Director: Mark Rosman

Cast: Kate McNeil, Eileen Davidson, Janis Ward, Robin Meloy, Harley Jane Kozak, Jodi Draigie, Ellen Dorsher, Lois Kelso Hunt



I absolutely adore slashers. I've probably mentioned that way too many times, but it's true and I will continue to say it until everyone knows it.

I love watching an unknown killer, whether he's wearing a mask or not...slicing and dicing through flesh, especially those of stupid young college students...sorority girls to be exact. I'm not jealous of the sorority girls, even though I know for a fact that I would've never been excepted by any of them...but I digress.

I was picking out some horror films to watch for the past Halloween season...well, just a few days ago and I saw my copy of THE HOUSE ON SORORITY ROW. I know it's on DVD, but I don't have that version, I just have the old Vestron Video that I had gotten from ebay a few years ago.

Vestron used to release some great horror flicks back in the day until they went out of business, but I'll talk about that at a later time. Maybe I'll write an article or something..that would be quite cool.

Anyway, back to my review of THE HOUSE ON SORORITY ROW.

A group of girls decide to stay a bit longer in their sorority house to get prepared for their graduation party.

However, their house mother is dead set against them staying there as she always closes up during the summer months.

After a terrible run-in...basically one of them was caught having sex and the girl's waterbed was slashed to pieces...it's decided that they will play a cruel prank on the woman. However, the prank goes awry and the woman ends up dead.

In a panic, the girls try to hide the body by covering it up and sinking it at the bottom of the pool.

Things seem to be going ok, but that's an understatement as someone knows what they did and they want to get revenge.

One by one, the girls begin disappearing (we know that someone is killing them) until there's only one left to confront this madman. Or is it madwoman?

I guess you'll have to find out what happens when you watch THE HOUSE ON SORORITY ROW.

As stated earlier, I love slashers. I really can't express that enough. However, I didn't say that the slashers from the 80's are the absolute best. I just think they are a slice of cheesy pie...hehe! I would rather watch a slasher from the 80's then all the crap that is being released these days...indies not included in that statement.

THE HOUSE ON SORORITY ROW is a great slasher piece from the 80's that I really enjoy. It's quite cheesy and the death scenes are pretty gory, especially the one scene where you see a girl's head in the toilet. You just don't see scenes like that anymore!

This film is one of Eileen Davidson's earlier roles. Who would've thought that she would now star in one of the most popular daytime soap ever (THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS)? I guess from watching her performance in this movie that you can see that she had potential from back in the day to become a huge success. She had that bitchy role down pat, I must say...hehe! Plus she had a brief sex scene too and yes, she does appear nude...topless mostly...hehe!

Anyway, I highly recommend THE HOUSE ON SORORITY ROW. If you love cheesy slashers then seek this flick out. You won't be disappointed!

X Review

  Cast: Mia Goth, Jenna Ortega, Brittany Snow, Martin Henderson, Kid Cudi, Stephen Ure, Owen Campbell  Director: Ti West  A film crew rents a guest house from an elderly couple to make an adult film.  As the night goes on and tensions rise, they are killed off one by one in really gruesome fashion by someone that is observing what kind of filth they are making. First of all, I have to admit that I am not a fan of the films that A24 comes out with. For the most part, they are completely boring and uninteresting to me.   I am the type of person that can't get into films that are known as "slow burns" because I have a tendency to fall asleep. However, X is a much different kind of horror film. Sure, it's still slow-paced, but the storyline is very interesting that you actually don't even realize how long it's taking for the first murder begins and one that happens, you are in for a wild ride. X is set in the rural backwoods of Texas in the 70's and that made ...

Halloween Kills Trailer Review

 Late last week someone had leaked out the trailer for HALLOWEEN KILLS. I didn't have any idea, so I never watched the poor quality that was floating around. The trailer was due to be dropped this week, so what was the studio going to do about this?  Well, you guessed it, they released the official HALLOWEEN KILLS trailer within hours of the leak and that means Halloween came early for us hardcore fans. We all had to wait a year for this movie to finally come out since theaters were closed due to the COVID restrictions and lockdowns. Now that things are getting back to normal and theaters are opening up again, we are finally back on track with movie releases.  So with that said, will HALLOWEEN KILLS live up to expectations? I watched the trailer and let me just say....YES!  I had heard early on that this new Halloween film will be the most brutal and bloody of all the Halloween films and that is including the Rob Zombie movies and that is saying something there. The ...

Cast: Jamie Lee Curtis, Judy Greer, Andi Matichak, Anthony Michael Hall. Kyle Richards, James Jude Courtney  Director: David Gordon Green  After the events of HALLOWEEN 2018, Laurie, Karen and Allyson have escaped the wrath of Michael Myers with Michael trapped in the burning basement of Laurie's compound. However, evil never dies as Michael escapes from the burning building and is more pissed then ever as he goes on the most brutal and bloodiest killing spree to date (forget the RZ versions please). I have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of HALLOWEEN KILLS ever since it was first announced for 2020. And then the unthinkable happened, COVID hit and the movie was pushed to 2021.  I was really worried that the movie was going to be pushed again, but I am so thankful that it didn't occur and HALLOWEEN KILLS has finally been released worldwide. Now, let me get into my thoughts on what was my most anticipated movie of the year. Holy shit, HALLOWEEN KILLS was what I was exp...
