Sorority Row

As if you don’t already know, this is a slasher movie. With this you automatically get gratuitous gore, nudity, a plot that is full of holes and some of the dumbest people ever born into humankind!

We have some very spoiled and undisciplined sorority sisters who put their sorority, Tehta Pi, above all else. That is except for their own futures and well being. During one of their very wild parties, Megan Blair discovers that her boyfriend, Garrett is cheating on her. The sisters decide to teach him a lesson. They plan to have Megan fake her own death while making out with the cheating Garrett. The prank proceeds as planed and is working perfectly to everyone’s delight except Garrett who is understandably devastated. The five sisters agree to aid Garrett in disposing of Megan’s “dead body” and go to a remote mining site with the intention of dropping her body down a deserted mine shaft. Still playing along with the joke, they begin to discuss how best to assure that Megan doesn’t float up and they agree that they must let the air out of her body. The distraught Garrett hears this and before anyone can stop him he stabs the faking Megan in the chest with a lug wrench killing her.

Now everyone is in a panic and they all agree to proceed with the plan and dump Megan down the mineshaft. They first wrap her body in Cassidy’s blood stained coat and then dispose of her in the shaft along with the lug wrench. They all make a vow never to speak of the events of this night again.

Things are working out well for the girls as they go about their selfish existences. Then right after graduation they stage another one of their wild parties and this is where “the wheel comes off of the cart”! All receive a photo sent to their phones showing a figure wearing a black hood and holding a lug wrench which looks just like the one used to kill Megan. They can’t be sure if this is some sick joke that someone is perpetrating on them or if they are in real danger from the dead Megan’s spirit. Garrett’s sister, Chugs, tells her sorority sisters that Garrett has been seeing a therapist but couldn’t possibly be behind the phone prank. They decide that this is exactly what is happening and agree to go on with the party. In the meantime, amid all of the drunkenness and confusion generated by the party, people start to die horribly. One by one the sisters begin to meet grizzly fates at the hands of the mysterious hooded figure. Is it truly Megan returning from the grave to exact her revenge or is it some other physco with his/her own agenda?

Now you may recall that I mentioned that these were some pretty dumb girls. By now, everyone in the universe knows that just because you hit something on the head and it goes down, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it is dead! How about if you hit it three times and it still keeps coming? My friends, no matter how horrific it may be, I would certainly ensure that the head is removed from the body just for safety’s sake! I guess some sorority sisters just never learn.

With the exception of Ellie and Cassidy (and this is a very small exception!) you can’t really care what happens to these characters, after all, this is a slasher movie. It is also just more of the same that we all have seen many times over. Do yourselves a favor and wait for the DVD or be even kinder to yourselves and skip this mess altogether!
