Sorority Row (2009)

What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Let me just start off by saying that I haven't watched the original movie, so I can't compared the two. That being said, let's start.So let's first assume that no human being would ever be as stupid as this girls were and that was all done for the sake of a horror movie. As horror movies go, this is more of the same slasher killer type. And it fits all of the stereotypes we tend to see in these kinds of movies. Hot chicks do something awful and then it comes to bite them in the butt. And then you find the typical characters you always find on this kids of movies. You have the good girl that always wants to do the right thing, you have the nerd, you have the whore, you have the "leader" and her sidekick. It's just more of the same typical things. The movie doesn't bring anything new, or different for that matter. The only thing that I can say sorta kinda saves this movie, is twist that it gives us when it comes to the murderer. I was not expecting that and I certainly didn't see it coming. That's the only thing I would save about this movie.Overall, nothing new nor exciting is brought to the table. Just more of your typical teenage slasher movie. If you are absolutely bored out of your mind, go ahead and give it a shot. Otherwise, if you have ever seen a teenage slasher movie before, you already knows what happens on this one.

An improbable college prank goes even more improbably wrong with improbable results. Rather than dial 911 and flush their graduation down the toilet, the sisters concerned and the one male present decide to throw the body of the unfortunate victim down a mine then carry on as normal. This course of action is passed on a show of hands, but there is a big difference between reluctant acquiescence and enthusiastic consent. Fast forward to graduation, and the cracks are beginning to show big time. There is also the little matter of a mysterious individual who is murdering people with the weapon of choice, and he is coming for the conspirators. It is a he, right?If you have seen a modern day slasher flick before, you have seen this film, or maybe you haven't. An added twist discovered only when the murders are well underway is that the original foul if "accidental" deed has actually been filmed, albeit accidentally (so many unfortunate "accidents" herein) so obviously this raises a probable revenge motive, albeit an improbable one.After this the girls begin to lose the plot, do they really believe the girl who was stabbed to death with a tyre iron then thrown down a deep mine can be alive? Apparently so, one or two of them do at any rate. Having said that, if you allow for the improbables, the fancifuls, and the accidents, this film does have some class one liners and retorts - most of which are unprintable - and a half decent soundtrack. Sadly, there is no gratuitous nudity, well, not so you'd really notice.

So another horror remake? Shocker ... though not exactly literally. What it is though is beautiful. Especially if you do like women. There is not much acting necessary (which doesn't imply the people involved are not able to do so), just having to look good and scared. All of them are good in that regard.I haven't seen the original (or I don't remember it?), but the premise is pretty simple. As another reviewer wrote, you could say, just another slasher. The effects/murders are pretty good, so you get your moneys worth from that. Thrills are decent enough, though you do know where it is heading and characters still "act" dumb/irrational, as they always do in those movies

Hollywood seem to have something of a talent for churning out the most derivative, generic, cookie-cutter films in existence and SORORITY ROW is a case in point. Ostensibly a remake of a little-known slasher from the '80s, it turns out to be another completely unmemorable reworking of the hoary old I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER storyline.A group of sorority sisters (the usual clichés: the sensitive one, the brash one, the slut, the nerd) accidentally kill one of their own and cover up the crime. Whaddya know, years later somebody starts killing them off one by one with the silliest weapon I've seen to date in a slasher: a tyre iron, of all things.Directed by a no-name with a fine-line in copying other people's work rather than coming out with a style all of his own, SORORITY ROW is a complete bore. The characters are intensely irritating, and the script is alive with the same old tired lines and situations. Even for horror fans it's a letdown, with lame stalk 'n' slash sequences playing out in ways that are invariably predictable. Yet another modern "horror" film I'm glad I didn't pay to watch...
