Delta Delta Die!

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.

These Shadow Entertainment films are definitely good for one thing...

... your own "Mystery Science Theatre 3000" party.

The story revolves around the "most prestigious" sorority on campus -- Delta Delta Pi. The "Pi Girls" have a secret, though: they systemically murder scores of hunky muscle-studs and bake them into pies! Since the pies sell better than any high-school candy sale ever could -- and are oh-so-low in carbs (this is SoCal) -- why not do it?

Unfortunately, a meddlesome student named Tobias is on to the Pi Girls! But why oh why won't his University dean (there's only one) not take his claims seriously? And what has happened to his best friend? And why the hell is a 40-year-old woman still living in a sorority house? Tobias's meddlesome questions are posing a problem to the Pi Girls way of life, and he must be stopped.

This movie is BAD. And when I mean bad, it's like falling down in front of a bicycle, into a steaming pile of dog crap, while raining(!), and then you're struck by lightening and paralyzed for life.

It is that bad.

Take note of the "Dean's Office" -- aka, someone's parents' den in their SoCal home. I know my campus' administrative facilities have excessive interior windows, pink, wood-paneled walls, and a backyard lying outside. Priceless!

Of course, when I purchased this film, I didn't know that I was buying a soft-core porn. This isn't B-rate horror -- this is C-rate soft-core porn with some sadism thrown in. There is an obligatory strip poker scene, a "sexy lap dance!" that lasts at least 10 minutes too long, and you get to see some huge 40-year-old lady knockers at least 7 times.

But despite all of the bad: bad script, horrid acting, atrocious sets, lighting, and effects -- this movie is perfect for a dorm-room party. Your friends will die laughing at lines like "THE PENIS IS FILLED WITH GERMS AND SPERM!" and "HUHN-UHN!!! NO YOU DIDN'T!!!" and the crazy amounts of forced sexuality. It's a movie to knock, not to enjoy.

Oh, and the DVD is loaded with a slew of hilarious extras, although they are sometimes raunchy, disgusting, and -- even somewhat depressing. I'm a gay man, and I really didn't need to see 40 year old Julie Strain run around for 15 minutes with all sorts of (really bad) dungeon paraphernalia only to see her put the handle of a potato masher...

... well, we'll stop there. You can also see extended cuts of all of the "murder/seduction" scenes with Julie Strain, and they are disturbing. I didn't know if these hunky muscled twenty-somethings were really excited about Strain's dirty talk, but I think they were. My friends and I were in stitches.

And then there's a 20 minute video with Strain and one of the Pi girls at their (real) home which only made me feel more trashy than usual. It made my life seem like an A+ endeavor by comparison.

Bottom line: hilarious movie, hilarious extras, albeit there is sick, middle-aged-on-young sexuality, pointless and fake "gore," and acting that came straight out of a high school drama class.

Check out "Birth Rite" if you want more bad acting/plot/gore, less sexuality.

I bought this film in Blockbusters for a pound thinking "This looks awful, I bet it will be really funny!" How wrong I was.

If you want to watch a B movie with tits and arse watch 'Showgirls,' Delta Detla Die has the thinest of plots with weak acting from all but a few great actresses who must have been down on their luck when they agreed to do this film.

The script is weak and at best there are one or two witty lines of dialogue. The idea that a sorority who eats the flesh of men was pretty good, unfortunately it lacks commitment on the script. Would have been better with maybe a slightly larger budget, some different casting and a script reworking.

Thankfully the movie doesn't take itself too seriously or it would have been far worse.

THIS MOVIE IS AWESOME. b-movie goddesses julie strain and brinke stevens together for the first time ever. seeing these two was better than seeing deniro and pacino meet up in michael mann's HEAT years ago! is the plot good? you bet. it's about a sorority of cannibal girls! now if that's not a b-movie i don't know what is. i liked the script, the acting, the humor, the visual style...everything. definitely one of the best indies i've seen in a while. and believe me i've seen a lot. devin hamilton's earlier film BLEED was great, but debbie rochon totally made that film for me. with DELTA DELTA DIE, you get the whole enchilada. fans of HOLLYWOOD CHAINSAW HOOKERS should definitely not miss this one. blood, nudity, great dialogue, and possibly julie strain's greatest role yet.

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!
