Sometimes all you needed to get a movie made back in the ’80s was the promise of boobs and blood. This poster promises both and barely delivers on either.
Sorority House Massacre follows the story of Beth as she joins a new sorority. Upon entering the house she starts to get a weird feeling. Those feelings soon develop into horrible nightmares and even violent hallucinations. Beth and her fellow sorority sisters try to find the root of the problem but soon enough, the problem finds them.
Beth realizes that the house the sorority is using is her old house. Not only that, but it is the house where her entire family was killed violently by her brother, with Beth being the only survivor. Her brother escapes from the mental institution where he is currently housed and comes to finish the job. Now Beth and her friends have to survive the night running from her nightmares come true.
Sorority House Massacre was made as part of the “Massacre Collection” that includes the three Slumber Party movies. Knowing this, I thought it would be full of cheese and boobs. Neither was to be true. There was a musical moment, but it was not sung by the killer. Actually, Sorority House Massacre is almost a blatant rip off of Halloween. Brother kills the family, is institutionalized, breaks free and then tries to murder his sister that got away. Worst of all, almost three-quarters of the movie goes by with nothing more than strange flashbacks and allusions of what’s to come. In other words, it’s pretty boring.
There is really no motivation for the brother to kill all the people. At one point during the movie, a doctor discussing his case makes mention of him “hearing something that must have scared him so bad” that he basically punctured his own eardrums. Then it is never mentioned again. The audience has no idea why he wants everyone dead and why he is so desperate to kill his sister all these years later. I realize it’s a crappy horror movie, but something, anything should be explained here. At least Jason, Freddy and even the killer from Monsturd had a motive.
Sorority House Massacre doesn’t deliver on anything that the poster promises. There is a three-minute montage of girls trying on clothes and there are boobs, that is pretty much the extent of the nudity. The girl in the poster isn’t even IN the movie as far as I can tell. Then again, the clothes in this film are so horrible it’s almost blinding. Maybe that is the reason that the brother wanted everyone dead. Maybe they were all just fashion victims. See… that’s what this movie has done to me, I had to sink down to bad pun level. Don’t watch this. You’re better off watching all three of the Slumber Party movies.
