Sorority Row

This film is nothing original.

But then what teenage slasher film is. And for that reason only I give this film 7 out of 10. I feel giving a movie of this style a poor review is cutting it short for the credit it should get. It is well shot, the death sequences are well put together and inventive, there are the comical moments, characters you hate and can't wait to meet there makers and the who is the murderer guessing game.

Don't get me wrong the film is not special, it's no Oscar nominee and has so many plot holes it is swiss cheese but what you do get is a fun slasher flick that won't let you down as long as you don't expect too much from it.

Sorority Row, a 2009 horror-thriller directed by Stewart Hendler, follows a group of sorority sisters who become the target of a masked killer after covering up an accidental death. The film stars Briana Evigan, Rumer Willis, and Carrie Fisher, and while it boasts a cast with potential, the movie often falls into the clichés typical of the slasher genre. Despite its predictable plot and standard jump scares, Sorority Row delivers some effective suspense and a few memorable moments of tension. The film's commentary on sisterhood and guilt adds a layer of depth, but ultimately, it relies heavily on formulaic horror tropes. Fans of classic slasher films might find it a fun, if unremarkable, addition to the genre. But if you're simply looking for a fun cheesy horror, then perhaps this could be something you'd enjoy.

I'm sorry but I think that people were just way to hard on this movie at the time of release. It may not be the greatest slasher in film history but it's still an entertaining flick with an enjoyable cast.

This movie doesnt have the best avg ratings but for the genre it is really well done.

Acting: This is a slasher after all so they do well at portraying stereotypes and the conventions. You get a sense of feeling for them and enjoy their relations.

Cinematography/special affects: Really nice gory scenes and creative kills in this one. Camera shots are decent and you get a sense of tension which is really important for these types of movies.

Story: I really really enjoyed the plot of this. It was unique, interesting and kept me glued the whole time watching. Yeah some scenes arnt the best but most of them are awesome. Beginning, middle and end were conventional but unique and made to stand out among its rivals. Many people compare this with "scream" and "I know what you did last summer", both classics.

Summary: Very decent horror/slasher flick, high up there with the greats. It must be said that slasher films arnt for everyone. But if you like them than you'll most likely really enjoy this one.

So another horror remake? Shocker ... though not exactly literally. What it is though is beautiful. Especially if you do like women. There is not much acting necessary (which doesn't imply the people involved are not able to do so), just having to look good and scared. All of them are good in that regard.

I haven't seen the original (or I don't remember it?), but the premise is pretty simple. As another reviewer wrote, you could say, just another slasher. The effects/murders are pretty good, so you get your moneys worth from that. Thrills are decent enough, though you do know where it is heading and characters still "act" dumb/irrational, as they always do in those movies
