Best movie ever!

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Beth spends the weekend at a sorority house with some of her girlfriends. Unfortunately, she has no memory that this was her house when she was little and not only that - her brother slaughtered their entire family there! Of course, this is the weekend that bro decides to escape from the looney bin, steal a station wagon, and enjoy some sister bonding time (sound familiar?). Beth is having some pretty serious freakouts, too. The lime Jell-o line in the summary is from a hypnosis scene, BTW. Anyhoo - the girls' equally dumb boyfriends show up and they get in a series of ridiculous situations so that they can be killed. And since it's an 80s slasher, we need boobs, so there's a "trying on clothes while bad sax music plays" scene.I love 80s slashers. I really do. So I'm probably being a bit too lenient with Sorority House Massacre, even though it's a blatant ripoff of dozens of Greek house massacre movies and Halloween. It's not good, but it has a certain dumb charm to it in a way. Still, I'll probably never voluntarily watch it again and I can only recommend it to 80s slasher completists like myself.

Sorority House Massacre (1986) * 1/2 (out of 4) Really bad slasher has a new girl moving into a sorority house when she starts to have nightmares about some unknown man killing a family. Soon this unknown man escapes from a mental hospital and sure enough he heads to the sorority house where he starts killing the girls and boys there. SORORITY HOUSE MASSACRE features just about everything you'd want from a slasher but even its clichés are clichés. I remember renting this movie as a teenager, you know, back during the years when if a movie had nudity or violence then it was "cool" in my book but even this one struck me as being bad back then. I think there are just so many problems with this sucker that when viewed today they're even more clear. For starters, the entire film seems as if it was being made by someone who didn't like the genre and was just doing the thing because they were offered a job. I don't know a single thing about writer-director Carol Frank except that this is the only time she worked under these titles and it really does seem as if she didn't know anything about making a movie so she just watched other horror films and tried to copy them. The end result is a deadly dull affair that even at just 76-minutes seems way too long and stretched out. The really annoying way the film flashes from the sorority to the mental hospital didn't work and there certainly weren't any scares here. At least the director did realize films like this needed nudity so we got some of that and the death scenes at least featured some blood. The performances are what you'd expect from a film like this and the story really isn't anything to write home about. Believe it or not, this boring mess was actually followed by a sequel, which is one of my favorites of the genre.

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.

Not to be confused with the earlier and slightly better The Slumber Party Massacre, with which it shares several similarities (a house full of teenage girls, a psycho killer, a virginal heroine, the word 'Massacre' in its title), Sorority House Massacre is yet another routine 80s stalk 'n' slash thriller, with a little Nightmare on Elm Street dream nonsense thrown in to try and spice things up a little.It doesn't work!.When the most horrific thing in a scary movie is the awful fashion sense of its characters, then you know you've picked a real turkey; admittedly, the extra large shoulder pads, baggy checked trousers with extremely high waist, and nasty perms are all fairly amusing, but they do not make up for this film's inability to scare, its lack of gore, or the complete absence of a decent plot.The derivative story sees Angela O'Neill as Beth, the new member of a sorority house where it is rumoured that a lunatic once murdered his entire family. This being a cheesy 80s slasher flick, those rumours eventually prove to be true—well... almost: Beth turns out to be the only survivor of the massacre, now all grown up and lacking any memory of her childhood trauma. Worse still, her brother—the killer—now seems to have a psychic connection with Beth, knows that his lil' sis is back 'home', and wants to finish the job he started 14 years ago. Escaping from his asylum with ease, he makes a quick stop at a store to pick up a hunting knife, and then hot foots it to the sorority house, where he begins to hack up the girls (and their boyfriends, who, this being a cheesy 80s slasher flick, drop by to party).Taking an absolute age to get going, with far too much time spent on mundane chit-chat between the girls, and on Beth's dreary nightmares (caused by her psychic 'link' with her brother), this film has a real problem with its pacing. A little welcome nudity helps a tad to keep viewers from nodding off completely (although none of the girls could really be classed as total babes, they do have nice jugs), but it's left way too late before big bro' finally gets into full-on killing mode. The deaths, when they do arrive, are uninspired, consisting of one tedious, unconvincing stabbing after another, leaving one longing for something a little more creative (is it too much to ask for our killer to make an effort?).By 1986, absolutely tons of slasher movies had already been and gone; this one added nothing new to the genre, whilst making a complete hash out of the stale elements it borrowed from its predecessors.
