The House on Sorority Row isn’t a great horror with no real surprises and the gore isn’t anything special, kind of falls in the middle of those slashers from the early 1980s. Performance from the lead on the other hand wasn’t bad and it is at least watchable.

Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard is probably an unnecessary sequel and it does have its flaws from a flimsy plot and some of the humor doesn’t work, but for the most part I did like the core main characters and the addition of Salma Hayek was the highlight.
