Horror caníbal: la nueva generación

After his debut with the mediocre albeit original "Bleed", director Devin Hamilton makes a different move in "Delta Delta Die!"; a campy hybrid between Nudie Cuties and the modern style of horror. Like a light version of Joe D'Amato's sleaze classics, "Delta Delta Die!" delivers a fair share of good Sexploitation; however, and unlike D'Amato masterpieces, the tone set here is more of mindless fun as the movie has a lot of comedy (both intentional and unintentional).

The movie starts with a sale by the girls of the Delta Delta Pi sorority house. Apparently, their food is so good and they are the richest and most popular sorority house on campus. However, we soon discover that the main ingredient of their success, is that the food they make is done with human flesh. Julie Strain is Marilyn Fitch, the sexy leader of this house where girls learn to lure and cook nearby boys. Joseph Dain is Tobias, a nerdy student who is decided to stop this bloody business but is not aware that the Delta Delta girls hide a secret that has kept them safe for 20 years.

Julie Strain never has been this good, and it seems that she was truly enjoying the making of this movie. Her character is like a sexed up evil clone of Gilmore Girls' Lorelai, with witty one-liners and a bad attitude. She plays the role of evil mastermind with joy and her over-the-top performance fits the movie perfectly.

Brinke Stevens is also good in her role as a former member of the sorority who comes to help young Tobias, but it seems that her character was not as developed as the rest. However, her presence in the film, as well as Strain's, feels like passing the torch to a new generation of Scream Queens, as the Delta Delta girls are lead by Tiffany Shepis, who is one of the best (and sexiest) actress in b-movies these days.

In fact, Shepis owns the screen not only with her beauty, but also with her talent, and it seems that she can make a believable character no matter how cheesy or campy the script is. Richar Myers and Lizzie Strain complete the team, and there is also good performances by Katie Adams and Julia Marchese as the young versions of Julie Strain and Brinke Stevens respectively. The whole film is like a feast of B-Movie Queens, obviously, lots of nudity included.

While the movie is definitely cheap in the production values, it feels like a serious improvement over the at times dull "Bleed". Devin Hamilton just goes for the fun and keeps the trashy feeling this sexploitational comedy delivers. It's good to see a movie that doesn't takes itself too seriously (one of the main problems in most B-movies) and even makes fun of itself.

Of course this movie is not a serious horror, and of course this is nothing more than a cheap Nudie Cutie; however, "Delta Delta Die!" never tries to be more than that and it succeeds delivering campy mindless entertainment in better ways than most big budget comedies out there. I would just die for a Delta Delta Pie! 6/10

In DELTA DELTA DIE!, guys are disappearing on campus at an alarming rate, and winding up in the clutches of some true man-eaters.

The irrepressible Julie Strain plays Marilyn Fitch, the dominating house mother of the Delta Delta Pi sorority house. This is one of Ms. Strain's most astounding roles, as she's allowed to truly unleash her dark side. Her 6'1" frame adds to her character's unholy majesty.

Loaded with violence, gore, gratuitous nudity, humor, BDSM, and cannibalism, this movie provides everything a growing body needs.

Aside from being a showcase for the aforementioned Amazon Goddess, it also stars Tiffany Shepis and Julie's sister Lizzy as anthropophagic coeds!

For lovers of the absurdly ghoulish and gruesome...

If you indescriminatly like nudity then you'll love this movie. But if you don't really want to see nasty old boobs, then perhaps this movie isn't for you. Of course I rented this film based on part the lovely and talented Tiffany Shepis was in it, and she doesn't disappoint.

If you like bad horror movies with really bad acting and sets, and utterly terrible cinematography then this movie is for you. Despite that this is not the worst horror movie out there. There is some nice nudity sure, but wow does this movie get weird. Sorority cannibals led by a weird house mother, need I say more? Well apparently I do in order to have ten full lines for a review, there hopefully that is enough.

Ok, as many people know (especially my site visitors) I LOVE bad horror movies. Especially when they are just gory, boob filled orgies of sex and meaningless violence. I cannot help it. it is born in me. Don't get me wrong...I LOVE good films too! I can appreciate fine horror art. but sometimes a crappy, laugh filled, booby showing, blood spraying, no plot having film can be fun to pass the time. And Delta Delta Die is no exception. This films is what bad horror is all about. Boobs, fins looking women in little nighties, blood, gore, sick plot, etc. it IS entertaining, and it is a fun flick.

BUT...here is the catch: Brinke Stevens. The time has come to let it go. Brinke was NEVER THAT hot to begin with, and time after time, I see films which exploit her body left and right. One in particular was Demon Lust (which also starred a rather chunky Tom Savini as a yo-yo loving mob thug). I mean, sure, full frontal nudity is lovely, but when the woman is an aging, flat-chested, not that hot to begin with actress, it is not needed. Everyone wants to see this woman naked on film. Everyone advertises her as the SCREAM QUEEN. Well, you are wrong! Linnea Quigley, Jamie Lee Curtis, Fay Ray, Syn DeVil, Debbie Rochon, etc...these girls are scream queens. Brinke, is not.

Now, do not misunderstand me here...I am not saying we do not owe Brinke alot for all the work she has done. B-grade horror would be at a loss without all of her roles, for sure. For that I am grateful. She has brought alot to the horror genre. However: I am seeing film after film using her in roles that are just pathetic. Using her past sexually based roles and a vehicle to exploit her name in new, NON-sexual roles is just a film-maker bait and switch technique to get us to buy the dvd's.

Brinke, I love ya...But please, pick some roles that do not rely on your name alone to sell the film. Pick a role that lets you act as I know you can. I have all your films. I know you can act. You do not need to f**k every guy in the film and run naked through the woods for 9 0minutes to sell a film. And for god's sake pick a role with decent dialogue! Where do these writer's learn their technique??!!! JEEZ!

So is Delta Delta Die a good film? Well, sure, if you are not looking for the next Halloween, or Friday the 13th franchise. It goes along with other sorority house films such as Slumber Party Massacre and House On Sorority Row. Watch it, and you will be entertained. And...um...."stimulated".

I liked the film. I just had to rant about this whole Brinke Stevens thing. I hate seeing unused talent.

One last thing: Tiffany Shepis...OMFG! What a babe!

Well, past experience has taught me not to go into modern day gore films with high expectations; but this tale of sorority girls and cannibalism really hits the spot, and is by far and away one of the best modern examples of this sort of trash that I've seen! One reason why these modern efforts often fail is because they simply can't capture that great fetid atmosphere that classic directors such as Jess Franco and Joe D'Amato did so effortlessly. This one doesn't succeed in capturing that feel either; but the direct to video low budget style is an adequate replacement, and the music used, as well as the beautiful naked women that frequent the movie more than make up for it. The plot focuses on the Delta Delta Pi sorority house. It comes under scrutiny from a certain student after he notices that several men have entered the house and not come back out. There's a reason for this as well; as the beautiful girls of the house are in business, producing pies; and the meat that goes in the pies is the same meat on the bones of the men they invite into the house!

I do have to say that despite my high rating and enthusiasm for this film; it really isn't good. The technical elements of the movie are a joke, with the actors seeming like they were picked up off the street based on their looks and the plot being pure hokum - but it's great FUN, and that's what makes it good. As you might expect, the movie has a fair amount of porn in it; but unfortunately it's only really soft, and despite some scenes that see people being tortured naked etc, there's not any actual sex in the movie. It doesn't really matter, however, as director Devin Hamilton is able to keep things moving through a constant stream of hilarious and irreverent occurrences. A film like this really needs a sense of humour, and Delta Delta Die certainly has one as hardly anything is taken seriously, and the way that the sorority girls talk about their macabre business usually provides some amusement. Overall, it's clear that this film will do nothing for people who like their films to be high on artistic value; but as direct to video modern trash flicks go, this is a very good one and comes highly recommended!
