![]() ![]() It does have an unusual score that breaks up a lot of the tension but I thoroughly enjoy it and I’m glad it found a new home in the MVD Rewind Collection. Overall, The House on Sorority Hill may be underrated in some aspects but it is a well rounded slasher. The kills are not that iconic but they do fit that classic slasher mold. We get some cheesy performances from the cast mixed with effective practical effects and plenty of blood. It’s fun but it doesn’t have that iconic killer that many of the others gave viewers.įinally, this one has some pretty fun kills. It’s a slasher on the outside but plays a little like a pulp murder mystery. It almost, in the most faintest of styles, feels like a giallo. I love these type of slashers and the only thing that makes this one stand out was the lack of a masked maniac. This was the early years of the slasher when they left the woods and landed on college campuses. We have someone that was wronged and we follow people in the way or associated with as they are slaughtered. The story for this one is the standard slasher formula set against a college backdrop. Sometimes they are a little humorous but overall I enjoyed the characters and their death scenes. A lot of the scenes are really fun and it’s because of the cast that makes this one so enjoyable. The characters are very cliched and generic but the cast gives the role their all. We have the sexually promiscuous character, the character that is morally questioning the prank, the one that blends into the background and is just their for the bodycount, and the final girl. The characters are exactly the type of characters you would expect from the sorority based slashers. The acting in this one is surprisingly well done. It is especially fun if you pair it was other slashers from the same time. It’s not the most compelling slasher that I’ve ever seen but it was enjoyable in it’s generic story and kills. It was an enjoyable experience revisiting this one. They try to go on with their lives but one by one they begin to be picked off by an unknown killer leaving the survivors to search for the real killer. They suspect she is dead and leave her in a pool until they dispose of body. The prank goes sideway and they accidentally shoot her. **Spoiler Alert** The film follows a group of sorority sisters who play a horrible prank on the den mother with a gun. I quickly hit them up for a review copy which they were kind enough to send over. When MVD announced the film as part of their MVD Rewind Collection I was all about it. ![]() ![]() I remember enjoying it for the most part but didn’t remember a lot about it. Many years ago I snagged the 1982 slasher The House on Sorority Row on DVD and watched it with a few other early 80s slashers. I absolutely loved nothing more than snagging slashers I had never seen before and marathoning them all night. When I started collecting movies I wanted to snag as many zombie flicks as I could but it quickly spiraled into slashers. ![]()
