The House On Sorority Row

Seven senior sorority sisters are soon sorry when they plan to play a pitiful prank on their house mother! Their cranky matron gets even crankier when the girls decide to hold their graduation party at the Sorority House although they know that the house mother has closed it for the summer. She catches one of the girls in bed, which raises her crankiness level to the boiling point. When the girls' revenge goes deadly wrong, however, the girls find they suddenly have more to worry about than boys and grades.

    Rated - 3 stars

    Slightly above average

    As a slasher freak, I didn't find this film scary. A certain amount of suspense is nevertheless built up that elevates this film slightly above others of its genre.

    Pleasingly, all of the standard elements are present: secluded sorority house, nude co-eds, and the one bookish prude who serves as heroine. Gore, however, is somewhat mild in this film, and not very well done.

    Yet there is some suspense. The ending, in particular, is well done. The usual 'twist' notwithstanding, I found it somewhat unsettling. The hallucination device is used to good effect.

    Otherwise, it's fairly average. The effects are slightly below par on this one, but the competent acting makes up for this - particularly the creepy house mother.

    The DVD transfer itself is fairly poor. The audio/visual synchronisation is off by a couple of seconds. But hey, who watches these movies for dialogue?
