The House on Sorority Row


---
THE HOUSE ON SORORITY ROW
(Mark Rosman, 1983)

After a seemingly innocent prank goes horribly wrong,
a group of sorority sisters are picked off one by one in their sorority house
while throwing a party to celebrate their graduation


bishes are crazy. especially when they're of the sorority sort. the House on Sorority Row is about a group of house girls who want to throw a big blowout party at the end of the semester, and end up clashing with the house mom... and she's got issues. perhaps a bit of the mother complex, which goes back to Ed Gein and the real-life horrors of the 1950's.

Vicki is played by Eileen Davidson, the sexiest of the sorostitutes, she's the ring leader. she doesn't put up with bullsh!t. she knows when there's a problem, and she puts an end to it. she's out to save her skin. completely unaffected by morality. in a different movie, she may have had a better fate

Conclusion: here we go. a slasher that's pretty dammed ridiculous. released in 1983, which was the apex of the slasher craze when these kind of films earned over 60% of total Hollywood box office intake. it's time this happened. despite the humor, this one just seems more dated to me than the others so far. even tho Kate McNeil does an admirable job as our leading lady

Favorite Kill: Vicki and her friend in the graveyard
