I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Eric Roberts gets dumped by a student he is having an affair with. He doesn't take it well and shoots himself near a voodoo clown doll trapping his angry soul into the doll. The doll then sets out for revenge.David DeCoteau is bringing back his Puppet Master days with this 12 inch murdering clown. You get kind of a Black Devil Doll From Hell feel when you see the clown going up the stairs etc. This is probably one of his best films since the 90's mostly because he avoids his usual homo erotic elements and brings us a good old campy flick. He still avoids nudity in his films even though he was the king of nudity in the 80's and 90's. One thing of interest is listening to Eric Roberts do a Newton type voice from Hercules, when he is in the doll running around. Overall a stupid film but entertaining none the less and 7000 times better than his Evil Exhumed (2016).

Were you expecting a B film? Sorority Slaughterhouse is a D film. If you didn't know to keep your expectations low from the title, you should after watching the cheapest title sequence ever put to film.But you shouldn't be expecting much from a film called "Sorority Slaughterhouse." And the funny thing is that, as cheap as it is, I actually enjoyed it quite a bit.There's a little skin. There are a few ridiculous, low-budget deaths. Just like you'd expect. But past that, SS is actually fun, with well-written, well-acted, charming characters.Don't expect a masterpiece. It's not. But the fact that it was a little bit better than I expected was a pleasant surprise. I'm glad I took a chance on this.

OK, first of all, a little housekeeping. As of 10/22/16, the synopsis reads, "A group of sorority girls with bad pasts, including one who just committed murder wake up one morning to learn that they are locked inside their sorority house. What's worse is they find out that an escape murderer, is in that same house." That is a complete lie. The film is entirely different.Movie begins with Eric Roberts as Dean of a college, who has been having an affair with one of the students. He is on the phone with her as she breaks up with him, having sent him a 12" clown doll named "Bobo" as a "Breakup Gift." He doesn't take it too well, and starts ranting about "Making her and her sorority sisters pay, teasing men with their firm bodies... (etc)." He shoots himself, but his spirit ends up going into the clown doll. He decides to pay the sorority house a visit and kill everyone, and most of the movie is Bobo the clown doll stalking and killing the sorority sisters and the couple of boyfriends that are there.The film is a cousin to the Puppet Master series, but with tongue firmly in cheek. As with films of this type, it either hits you in the right spot or not. But it definitely hit me in the right spot. I laughed consistently while watching the "effects" (basically, Bobo stands there still or a hand just off camera makes him bounce up and down) while Eric Roberts voices the clown ("Hi! I'm Bobo and you're pissing me off!"). The actresses are all smoking hot and while, unfortunately, there is no nudity, the two hottest actresses spend just about their entire screen time in bikinis. Director David DeCoteau has been making low-budget flicks for over 30 years now, and so it's competently directed, well lit, with clear sound. And Eric Roberts' voice-overs of Bobo are a hoot.Definitely a guilty pleasure for me. But I guess I'm just a sucker for tongue-in-cheek horror comedies with a twelve-inch clown puppet as the villain.

My quick rating - 2,9/10. Take every poor aspect possible for a movie. Think really hard, close your eyes. and imagine. OK, you pictured a clown. A really small clown, chasing around a bunch of horrible actors and actresses. Killing them, of course in non-fantastic ways. This movie is missing everything you would want. If you, like me, were hoping for Eric Roberts running around slasher film style killing half naked women, then you are SOL. Instead you have a silly looking clown doll, usually standing prone (there are no special effects in this movie at all) managing to kill an entire group of co-eds. The premise itself is so baffling right there, but then to sprinkle in a pledge who happens to be a slutty witch just for the sake of explanation of Eric Roberts "soul" ending up inside the clown doll (sorry for the sorta spoiler LOL) and you have this mess. Star ranking would be lower if it wasn't so damn unintentionally funny at times. If you love really bad movies, welcome to heaven. Otherwise, avoid at all costs. Oh, and I have no idea what the plot summary on IMDb is talking about, there is NO axe killer in this flick
