genre. Now "Get out of my house!" G'night folks!!

It's hard to imagine how low the bar was set in this field, that relatively early in the slasher something like this passed muster. If you want a prototype example of what is completely cliché and uninspired about this type of film, look no further. We tend to idealize originals and chide remakes for pilfering artistic vision, but this is no less of a soporific cash-grab than the 2009 remake.A bunch of sorority girls planning a party, a prank gone awry, the evil house mother. We see a girl put on lipstick (bright red), and she's the first to die. One of them is the bitch, the ring leader, another is the good one who tries to dissuade the rest.It doesn't take a genius to make a film like Scream then. Only someone with basic observation skills. The only difference between the Wes Craven parody and this, is that Wes Craven understood how laughably derivative a lot of this is.

Mostly a typical slasher flick from the '80s. In this case, a strict house mother is presumably killed by her tenants, a bunch of nursing students. Sure enough, they start getting killed one by one. As can be expected, there's some nudity - plus some drinking; remember what they said in "Scream" - and the strict lady's history eventually gets revealed. Although "The House on Sorority Row" isn't anything great, it's certainly enjoyable, and that's what counts. Seeing that the movie got filmed in Baltimore, I now wonder how it would have come out had either of Baltimore's famous directors (Barry Levinson and John Waters) directed it.Anyway, nothing special, but entertaining. Am I the only one who thinks that one of the girls looked like Carrie Fisher?
