It's college graduation time! A house of sorority sisters is planning a huge party to celebrate the occasion. But their strict house mother forbids the party and demands that all of the sisters leave at once. Plotting revenge, the sisters use a gun they think is full of blanks to play a harmless prank on the house mother. The prank goes horribly wrong and the house mother is shot and killed. The sisters hide the body in the pool so they can move on with their lives and party. However, as the party begins the body disappears and some of the party goers are being picked off one by one.
The House on Sorority Row is everything you'd look for in a slasher movie. Bloodshed, nudity, partying, humorous moments, and fun characters. I'm a sucker for party scenes, myself. The party they have going in this film is no slouch. They have a pretty catchy new wave band jamming out every time it cuts back to the party.
Not too much bad to say about this movie. It certainly isn't perfect but it's one of the best films I've watched this month. I will ask what these girls were thinking. Did they really think none of them would ever be questioned when people noticed their house mother is missing? No idea how they truly planned on getting away with their heinous accidental crime.
The twist near the end is kind of predictable but still fun. It may fool people who aren't familiar with the genre. But even if you figure it out early, the final 20 minutes or so is incredibly tense. The director takes several moments and leaves you in suspense for as long as possible before finally delivering his scares. If you're a fan of slashers and haven't seen this one for some reason check it out!
Side Note: It's kind of regular for these 80's films to cast actors who look much older than their characters. This movie is extremely bad about it though. I don't think their is a single male college student in this that looks like he's any younger than 35.
