\"\"The House on Sorority Row<\/em><\/strong> isn\u2019t a great horror with no real surprises and the gore isn\u2019t anything special, kind of falls in the middle of those slashers from the early 1980s. Performance from the lead on the other hand wasn\u2019t bad and it is at least watchable.<\/p>\n

THE MOVIE \u2014 3\/5<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Plot Synopsis: <\/strong>Come meet the girls of Theta Pi. All through college they\u2019ve lived under the tyranny of their resident house mother. But tonight will be different. Tonight the girls of Theta Pi are celebrating their graduation in the most deadly way they know. When these inventive senior sisters decide to do in their demented house mother, it\u2019s an easy task. But, someone has seen, someone who wants revenge. And no college class could have prepared the girls \u2013 or you \u2013 for the horrifying mayhem that greets them on that last fateful night.<\/p>\n

Quick Hit Review: <\/strong>With the popularity and success of Halloween<\/em> and Friday the 13th<\/em>, the slasher genre was in full swing throughout the 1980s, like Happy Birthday to Me<\/em>, Silent Night, Deadly Night<\/em> and The Slumber Party Massacre<\/em>. Among those was also The House on Sorority Row<\/em><\/strong>, a film I\u2019d heard of but never got around to watching. And frankly, probably for good reason. It\u2019s not a bad film per se however save for some okay gore effects and a creepy moment or two, there\u2019s not a whole lot that stands out.<\/p>\n

The killer for this film, thought to be the house mother these girls thought they killed, was instead a twist anyone could see coming. The acting is pretty much on par with a film of this type although Kathryn McNeil in the lead wasn\u2019t bad, even if she\u2019s not distinguishable from many \u201cfinal girls\u201d. And the kills weren\u2019t terribly creative with the murderer merely utilizing a cane as their weapon.<\/p>\n

The House on Sorority Row<\/em><\/strong> was written and directed by Mark Rosman, a filmmaker with an intriguing, if not limited filmography. While he would direct a couple more horror and sci-fi flicks (Evolver<\/em>, The Intruder<\/em>), he would also go on to helm… A Cinderella Story<\/em> and The Perfect Man<\/em> (both starring Hilary Duff).<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
