Sorority Row Audience Reviews

WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Spidersecu Don't Believe the Hype
Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
chitwtay Honestly, the movie's kind of a laugh. With how the girl got for-real murdered, I couldn't stop laughing. I know it's supposed to be terrible, and dang that sucks, but who bashes someone's head in out of fear like that? The rest was cheesy and predictable. If you're going to watch it and you're hoping for a thrill or a scare, watch it at 2am alone in the dark. It'll amp it up a bit more and maybe it'll earn you a couple extra stars on your review.
Python Hyena Sorority Row (2009): Dir: Stewart Hendler / Cast: Briana Evigan, Rumer Willis, Leah Pipes, Jamie Chung, Audrina Patridge: The umpteenth dumb slasher film only this one regards the consequences of our actions. Pretty much the same plot as I Know What You Did Last Summer with a murder taking place and the burying of the evidence. Of course, several months later the guilty parties are haunted and eventually picked off in graphic fashion. Directed by Stewart Hendler who makes good use of locations including a bubble machine. They could have operated that bubble machine throughout the 90 minutes and still made a better film than the junk they eventually released. the cast do nothing more than scream and point blame. Who can blame them? Nobody wants to admit that they were talked into starring in a shitty film such as this. Featuring Briana Evigan, Rumer Willis, Leah Pipes, Audrina Patridge, and Jamie Chung who should all be ashamed to be part of a film this stupid. They could be filmed screaming over a nice game of tag and that would be more entertaining than what they were cast in. We receive countless horror films every year that are similar to this one, and they seem to test the lowest levels of intelligence. What we have here isn't promising. Rather it is a film that should be beat with a tire iron and tossed down a well and never seen again. Score: 3 / 10
lskywalk Sorority Row is far better than it needs to be.Complete with solid acting, a sharp and witty screenplay, and clever, well-shot death scenes, Sorority Row will not disappoint. Like all above average slasher films, this one begins with a moral dilemma: 6 best friends and senior sorority sisters perform a prank at their back to school bash, and it ends in accidental murder. They decide to forge the ultimate sisterhood pact to keep the event a secret, forever changing their relationships with one another. Cut to 8 months later, it is graduation time, and their secret has suddenly started to resurface, coming to a head at the end of the year party, where each girls true colors and allegiances shine through. It has your basic setup: pretty girls stalked by a cloaked figure, ending in a climax at a drunken, out of control party.The girls are, for the most part, well cast and utterly watchable. The stand out performances here are Leah Pipes and Briana Evigan as the two alpha females of the group, who face-off in a battle of the wits. Evigan plays Cassidy, the smart and uncompromising rebel of the group, hellbent on making things right. Pipes plays Jessica, the manipulative, control freak president of the sorority, who's fear of the discovery of this secret could cost her everything, including her Abercrombie-looking boyfriend, who happens to be a prospective senators son. Jamie Chung is sweet and gorgeous as the pushover of the group. And Margo Harshman steals every scene she's in, playing Chuggs, the resident pill-popping party girl of the group. Harshman gives the film almost all of it's much needed comic relief. As for Rumer Willis and Audrina Patridge...sigh. I have to give Willis a certain amount of credit for her role as Ellie, the bookworm. This was her debut film performance, and she isn't terrible., however she doesn't have the chops to carry off some of the more emotionally complex scenes her character has to sob through. Audrina Patridge, who garnered fame playing herself in the reality show The Hills, barely has three lines in the film. One can suspect that her role had to be severely reduced once she arrived on set, and couldn't bring even an ounce of personality or charisma to her two dead eyes.The screenplay offers some really good scenes for the girls to play out, some funny zingers, and some quiet moments of true emotion. The film allows for more character development than I've seen in any slasher movie since Scream. The direction is slick, and the photography is dazzling, complete with a few thrilling and creative death scenes, which is part of the reason us horror film lovers go to these silly movies. In a land full of boring and bland horror remakes, this one is smart and fast paced, and perhaps, better than the original.
elshikh4 I would love to watch a movie about men eating rats rather than this movie. It's not bog-standard; it's abomination. And the reasons why are many..The female cast : They are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO UGLYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY. None of them can be humanly watched. Their faces, their bodies, ahhhhhh seeing them hurts your eyes and soul ! The plot : Seriously, how many times did you see this known by heart plot before? (they should have called it "I Know What You Did Last Scream" !). And to make it worse, there is no renewal whatsoever. Even the wrong points are the same (like the weakness of the killer's motive). One of the parody's definitions is "any cultural practice which provides a relatively polemical allusive imitation of another cultural production or practice". Accordingly, this is not a horror, this is a parody, yet – oh god – without laughing (see the horror of it ?!).The performance : Hideous is what comes to my mind to describe the performance in this ordeal. I thought at the start that this is about different characters in one hot situation, but they were all the same all along !! Moreover, did you notice how all the lead actresses show their deepest fears when someone removes a shower's curtain, nevertheless they don't ever panic while seeing a new murdered boy or girl ???!!!The bore : During the first half, I was saying to myself "I saw all of this before". And during the second half, I was saying "would I live long enough to see this movie's end ?!". These are 2 kinds of bore. And this movie, proudly and foolishly, has them together ! The idiocy : If you think about the whole sequence of the house, you'll hate this movie, their makers, along with yourself. For instance, all hell breaks loose, one boy is slain, and one girl is killed by electricity, though a girl and a boy are still making love, and a girl – at the attic – is waiting naked for a boy to make love with her ??? The head of the sorority, played by Carrie Fisher, didn't pay attention to all of this bloody clamor which was going on for long, unless very very late ?! While the killer is finally killed, he falls right in the basement to see that it's on fire too (how come ??!!). And if you just shut down your brain, and surrender to this movie as a brainless fun, then, can you point out to me; WHERE THE HECK IS THE FUN OF IT ??!!The nudity : It was unnecessary, unsightly, and another source of agonizing this movie presented.The so-called surprising last shot : I was between "Huh?" and "Hahahahahaaaaaa" !So what could be right and watchable ? Well, the directing was capable of embodying tension visually good in some moments. This worked with using more than one camera to shoot the dialogs, shaking the cameras in rarely into-the-point and no exaggerated way, plus using the reflections of the flames on the cast's faces during the end; which was artistically done. The dialog's lines proved some wiliness and efficiency ("Silicon floats", "When I buy a book, I read the last page, because I don't like surprises"). Along with Sorority Row, (2009) had long list of horror remakes like : Friday the 13th, The Stepfather, My Bloody Valentine, Don't Look in the Basement!, The Last House on the Left (they don't even name them differently !!). Though, I won't whine about the grossness of the remakes, sequels, prequels, spin-offs in the American cinema lately, this time I whine about one of them. Sorority Row isn't a remake of The House on Sorority Row (1983), however a remake of endless queue of easy slasher movies, with nothing fresh or amusing, to eventually be a perfect example of a movie with no originality nor entertainment !Sorority Row is repeated, predicable, too long, stupid, and has nothing to offer. I was imagining Tim Burton, Oliver Stone, or Quentin Tarantino doing the same stuff, it would have been at least less cheesy and more interesting. But No. Hollywood simply insists on recycling vomit, time after time, effortlessly. At one point in the movie, a girl who recently threw up, asks a boy to kiss her, and he loathes her; doesn't this remind you of something ?! As for me, his reaction powerfully reminds me with myself while the viewing...men eating rats is definitely better; at least it's new !
