Good start, but then it gets ruined

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

My sister knows of my love of vampire movies and novels. She asked me to watch "The Sisterhood". Come to find out later, she did it as a joke. I knew I had just lost over an hour of my life for nothing. I've never seen a more mind numbing movie in my life. What were they thinking? The actors were completely atrocious. They sounded more like they were reading cue cards(and badly) than talking from memory. Most of the movie was girl-on-girl action and touching themselves when no one else was around. Tasteless. Cheap, extremely cheap, special effects. Lame script. No plot(was it even really about vampires?) Crappy location. Were these people hired because they agreed to take their clothes off? I can't help but recall a quote when I watched this. "It just goes to show you, you don't have to have brains to make it in showbiz". And this film proved that theory. If I could have given this movie lower than a 0, I would've. I can't even tell you exactly what it was about. By watching this, I could physically feel my IQ points drop. Fortunately, I picked up a classic novel and begin to reload my brain back to full capacity. So, if you value your intelligence, don't even touch the case that the movie comes in. If you do watch it and feel yourself becoming dumber, don't say I didn't warn you. Pick up a Shakespeare novel or watch "The Gummi Bears". At least you'll learn something.

Who is the movie made for? It appears to be a soft-core erotic thriller, with young girls, bad acting, and a ridiculous story. Except that within those parameters, the movie is so chaste and simplistic, it feels like something the Disney Channel might have done.It is about a girl who gets caught up into a world of power and deceit when she joins an exclusive sorority. She eventually learns they are evil vampires and uses her psychic powers to destroy their leader. One of the more ridiculous subplots involves the male lead who goes from saving his virginity for marriage to walking around campus with sunglasses and his shirt open (an outward expression of how he has been corrupted). Like I say, it plays more like something from the original 90210 series than a movie that would play on late night cable.So the level of sophistication in the writing feels like it was targeted at preteens, but the movie includes scenes lengthy lesbian make-out scenes. So who was it made for?

The Sisterhood" was lame, stupid, sleazy....in a PG-13 kind of way, and poorly acted by most (not all) of the supporting cast....I will give Barbara Crampton a big break here! What do expect from director David DeCoteau?? Like Schlock and shock King William Castle of the 1950's and 60's, David has managed to become the King of today's B grade horror films. There is an "art" to making terribly bad movies that are actually fun, interesting, and entertaining. David always manages to capture this on film. On a positive note, I really liked Joe Silva's tech-no dance beat score, especially during the hot erotic opening sequence and ending credit roll. I compare his movies to that of a train wreck......so horrible, yet it is hard to take your eyes off it!! 5 out 10

DeCoteau has to be one of the worst "directors" working today in any genre, and it has nothing to do with his movies usually containing homoerotism and having guys run around in their matching boxer briefs. Remember... anyone in tight black underwear is satanic and evil and want to suck out your blood/soul... such deep symbolism here). I just sat through The Sisterhood to give him his fair shakes, I try to watch every horror movie I can and this one had Barbara (FROM BEYOND, RE-ANIMATOR) Crampton in it (I had previously been sucked in to the world of DeCoteau thanks to Linnea Quigley, Adrienne Barbeau and several other actresses I like).Lemme tell you what about The Sisterhood... Like the other reviewer pointed out, the supposed plot involves lesbian vampires on a college campus. But never has a parade of hot young babes ("actresses" if you want) running around dressed in bras, panties and bikinis been so boring. The movie has no plot, no gore, no nudity and the dialog is ridiculous and seems like they made it up as they go along. Parts are put in slow-motion and repeated many times to push the running time up. About ten minutes of this one consists of characters just walking around on campus (oh, the excitement!) that looks more like a hotel resort than any college I've ever been to. And the acting is the absolute worst. The only thing these girls do well is lean forward and bend over to show off their bodies. The cast were so devoid of talent that I'd be shocked to see any of them get a one-day walk-on role on Passions in the future. Ditto for the guys. Yeah DeCoteau squeezed more hot guys in underwear in this one, too... Guys who should be in some K-Mart brochure instead of trying to act. Do these people actually have to audition or just show up in Dave's office and take their clothes off? I think the answer is obvious.I am willing to give any movie a chance if 1.) it's intelligently written, well directed, original and competently acted (or hell, even ambitious and stylish)... Or 2.) it is chock full of gore, nudity, assorted trashiness and/or it's unintentionally hilarious. David DeCoteau's movies deliver NONE of that and they do it on better-than-usual production values for direct-to-video flicks. What a waste! So what is the appeal, especially with the advent of porn of the soft- and hard-core variety that's easily accessible to anyone with a computer? I simply cannot answer that.DeCoteau is a gay horror director and could use his resources to put a unique spin on the genre. Instead, he produces mind-numbing drivel without an ounce of talent or intelligence shining through. Ironically, when you think about it, his films are anything BUT pro-gay. They actually make homosexuality seem seedy, secretive and sinister. The obviously gay characters in his films are always trying to corrupt, seduce and/or kill off the innocent, sexually-confused leads. There's no shading here to make things interesting. The protagonists are naive and seldom prove themselves to be strong, assertive or confident in who they are. I would understand this plotting if Jerry Falwell, Fred Phelps or Dr. Laura starting making direct-to-video horror films, but from a gay director, it just goes to show that he puts almost no thought into these beefcake cheese-fests.
