FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Bumpy Chip It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Mr_Ectoplasma "Sorority House Massacre" follows Beth, a college coed who is spending Memorial Day Weekend at a sorority house with several sisters who want her to join. The house seems strangely familiar to Beth, and a series of dreams and bizarre visions link her to a madman who is dead set on nabbing her in the house.In some ways a "Halloween" ripoff of the highest order, "Sorority House Massacre" takes the blueprint of Carpenter's classic and bases itself on the precise premise without an ounce of shame. Madman breaking out of a psych ward, shots of a group of girls walking through the tree-lined suburbs to class (except here the location is unabashedly California, and the girls college students). While some people have ripped this film for its shameless imitation, genre fans are more likely to appreciate the funky weirdness the film has to offer.There are tinges of a psychic thriller set inside the slasher framework here that are handled surprisingly decently; lots of talk of ghosts, dreams and psychology, and brainwave connections make for some inventive plot fixings. The flashbacks and Beth's bizarre visions of the villain are edited and presented in a startling fashion, and somehow manage to be mildly creepy. The film is much less gory than the title would suggest, which is another reason the film falls in line with a psychic thriller perhaps more than a straightforward slasher. The performances are ho-hum at best, but for a low-budget late eighties horror flick, they are completely respectable. Overall, "Sorority House Massacre" is a heck of a lot better than it should be. It is contrived and at times silly, but there are some genuinely startling on screen encounters with the villain, and the film is engaging in all of its hokey eighties corniness. The obnoxious late- eighties "Saved By the Bell" wardrobe and California atmosphere is also another amusing point of interest. 6/10.

Red-Barracuda A college student moves into a sorority house. Her psychotic brother escapes from the asylum where he has been committed, then descends on her new home and starts hacking his way through her house mates.This slasher film is almost completely devoid of interest. It seems to derive its ideas from Halloween (1978) and A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). From the former the basic storyline is taken and the latter provides the idea of a killer inhabiting the heroine's dreams. I'm not really saying that something totally derivative is automatically a bad thing. Sometimes more of the same is perfectly acceptable. No, the problem here is that movie is very dull. We have the usual assortment of knuckle-headed teens and a boring killer who is as inhuman as usual. It's too safe for its own good. It's not especially gory or sleazy. It's just bland; a coffee table slasher. Seemingly it spawned a sequel so I guess it has its advocates. I suppose fans of 80's slashers might get a kick out of it.

jimmywentworth This movie is so bad - that it's actually entertaining. If you love the 80's - the bad hair, the bad clothes, the bad acting - then is for you. The lead actress - she certainly wont be accused of overacting - she literally had just one facial expression no matter what was happening. I watched it all in disbelief. The scenes in the mental clinic were a joke. I literally thought they were kidding. I am so sorry that this review has such a negative tone - but I just had to write this - even if nobody ever reads it - I will feel as though I have helped humanity a little bit. Easily one of the worst slasher movies I have ever seen. So of course I want to see it again.

trashgang Well well, people warned me not to watch this one. But I had to. I had seen the trailer on youtube and thought, worth watching. But I can tell you that, if you watch the trailer then you have seen the whole movie. Again made as a reaction on Sleepaway Camp and other female flicks and even made at the end of the slasher era it is clear why that scene crashed into oblivion. Nothing really happens, except for the fact that the killer survives almost everything, falling from a window, being hit on the head,...must be an ode to Halloween, but there it worked, here it doesn't. The killings aren't gory at all let's even say, they aren't bloody at all. It's obvious that it was a low budget horror. Look at the girls, not attractive at all. The clothes are worse and the hairstyle is worser. Okay, what makes a slasher is in it, some nudity and first person shots but still it is missing suspense. It could have been much better if the red stuff was flowing. All I can say is that it is indeed a massacre!
