Description

Eight beautiful, sexy sorority girls attempt to brave the night in an abandoned haunted whorehouse. Unbeknown to them, their boyfriends have rigged the house to scare the ladies witless. However, the old house seems to have a mind of its own. Our heroines face a triple-threat; the increasingly more dangerous practical jokes, a psychotic murderer and the brothel itself!

Classic Eighties Slasher Schlock.......2007-05-07

In the 1980's there was a whole string of slasher flicks that had numerous nubile girls being systematically slaughtered. It is almost a genre un to itself. In that vein this is pretty much the bar.
The plot, for lack of a better name, is that some sorority pledges must spend the night in a haunted house. Several boyfriends have rigged up a few tricks to add to their fright. The house is actually haunted, something never porperly exploited and of course the local head case is going to drop by and add to the body count.
The problems with this are that the girls look a little old for 19. Then again when things go south they're not too bright so I guess they might have been kept back, AND they aren't that cute. Then again maybe that makes them more real. Hair and make up are agressively '80's style-ah the good old days- and not all the deaths are particularly notable. One agressive girl in this pre-Buffy bunch could probably have taken down the nut job and saved the day.

Forgettable, low-budget 80s horror from Roberta Findlay.......2005-12-28

A lot of directors would qualify as sleaze-meisters, but I only know of one who can actually claim the ignominious honor of being dumped from the adult movie industry. Roberta Findlay's directing resume includes 60s exploitation movies (including the Flesh trilogy), 70s hardcore porn, and a string of low-budget 80s horror movies. Blood Sisters is one of the later films of her career, a cheap slasher that has potential but just doesn't deliver. Coeds, nudity, a haunted bordello - sounds like a slam dunk, doesn't it? Unfortunately, the gals aren't that attractive, there's hardly enough nudity to be titillating, the story moves at a glacial pace, the frights are nonexistent, and the whole thing basically falls flat from the beginning.

Here's the backdrop. As their final initiation test, seven sorority pledges are forced to spend the night in a haunted house - a haunted house of ill repute, to be exact. We know at least two people were murdered there thanks to the opening scene, but supposedly the place is full of ghosts. It's also full of a bunch of rigged scares put together by some fraternity boys. Once the girls arrive, they have to go on a scavenger hunt of sorts all over the dark, spooky house. This goes on for quite awhile, making you wonder if any of these girls are going to die here after all. Finally, though, with little time to spare, our murderer shows up and starts taking the girls out one by one.

Despite the name of the film, there is hardly any blood to speak of. That's not a good thing. Then there's the sometimes horrible over- and under-acting of the unknown cast members, some silly plot points toward the end, the failure to create even the most tepid of suspenseful moods, and a rather predictable ending. All of these combine to make Blood Sisters a fairly disappointing waste of a decent story idea. The dialogue, though, is good for a few chuckles.

"You don't have a father, you know what that's called?...PERVERT!!".......2005-08-23

The previous review explains the story so I won't reiterate. I just bought this mainly because of Joe Bob Briggs' commentary and the fact I've been trying to see this for a number of years. It would have been nice to hear Roberta's commentary but for some reason she didn't do it (I assume she didn't even remember directing it); instead we have an interview with her and Elizabeth Rose which I thought should have been longer.

Most of the film takes place in the house, it would have been nice to see the killer lurking in the backyard, the woods, etc. Gore is non existent; some blood splatter is all we see. I assume the problem was the miniscule budget.

The girls here all have bright red lipstick and fingernail polish which I found unappealing and rather outdated looking; it seems as if Roberta is used to making a film having a 1970s look. It certainly doesn't help. As well, the picture appears really grainy during the dark spots. It looks suitably low budget; Roberta admits she was obsessed with the way it looked rather than the "story", in which the killer has no motive.

Definitely one of the lesser slashers of the 1980s. In the interview it is revealed the "inspiration" behind it was because money was made on the last picture, and she had to "hurry up" to make another film or the government would take most of it (the money).

Also features trailers for Hell High (quite a good slasher), Duck! The Carbine High Massacre, and a couple others.

If you're in the mood for sorority/campus slashers I would recommend The Intiation (1984), Sorority House Massacre, or Final Exam. This is for completists only, the average horror fan will likely want to pass on it.

Obscure 80's Slaher Trash.......2005-07-31

Sleaze maven Roberta Findlay detoured into horror during the 80's, directing a handful of lacklustre efforts including "The Oracle", "Tenement", "Prime Evil" and "Lurkers". "Blood Sisters" isn't her worst, but that's no recommendation. Findlay's genre work ranges in quality from barely competent right through to dismal and mostly seems to lack any real sense of enthusiasm on her part. Unfortunately, this tends to produce a similar lack of enthusiasm on the part of the audience.

"Blood Sisters" is a case in point. It's a threadbare production, full of anonymous acting "talent" and clichéd situations, which comprehensively fails to capture the atmosphere of any of the better 80's slasher flicks. The premise has potential - sorority girls attempting to stay the night in a haunted bordello as part of their initiation - but what could have been an entertainingly lurid horror film is actually a listless talkfest that's light on the usual cheap thrills slasher fans have come to expect. T&A and bloodshed are minimal and if you're looking for suspense try guessing how many minutes of the film you can sit through before falling asleep. The killer's motivation is vague and there's no real sense of menace - nothing much happens for long stretches, and when it does you don't really know why. You won't be afraid but you will be confused.

The disc contains a brief introduction and an entertaining feature length commentary track by Joe Bob Briggs containing some interesting background information about Findlay's career. There is also a 10-minute "Blood Sisters Reunion" featuring Findlay and actress Elizabeth Rose (goofy nerd sorority girl "Bonnie") being interviewed separately. (Does this actually qualify as a reunion?) Until recently, Findlay has been reticent to discuss her work (probably because of films like this), so fans might find this segment interesting. You'll also find trailers for four other Shriek Show releases. Seek them out, if you dare!

Overall, "Blood Sisters" is an underwhelming viewing experience. Horror and cult movie fans with an interest in Findlay may find this disc enlightening - others might best steer clear. For those seeking 80's sorority girl slasher movies that are actually good, try "The House on Sorority Row' and "The Initiation".

Yes, It could happen.......2004-11-02

After this movie ends, you may say, "Naw, this can't happen." But you will be stuck with the thought that it just might happen this way. The moral of the story for me was not to let peer pressure decide for you what your morals and emotions are. I don't think that they spent too much money making this movie, but it is interesting to watch. And don't turn it off until the very end!

Well almost at it's best. This is no Young Frankenstein but still s good way to waste a little time!

These "movies" sucked.......2005-03-11

And yes, pun more or less intended. I finally got a copy today, really against my better judgement, but it was cheap (at a store that shall remain nameless) and two discs so I hoped against hope that it'd be a decent deal. Man, was I wrong! If I knew it'd be this bad you couldn't have GIVEN it to me! I expected it to be low budget but jeez, they must've only used about $100 worth of videotape, instead of using film. The 1996 original was the worst in all respects but at least the sequel kinda had a couple of funny jokes. Still, it'd cut back and forth between being on videotape and digital tape, I guess it was. In both films the stripping was so boring that I'd fast forward through it, but at least the dancers were pretty decent looking for the most part. The acting in both films was atrocious, as were the stupidest, phoniest fight scenes ever, and who the hell was in charge of the sucky music? What was up with that? I know that their budget either didn't allow for using at least some popular music, or else they weren't given permission to, I guess, but the songs (which were all vampire-themed, of course) were just soooo bad, musically.

BTW, is it just me or did anyone else notice the similarity between the ex-priest actor and his chubby friend with long dark hair and full facial hair, Larry, and Kevin Smith and his goateed friend in "Clerks"? Coincidence? You be the judge.

Anyway, if you like fake breasts (though there were some real ones, too), atrocious acting, phony fight scene, gahdawful music and Z-budget films then by all means get this DVD set. It's right up your alley.

Great Vampire Flick.......2004-08-16

This movie has everything you could ask for in a vampire movie from a blood bath with a naked Amber Newman to a blood orgasm with Glori-Anne Gilbert. The strip club scenes had a feel of realism to them. None of that cheesy feeling the director had never been to a strip club and repeats 30 seconds of footage over and over. This two disk set also included a short film Portal:the movie that I found hilarious. One of my favorite parts in the extras is the homage to boobies. There sure were plenty of them to chose from in this movie.

Long Awaited Sequel.......2004-05-27

Finally, a sequel to the "Gone With The Wind of Vampire Stripper Movies"! This movie continues the story that began in "Vamps : Deadly Dreamgirls" which is included as a special bonus. You get to find out if a relationship between an ex-priest and a newly turned vampire stripper can work out. Glori-Anne Gilbert joins the cast as Heather (all grown up and now looking like a professional dancer). Paul Morris returns as Seamus. Guess what, Amber Newman's character who played Randi in the first movie, had a twin sister who is a vampire. Who is not at all pleased her sister is dead. Loaded with hot dancers and they even threw in a plot at no extra charge. Joe Bob Briggs gave 3 1/2 stars out of 4.

The Title Has Been Changed For This Edition.......2004-09-01

When looking at the extras on the disk, you might notice that the word "Lesbian" was not always part of the title. As you may have seen from other reviews, it's not really part of the movie either.

What we have is bad actor Justin Gorrace (from daytime TV) as The Monk, a mystical champion fighting against evil. He is hired to protect a woman who is not all she seems and becomes enslaved against his will. With the help of his secretary, he does eventually triumph over the evil that has ensnared him.

What really makes this one bad enough to be good is the main character. He is a master of mystic arts and has been fighting evil successfully for ten years. I don't know how he has survived because in this film there isn't anyone that can't beat him up in one way or another (and they do). He is so incompetent that I don't know how he gets out of bed without breaking his neck.

But still, this is a Troma film so there are scantily clad, and sometimes naked, women throughout. The only thing more prevalent is the bad acting. But it is put together in a way that is fun. But if you are looking for lesbian action, pick up a Girls Gone Wild DVD instead.

Dont Buy.......2004-07-05

This is the worst movie I've seen. There is just one short lesbian scene with kissing(...).

Booooooooooring.......2004-04-06

this DVD can be sumed in one word,snorrrrrrrrrrrrre.I had to force my eyes open just to make it through the first scene.And why call it blood sister of "LESBIAN" sin when there is no one lesbain scene except when sister anger kissed the other girl??? I forgot her name???? any way DON'T BUY THIS DVD.

I'm not even gonna bother reviewing this abysmal pile of wretched 5h!+. Instead, I'm gonna praise Paul B's review. Took the words right outta my mouth. Well done.

If only there was an R-rated Mystery Science Theater 3000.......2003-10-16

First, it was refreshing that the "good-guy" occultist's fiance did not perfectly match the "starvation chic" ideal. This film is not scary at all. I realize that this type of film is a thinly-disguised blue movie, but this barely qualified as horror.
Some of the "scary" parts and even some of the naughty bits were unintentionally funny in a MST3000 sort of way.

Blood, Gore and Kathleen St. Lawrence.......2002-06-15

Kathleen St. Lawrence saves this film from being a total bomb. She is a knock-out...the rest of the film does of a good job of knocking itself OUT! It starts with a wake-up call where boyfriend/girlfriend make love in the early morn...he is well groomed and clean-shaven...she's got immaculate make-up...DUH! It's real turn-off...she's fat and ugly, too. It ends with three chicks eating a guy alive out in the woods. Inbetween there's plenty of sim sex. I think Kathleen takes her top off 57 times...but the excitement ends there. Some of the best lines from the film are: "If I ever wake up from this dream, will you please push the snooze button?" HONEST! That is in the script. Near the end of the film, right before the guy gets gobbled up limb by limb, the fat chick from the opening scene asks her boyfriend, "Where are they?" He gives her a quick glance and says..."Where are we?" That sums it up. Push the snooze button and wake up from your nightmare! I must say, it's much better than Witchcraft X...I gave it a 1...this one a 2.

What Nonsense.......2000-12-02

This is without a doubt the worst movie I have ever seen. I unfortunately bought this movie in an attempt to find a good Horror flick. This film offers some of the worst acting ever, and an extremely poor plot. This movie should not receive any stars at all but unfortunately I have to give it at least one.
