Too much of everything

That was an excellent one.

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

If you like 80s fashion, then by all means, seek out this film. There's a great scene where the richest girl leaves the house and everyone tries on her clothes. It's a moment that gives the film some nudity for the producers, some horrible library music for those that love 80s schmaltz and plenty of sweet, sweet shoulderpads and pantsuits for those that like that sort of thing (Becca).I felt like there was a movie in here yearning to break free, to reject the urge to copy and become a strange American giallo of its own. It gets close, but if you have the same wish as me, prepare to be frustrated. My theory is that there are two budgets in life: money and time. You can get this movie relatively inexpensively, but you'd be better off watching any number of better constructed slashers.Read more at bandsaboutmovies.com/2017/07/08/sorority-house-massacre-1986

This is the kind of bad 80's slasher flick that I love. It hit every cliché in the book (killer locked in an asylum and breaks out to go after his sister that he tried to kill a long time ago.) It is very clearly a rip-off of Halloween, which is one of my all time favorite movies. Maybe that's why I liked this so much. The only thing that was a little repetitive was the dream sequences. As a young girl, Beth escaped her brother Bobby who killed her family. Now, years later she joins a sorority. Bobby breaks out of the asylum and goes after Beth to finish the job. He'll kill anyone who gets in his way. If you love campy corny cheesy slashers from the 80's, you'll definitely love SORORITY HOUSE MASSACRE!!!

Sorority House Massacre (1986) * 1/2 (out of 4) Really bad slasher has a new girl moving into a sorority house when she starts to have nightmares about some unknown man killing a family. Soon this unknown man escapes from a mental hospital and sure enough he heads to the sorority house where he starts killing the girls and boys there. SORORITY HOUSE MASSACRE features just about everything you'd want from a slasher but even its clichés are clichés. I remember renting this movie as a teenager, you know, back during the years when if a movie had nudity or violence then it was "cool" in my book but even this one struck me as being bad back then. I think there are just so many problems with this sucker that when viewed today they're even more clear. For starters, the entire film seems as if it was being made by someone who didn't like the genre and was just doing the thing because they were offered a job. I don't know a single thing about writer-director Carol Frank except that this is the only time she worked under these titles and it really does seem as if she didn't know anything about making a movie so she just watched other horror films and tried to copy them. The end result is a deadly dull affair that even at just 76-minutes seems way too long and stretched out. The really annoying way the film flashes from the sorority to the mental hospital didn't work and there certainly weren't any scares here. At least the director did realize films like this needed nudity so we got some of that and the death scenes at least featured some blood. The performances are what you'd expect from a film like this and the story really isn't anything to write home about. Believe it or not, this boring mess was actually followed by a sequel, which is one of my favorites of the genre.

Well what I can say about "Sorority House Massacre" well one thing I Can say is that there isn't a single original thought or idea put into This movie whatsoever, for a start it blatantly rips off the story lines From far superior slasher gems such as (Halloween and Slumber Party Massacre), which isn't a bad thing if it's done right and well in this Movie's case it's not.We even get the main heroine having the old routine nightmare visions Of the killer, another tired and tested formula, this could have Worked if it wasn't for the lack lustre performances and mediocre death Scenes, where I think the director was trying to go for mood and Tension rather than gore, with the victims being stabbed in the back or The stomach, but just doesn't succeed and all of which pad out the Running time in this muddled mess, this movie just tries too hard at Copying Halloween and just doesn't succeed definitely suffers from some Pedestrian direction and a full screen transfer that gives it a real 'Made for TV' look. The films quest to be taken seriously isn't helped Either by some dodgy acting and an unconvincing killer.All in all a complete rip off from other movies and it's obvious why The slasher boom started to die down by the late eighties and this Doesn't help at all.
