Review of Sorority Row (2009) by Jason J — 19 Sep 2010

A slightly above average remake of an 80's slasher movie. The majority of remakes nowadays don't care onto the same feel as the originals. I did not see the original so I cannot say whether or not it stayed true to it.

Perhaps its better that I didn't. It offers a few neat plot twists and some creative murder sequences. I also really liked the characters in the film, because they were a tad more fleshed-out than the typical lineup of female slasher victims.

They had personality, even if it was sometimes cliché - at least it was there. The actresses portraying the girls deserve much of the credit for this, because they made their characters at least halfway interesting.

For the most part, this movie has gone unnoticed, and for good reason. In a time where good horror movies are lacking, Sorority Row adds absolutely zero to the mix, with the exception of the creative weapon.

But, if you're looking to kill some time, then Sorority Row could be your horror fix, just don't expect much.
