Better than the first!.......2007-05-07

This sequel to Sorority House Massacre has nothing to do with the first one. There is a flashback sequence, but they for some reason flash back to Slumber Party Massacre. All these massacre movies are pretty much the same, so I guess they got confused about which movie this was a sequel to. But it doesn't matter, because this movie sure is fun! It doesn't take itself as seriously as the first and that's a good thing. Sometimes it plays it straight, but sometimes it feels like it's starting to border on being a slasher spoof as opposed to a straight slasher film. There is plenty of violence and no less than six women show off their double d's, so fans of 80's slasher flicks should definitely enjoy this.

My Kind of Junk Food.......2007-03-19

This is one of my all time favorite "stupid slasher movies" ... and I'm not afraid to admit that it's quite simply because I like most of the women who were selected to run around partly and completely naked as the films story unfolds ... or was it ... falls apart. Cute, curvy girls bouncing around in weakly acted horror as their scantily clad bodies are put in evermore rediculous forms of peril ... how could I resist such a mindless offering? It's pure guilty pleasure ... and I've long since gotten over the guilt. :)

Those of us who occasionally (or regularly) watch this sort of drivel know it's not about quality cinema ... it's about managing our sexual and personal frustration by indulging in a bit of mindless and gratifying stupidity. It's about letting your "real world" standards go for a few hours and letting your inner monster come out to play for a while.

What often disappoints me about movies like this isn't their lack of writing, acting or cinematic quality ... I've come to expect these things. What I don't enjoy are mindless slasher movies with unattractive starlets, sparse nudity and little or no attempt at even lame horror. I mean ... if you're not even going to indulge our guilty pleasures ... what's the point. Well, this movie didn't disappoint ... slippery shower scenes ... bouncing babes with very curvy bodies ... plenty of mindless and stupid and highly unlikely horror ... it was JUST the ticket. Enjoy with a greasy cheese burger, cold pizza, cold fries and a soda ...

Except For Nudity it's Great!.......2006-08-14

There's way too much nudity but other than that it's great!

NOT TOO BAD.......2006-02-01

This is your movie if you're into the campy horror stuff,the girls are sexy and some of them started their "B-Girl" careers here in the SORORITY & SLUMBER PARTY SERIES,(like Gail Harris and Melissa Moore). SIMPLE PLOT:The girls run around naked and in their underwear, then get bumped off.But i don't know why this movie is listed as unrated, there is no "UNRATED" version to my knowledge or one that even says "Nighty Nightmare".if there is,i think both versions would have the same footage anyway.

[good things]
A very fun watch, full of big breasted females, sexual innuendos, boobs and blood. The story has more holes than Swiss cheese, but they are easily forgotten. The movie, other than the bimbos, actually has a good plot. They introduce Orville Ketchum, which serves as the most perfect Red Herring in (B) movie cinema history.

[the bad]
Other than the aforementioned plot holes, there is the bad acting. Very typical of this genre. The blood was actually pretty well done for this calibre of movie, but in a few shots, when blood was supposed to squirt you could actually see the person squirting it in the shadows. The back story was also very questionable, that will be explained later.

[final thoughts]
The movie busting out a whopping 80 minutes, and about 70 minutes minus the stolen footage of Slumber Party Massacre, which makes this movie easily watchable. The movie was unrelated to Sorority House Massacre, and used footage from Slumber Party Massacre, and a character (which had a different name in this movie) who eventually was summoned from the dead via a Parker Brothers Ouija board to possess, and lead the busty blonde to kill all of her friends. While Orville Ketchum was toying around, trying to warn the girls, they mistook him as the killer and put a beating that would even kill Jason Voorhees. That also made this movie very fun to watch. I really don't know how else to take this movie, we have everything we could want in a slasher, and we have a lot of it. Jim Wynorski did a great job directing this, and continues to be one of his 3 best ever. The whole Slumber Party/Sorority House/Cheerleader Massacre/Hard To Die movie franchise is very hard to follow, they all use from the other movies, but don't at all seem linked. You make up your mind.

Good DVD.......2003-11-04

I'm glad these 2 movies came on one DVD. It saves paying extra to get them separate.

Sorority House Massacre - It's kinda boring at first. The movie didn't really get me interested til the clothes changing scene. 3 chics continuously strip and dress up for a few minutes straight. The teepee scene was nice also. The girls might get a kick out of seein a [] naked guy running away from the crazed lunatic.

PYSCHO ON THE LOOSE........2007-04-23

This is one of the many low- budget slasher flicks I saw probably back in high school that i forgot about , but having seen it a few times I have included it in my collection of favorite slasher movies. I agree that originality is not what the makers of this film had in mind ,and the plot centers on a girl in her mid teens named Beth who went by the name Laura back in her childhood who is now living in a sorority house with several other females and having nightmares about a man who was her brother that murdered her family, and she was the only survivor who managed to escape in a small opening in the house where he tried to get to her , but than buried the knife in a fireplace before police finally came. Now, some 13-14 years later her brother is starting to sense her presence in the house and having spastic fits manages to assault a staff member in the mental institution and escapes to come for her. Throughout the movie there were some influences of both HALLOWEEN/ THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE , so I could understand the reviewers crying halloween ripoff while viewing this movie , but most slashers never really are original and this is worth adding to a collection of slashers.

I gave it three... but this movie could have been a five. .......2006-02-01

In the 80's slasher movies were it. However, women we're often portrayed as just sex objects, so the women's rights activitists had to put a stop to that. (That's something I could never figure out because in almost every 80's movie, the hero of the film was a woman). So a few women wrote some slasher movies with pretty obvious I am woman, hear me roar themes in them. The most obvious being slumber party massacre one, with the drill as a "symbol" for something else. However, I always found these movies to be pretty decent, and soroity house massacre is one of them.

The first thing I always look for in a horror movie is, is the movie well made, and is the acting believable? Where this movie faulters, is in the well made catergory. Some parts of it, the music is really hokey, the camera work is pretty poor and it seems like some of the times the director just didn't care about continuity. (there's a guy running naked, and then in the next scene he's in underware). It's just little things you notice that make the movie seem cheap. The acting is pretty good, no real complaints here.

The next thing I look for are the death sequences. Are they cool and do they make sense? I thought this is where this movie really kicked butt. I think the scene where she is in the dining room and the blood starts running down the walls was pretty neat. The death sequences were pretty cool, and there was some definate tension that you could feel which kept me looking behind me for most of the movie.

The last thing I look for is, does the ending wrap up the movie? In this case, it does. The ending is pretty intense and clears everything up for you. Many people compare this movie to Halloween, and there are some definite similarities here. The formula is the same, but for what horror movie aren't they the same?

This movie is a pretty good movie, that could have really been a great movie. It's a shame it is made so poorly in some parts, because it really detracts from the rest of the movie. That's why I gave it three stars, instead of five. It really had potential, and some parts really had me creeped out. However, I'd definitely recommend seeing the movie once, and it might be worth you buying it. It's kindof an embarrassing movie to buy though, because everyone thinks its an erotic film ;)

Actually...It's Not that Bad..Kind of Goofy...but Not Bad.......2006-01-24

If you are a fan of 80's horror, then you will like "Sorority House Massacre". Let's face it, if you are on the fence about buying a movie with Massacre in the title, and whose cover art features some babe in a skimpy nightie....great acting and solid plotlines aren't too high on your priority list. I actually enjoyed this movie. I thought the story was just different enough to be interesting, and a notch or two above most slasher flicks from the era. Sure, the plot may seem similar to "Halloween", but what 80's slasher didn't steal from Carpenter's classic? The cheezy special effects and lousy acting are exactly what I was expecting, so I wasn't disappointed in that aspect either. There are a couple tense scenes sprinkled here and there too, maybe nothing that will rob you of any sleep, but enough so that you won't turn off the movie. If I had any issue with "Sorority House" it was the excessive flashbacks/dream usage. At first they are a neat diversion, but they do get stale after awhile. Overall if you enjoy slashers you can do a lot worse than this one. And if you enjoy the "So-Bad-It's-Good" type horror you will get a few kicks out of this movie as well.

Who will survive the final exam? (no one, I'm hoping...).......2005-04-14

The 80's saw a whole lot of massacring in terms of young, comely co-eds in film as Roger Corman, with his New Concorde film group cashed in on the phenomena known as the slasher flick. Often times he's credited as a trendsetter, and that's partially true as he was the first to introduce the biker flicks of the late 60's with The Wild Angels (1966) and brought psychedelic imagery to the mainstream with The Trip (1967), but it seemed more often than not his features `rode the wave', copying better, previously released, popular films at a very low cost in an effort to make some easy dough off an currently established genre or motif. This was especially true, in my opinion, of his latter projects with Concorde. Is there anything wrong with that? Certainly not, but the results tended to be less than spectacular, as is the case with Sorority House Massacre (1987). Written and directed by Carol Frank, whose previous credits include being an assistant to the director of the film The Slumber Party Massacre (1982) - keep in mind I said assistant to the director, not assistant director -, Sorority House Massacre stars Angela O'Neill (Alien Nation), whose since found a career behind the scenes as a property master, Nicole Rio (who could forget her role in 1987's Terminal Exposure as `Hostage Girl'?), and a bunch of other people you've never heard of...

The film begins with some especially cheap looking titles, followed by a young woman, who we later come to know as Beth (O'Neill), approaching a sorority house. Seems she visiting some friends for the weekend, and they're planning a party of sorts. As Beth enters the house, she starts having strange images flash through her mind, which we'll see more of later. These scenes are intercut with scenes of a mental patient having a spastic attack in a local, state run facility for the deranged and unhinged. With a majority of the sorority members gone, this leaves four girls (I use the term `girls' loosely as they all appear to be in their mid-20's), including Beth, to go through the rich girls closet (she also left), and allow for the audience to see much boobery as they try one her clothes. Anyway, the mental guy escapes (partially due to the most lax security I've ever seen in a mental institution), and some guys show up at the sorority house, friends of the girls. Here's where we learn from one of the guys (of course he would know all about it, only for the fact that it's in the script) that the house has a past, one involving a series of murders before it became a sorority house. Beth keeps having strange visions of the house and past incidents, indicating she may have some involvement with these past events, and hypnosis (one of the girls is a psych major, of course, so she knows how to hypnotize people) reveals a bit more. Soon the escaped loony man shows up and initiates a `depopulation' program at the house, picking off those in attendance one by one...who will be left standing by the end of the film (you probably won't care much)? And what's the connection between the killer, the house, and Beth (if you can't figure it out in the first 20 minutes, you need to get out more)?

I didn't think this was going to be great, but then again I didn't think it was going to be as craptacular as it was...the dialog was rancid, the acting extremely poor (there's virtually no emotion towards the recent and continuing deaths of their friends), hardly any tension, and what has to be one of the most annoying music scores for a film I've heard in a long time. Nearly all the scares stemmed from the characters within the group walking up behind each other and scaring (oh, but not on purpose) the unsuspecting individual, although it was satisfying to see one guy, Craig, get kneed in the crotch by his girlfriend. And speaking of the character of Craig, I have to say he was a real winner...here his girlfriend is getting slaughtered by a killer and he just runs away. He didn't even lift a finger to help her, and he certainly could have...oh well, such acts of cowardice will not go unpunished. I think my favorite line of dialog was when Beth was talking about her dreams and she states, `I don't get it. Something really awful must be going on in my head!'...yeah, in your head, and in this movie...I think the thing that annoyed me the most about this film was it was just so predictable, and there seemed little effort to make it anything more than what it was...the killer's identity is revealed early on, along with the connections between him, the house, and Beth, so what's left? Nothing...it's like riding a roller coaster with the big thrill being at the very beginning, and then the rest of the ride being really tame (except this was more like one of those kiddie coasters that rides about two feet off the ground). I will say the best thing about the film, beside the various T & A shots (mostly T, but not a lot of A), was the fact it had a running time of about 1 hour and 13 minutes. I suppose picking at this film is like flogging a dead horse, but, as I mentioned earlier, if I thought any real effort to try and churn something relatively decent out had been made, I would have been less inclined to trash on it so...

The full screen picture on this DVD does look pretty good, even if the film itself stinks. Also, the 2 channel stereo audio is decent. There are a couple of extras including cast bios, an original trailer (which has Spanish subtitles for some reason), along with trailers for Seduction of Innocence (1996), Emmanuelle: First Contact (2000), and The Slumber Party Massacre (1982). This film was followed by Sorority House Massacre II (1990), which appear to have been done in a campier vein.

By the way, the killing scenes weren't very good, either...and if you want to know the body count, I figured it to be around 9 or so...

Halloween ripoff with terrible acting........2005-03-24

The movie "Sorority House Massacre" is a lousy "Halloween" ripoff with terrible acting. I do not fault this movie for trying to rip off "Halloween" as that is a great idea, but this movie was very poorly done and the movie fails to generate any sense of success and lacks credibility. In other words, "Sorority House Massacre" could have been a lot better, but this movie has the worst acting and directing I have ever seen in a slasher flick and that's saying a lot.

"Sorority House Massacre" is a complete failure of a horror movie because it is simply not scary and totally unconvincing in its attempt to evoke any horror in the audience. The acting is so bad that it's laughable and pathetic.

A college girl named Beth is haunted by visions of her past in nightmares about her brother (named Bobby) killing her entire family except for her of course. The significance of the sorority house is that it is where Beth's family was murdered and so there is this return to the scene of the crime theme throughout the movie.

The death scenes are rather poor and I was disapointed pretty much throughout the movie. All and all, this is not a good movie because the acting and directing were so terrible...a couple of frightful scenes in this movie from Beth's nightmares, but nothing that can save this movie from being dumped as a below average slasher flick.

The movie could have been a lot better if better actors were chosen for this flick. As it is, "Sorority House Massacre" stinks and deserves only ONE STAR.

For a good and successful "Halloween" ripoff/imitator type film, you should buy "He Knows You're Alone", which although a "Halloween" clone, is still very successful on its own merits and variations while utilizing the original slasher masterpiece "Halloween" as its basic blueprint.
