Six beautiful high school girls are involved in initiation ceremonies for their exclusive society,The Sisters.A shot from a presumably harmless pistol-part of the ritual-kills Elizabeth.Seven years later each of the remaining Sisters receive identical letters inviting them to a reunion in isolated estate mansion.With nightfall the reign of terror and madness begins as Elizabeth's death is revenged."Sisters of Death" is a pretty good low-budget horror.It's rather tame,but there is enough suspense and surprises to satisfy horror fans.The acting is surprisingly decent and the ladies are quite beautiful.Give it a look,if you're a fan of low-budget American horror.5 out of 10.

Seven years have passed since a sorority sister was killed as a result of a Russian-roulette-type initiation, which was ruled an accident. Then, five members get anonymous invitations to a reunion at a place to which the girls are taken from a central meeting spot by two guys. Although the duo has been paid only to transport the quintet, the pair is with the girls when the fence around the estate closes, locks and electrifies. They learn that their captor is the father of the initiation victim, and the remainder of the movie shows how most of them get knocked off - with a minimum of gore. Although much of the film (especially the first half) is slow-moving, I wasn't discontent at having spent the time to view it. In fact, I watched it a second time, thinking that maybe I missed something as far as the ending was concerned. Did somebody believe that THAT was gonna provide the most compact conclusion? I came away questioning it's logic.

"Sisters of Death" has a fairly simple plot. Five women and two men are stuck on the property of a crazed father intent on revenge for his daughters death seven years earlier by a sorority initiation gone wrong. It's not a bad movie but it's a bit too plain and simple. There is no imagination used in the way the houseguests are killed. For those looking for blood and guts, there is none. There are hints of possible nude scenes but that never develops. Just teasers for those looking for nudity. Pretty tame stuff. I don't see any problem with kids watching this. There is no gore or nudity in this film. It is a bit sad to see the young female stereotype. The girls play the old helpless and stupid role a bit too much for me. Although they know they are in danger they go around doing the dumbest things. It's as though they want to get killed. Gee, what can I do next to put me in danger? "Sisters of Death" is an OK low budget drama with a touch of mystery and a little twist for the end. Something to watch when there isn't anything better to do. It's nothing special or anything to go out of your way to view but not a total waste either.

Five women, who were once members of a secret sorority, are invited to a lavish ranch in a remote area north of Los Angeles. It seems like a celebratory reunion until things turn deadly. What's going on and who's responsible?

"Sisters of Death" was shot in 1972, but not released until 1976-77. It starts off as an occult-oriented flick involving beautiful women, but morphs into a sorta Ten Little Indians situation with elements that would influence the forthcoming slasher craze, just don't expect a lot of gore.

The highlight is the five women, played by Claudia Jennings (Judy), Sherry Boucher (Diana), Roxanne Albee (Penny), Sherry Alberoni (Francie) and Cheri Howell (Sylvia). You would think that Claudia Jennings would win out on the beauty front, but actually Sherry Boucher and Roxanne Albee surpass her (Boucher is, interestingly, a Jennings lookalike). Elizabeth Bergen is also on hand as Elizabeth in a small role.

While there's no Starsky and Hutch, as amusingly suggested, the two guys sure are reminiscent of them (that particular TV series wouldn't debut until a few years after this flick was shot). It's somewhat similar to "The Beast Must Die" (1974), just without the werewolf angle. Like that movie, not enough focus is put on fleshing out the characters, which makes them uninteresting and this isn't helped by the one-dimensional location.

The entire mid-section of the flick is relatively dull, but things perk up in the end with a twist or two.

The movie runs 1 hour, 27 minutes, and was shot in Paso Robles, California, which is about 200 miles north of Los Angeles.

GRADE: C.

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.

I can't say much more than other reviewers. A group of particularly dumb people hook up at rich man's house, and do dumb things and get themselves killed. The fact of the matter is, they had all the tools at their command to disable that electric fence (or short circuit it). The bad guy hangs out in his room and leaves them alone most of the time. They can come and go, plot, talk, do whatever, but no one comes up with a decent idea to get them out. Then there are a series of ridiculous plot twists that leave us guessing (guessing why we ever watched this in the first place). The girls are all attractive and run around in swim suits, but that is really damning with faint praise. Why is it when people start getting killed, the characters do things like take showers, away from the rest of the group. Or go nosing around "by themselves." There is truly strength in numbers. These people never figured that out.

In the same vein as Ten Little Indians, Sister's of Death does the 'invitation' thing some years before Paul Lynch's Prom Night and even before Class Reunion Massacre from 1976.

Sorority girls are holding their initiation for two inductees that involves a pistol/murder in which one of the 'Sisters' would load the gun, place it to the inductee's head and pull the trigger. Of course, the blank bullet is just supposed to make a loud noise and that's it. But, in this case, it splatters the girls brains and the rest is history.

Anyway, it's a few years down the road and the ex-sorority girls receive and invitation and five hundred bucks to attends a 'Sister's' reunion. They are supposed to meet in a designated spot where two guys with a beat-up station wagon (with sheets over the windows) are to pick them up and take the them to their destination, where they themselves are to make a couple hundred bucks.

After all the girls finally make it, the two guys drive the girls to their location. one of the guys talks his friend into staying and partying with the girls and soon learn they're stranded on the property. An electric fence keeps them on the premises while an unknown specter roams throughout the mansion spying and doing away with the girls one by one.

Sister's of Death is a film that does a lot of cliché' things before it was cool to do so. The acting is surprisingly good for a drive-in caliber flick. There's copious amounts of cheese that accompanies the actions and dialog of our characters, and a twist ending that I never saw coming. Just who is it that is taking the girls out one by one? Just whose revenge mode is set on high and what lengths will they go through to extend their murderous rage? Watch and see.

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.

This movie plays like a parody. The girls are brainless, and constantly make stupid choices (hmm? strange mansion? free bathing suits? let's go swimming!), and the ending, as other reviewers have mentioned, is baffling. The two thugs who corral the women here have mixed motives...are they thugs? good guys? perverts? The movie doesn't bother to tell us. In fact, it leaves out most of the things (e.g., character backgrounds and motivations...in fact just characterisation in general is lacking in this movie) that might make its story logical.

In short, this is the kind of movie that sits on your head and squeezes it while you yell, "why! why! why!" Only watch with friends and only if you intend to do a "Mystery Science..." type riffing session during it.

Years after a pledge is accidentally killed in an initiation ceremony, the unrepentant and generally unsympathetic sorority sisters are called to a reunion at a remote house where they find themselves locked in by an electric fence and stalked by a killer. The identity and motive of the killer is pretty predictable, but there's still some unexpected surprises regarding his possible accomplice. This movie generally has a bad reputation, but I kind of liked it. The revenge-for-a-fraternity/sorority-prank-gone-wrong is a hoary old cliché in horror movies nowadays but it was pretty original back in 1972 when this movie was made. Similarly the fake class reunion plot was used in many other horror movies in subsequent years, some better ("The Redeemer"), some worse ("Slaughter High"). And it was even parodied at least once (in "National Lampoon's Class Reunion").

The movie also features an early starring role for drive-in queen Claudia Jennings. Jennings is less experienced (albeit also less drug-addled) than she would be in her later roles, and some will no doubt be disappointed that she doesn't take her clothes off. As a general rule it is a bad idea to cast a Playboy Playmate in a lead role and not have her undress (witness "Barb-wire" with Pamela Anderson or ANY movie with Jenny McCarthy). But while Jennings may have been well above average relative to other Playmates when it came to her naked charms, she was in a class by herself when it came to acting talent (with Shannon Tweed maybe a very distant second). She was probably the only Playmate in history who could have made it as a successful actress WITHOUT having been a Playmate. She's definitely the best thing in this movie as she is the ONLY remotely sympathetic potential victim.

The one thing I didn't like about this movie was that it was more in the style of an action movie than a horror movie (it takes place almost entirely in daylight, for instance). It kind of reminded of those stupid female action movies they make today for emasculated fanboys where 105 lb. fashion models go around wielding guns and beating everybody up. But this was the 1970's when feminism was still pretty feminine, and Jennings was one of the few actresses who was always believable in these scrappy roles. Sure this movie could have used some full-frontal nudity, but it's still pretty decent.

A handful of years before "Halloween", "Friday the 13th" and other movies that claim to have started the slasher-genre, there was "Sister of Death"… More than a decade before sorority-themed slashers like "House on Sorority Row" etc, there was… "Sisters of Death"! This movie was even shot (not released, though) before "Black Christmas", and that classic horror film is more or less regarded to as the granddaddy of ALL crazy murderers on the loose flicks! Then why doesn't this movie enjoy the status of a genre milestone? Well, quite simply because it's crappy! Immensely entertaining…but nevertheless crappy! Seven years after that dreadful, life-ruining evening where a group of sorority babes accidentally killed their newest member (guns aren't toys, ladies!), the five remaining members all receive invitations to a reunion. They all go, even though it's unclear who invited them, and end up in an isolated mansion in the middle of nowhere. It doesn't take long before they meet their killer, who turns out to be the revengeful father of the murdered girl. Simple, straightforward plot and five incredibly sexy female leads! How on earth could this go wrong? Well, due to some really poor plotting, a total lack of continuity and weak directing, Joseph Mazzuca still somehow managed to mess it all up! This is the type of movie in which dumb characters do incredibly stupid things for absolutely no reason, so they pretty much all deserve to die. There are occasional flashes of sheer tension, but even more imbecility and lameness. And, like another reviewer already pointed out, there's should at least have been some nudity. What's the point of casting nothing but gorgeous sorority coeds if they're not taking their tops off? Stay clear, unless you're a fan of low-budget and forgotten 70's trash.

After an extremely bizarro pretitle initiation scene where a sorority pledge is murdered, "Sisters of Death" becomes a rather dull affair. The film has the look and feel of a made-for-TV production--its titillation is a tease at best, and the violence is almost remarkably subdued. Seven years after the pledge's murder, the five remaining sisters are invited to a reunion at an isolated mansion, presided over by an unknown host; two male escorts hang around as the girls get picked off, one by one. While "Sisters" isn't necessarily boring, its restraint and overall lack of innovation doesn't make for exciting viewing. There is some character development, and the film comes to ludicrous, multiple-twist finale, but by then it's too late. Still, it merits a "2" based solely on the gorgeous female cast, all of whom look fine in bikinis and/or negligee.

Starts off with a college initiation ceremony in a group called "The Sisters" where a girl is accidentally killed. Then the film cuts to seven years later where the remaining five sisters are called to a reunion in a house in the middle of the desert. They find out too late that the house has the dead girls father (Arthur Franz) and he is determined to punish them for his daughters death.

Only made to cash in on Claudia Jennings inexplicable popularity in the 1970s. She was a very beautiful woman but no actress. The plot is by the numbers and is boring, stupid, full of gaps in logic and seriously silly dialogue. If you're watching this for nudity or gore--forget it. The film is rated PG--there's no nudity (although they come close once) and there's no gore. The killings are a little bloody but that's about it. This is also one of those movies where the characters act like a bunch of idiots--they know they're trapped in a house with a maniac yet the split up in separate rooms and one decides to take a shower! This was held back from release for seven years--it's easy to see why. Dull, dreary and stupid. Avoid.

"During a sorority initiation ceremony, something horrible goes wrong and one of the new members is accidentally killed. Seven years later, the remaining sorority sisters receive invitations to attend a reunion at an isolated mountain estate. Unbeknownst to any of the women, the resort is owned by the father of the deceased sorority member, and he is looking for revenge," according to the DVD sleeve's synopsis. Very poor, but not a complete waste. There are a couple of cute scenes, early in the picture. The women, including 1970 Playboy "Playmate of the Year" Claudia Jennings (as Judy), are pointedly beautiful. Ms. Jennings was much more entertaining in "The Great Texas Dynamite Chase" (1976). This horror film is not frightening, and you won't see much more, or sexier, than you would in a TV episode of "Charlie's Angels".

** Sisters of Death (8/77) Joseph Mazzuca ~ Claudia Jennings, Paul Carr, Arthur Franz

This movie was entertaining to watch and what surprised me that it was rated PG because as it had some intense violence plus there was very little nudity which was unusual in movies of this type. The script could have been better written but it did have some good comedic and suspenseful scenes in it. The actors did a decent job plus the cinematography was good but in the DVD that I watched it had faded color and imperfections in some scenes.

An initiation task for a pair of pledges as part of a ceremony inducting them into a college sorority goes horribly wrong when a live round finds itself into a gun in a game of Russian Roulette, resulting in the death of a pledge. Years later, the surviving sisters are adults & lead various lives. They are contacted out of the blue for a reunion party in Mexico. But upon arriving at the secluded mansion for the party, they find the place belongs to the dead pledge's father, who is determined to find the person responsible for his daughter's death despite the police ruling it an accident. The sisters & a pair of male gatecrashers find themselves trapped inside the property by electric fence, slowly picked off one by one by the secret killer in their midst.

God bless the dirt-cheap budget DVD labels – how else can you find minor gems like Sisters of Death a good 39 years after its release? I initially thought that the film was going to be a borefest or a cheap telepic drama but once the film started, I saw that Sisters of Death was capable of much more than that.

Sisters of Death is a thriller that may have been made years before the slasher film became a fixture of the genre, but it does have certain elements that would make it a slasher film prototype (HALLOWEEN came out two years later). The plot reads like a slasher film in some regards, although the killer doesn't use knives but various methods to kill their victims & the killer's identity doesn't become clear until the very end, which when seen is an effective surprise. The actors do a good job of carrying the film along, which was a hallmark of the genre at the time – 1970s genre films were a bit talky but made a considerable effort to compose solid stories into their being. The setup is solid & the story is interesting, although it does veer into daytime telepic territory at times. Not a classic by any margin but it does have an interesting story & the twists are pretty novel.

Not very many people know of this 1972 movie we define as a Suspense Movie. If you consider Suspense Movies among your favorites, you'll include this classic among your favorite movies depicting "Who Did It." Certainly after they completed filming Sisters of Death they knew a classic film was created by them. However, placing the completed film on rack was instructed and after 5 years permission to allow the public an opportunity to view was approved. You may identify with a motivation for correcting a wrong or be more sympathetic towards the opposite. Sisters of Death is a Public Domain film. You can download it for free online. No bad acting at all and also no foul language and no nudity. That is not necessary if a movie has classic all over it. Sisters of Death is a classic Suspense Movie. How it was placed on a rack to collect dust and become a Public Domain Movie is awkward. You won't be disappointed with Sisters of Death. Movies of that quality are very difficult to conjure up. Some become almost unknown. And this movie is not a 'B' movie!

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.

This PG-rated see-how-they-die thriller reunites five sorority sisters seven years after the death of a fellow pledge during a hazing ritual gone terribly wrong. Responding to anonymous invitations to gather at an isolated desert villa, the girls soon learn the day of judgement is at hand - and begin to die one by one.

Made in 1972, but not released until 1978, SISTERS OF DEATH is a passable time killer, but lacks interesting characterizations, thrilling setpieces or the trademark extremes that made drive-in going such a singular thrill. With a film like Bava's BAY OF BLOOD pulling out all the stops, SISTERS OF DEATH is just too tame. Still, the cast is game; check out Claudia Jennings (former Playboy Playmate of the Year), Arthur Franz (MONSTER ON CAMPUS) and Joe Tata (the wistful frycook on TV's "Beverly Hills 90210).
