Review of Sorority Row (2009) by Zane T — 03 Dec 2010
About the only thing that saves this movie is a glorified cameo by Carrie Fisher as a shotgun-packing sorority house mother. Now middle-aged and packing more extra pounds than Jabba the Hut, Fisher seems to actually do a good bit of self-mockery.
If only the rest of the movie had the same tone. Instead, this is another remake of a 1970's and 1980's slasher movie that didn't need to be remade. The plot involves some snobby sorority girls who try to pull a prank on a two-timer which backfires when he accidentally kills one of them and they cover up the death.
Flash forward eight months to the most lamest college graduation ever where there seems to be more people at a party than graduating and a serial killer starts sending text messages and people start dying off.
If you know anything about Roger Ebert's Law of the the Most Extraneous Character, it goes something like this, whoever seems to have no other sole purpose in the movie except to be the killer.
