Critic Reviews

Russell Edwards

An average slasher picture that meanders indecisively between gore and gags. Read full review

Frank Scheck

There's little to distinguish this from the rest of the entries coming down the horror film assembly line, though the presence of Carrie Fisher as a shotgun-toting housemother who taunts the killer by shouting "Come to mama!" offers some camp value. Read full review

Kim Newman

Even the gratuitous nudity can't quite save a Heathers-goes-to-college horror that's undermined by a silly plot and clunky dialogue. Read full review

Michelle Orange

Call me the sarcastic sister, but the only things screaming in any convincing way here are the cheap look, epileptic direction and off-key, “edgy” humor. It’s all so ‘80s, I could die. Read full review

Stephen Holden

An interminable mess of a film that juggles more characters and undeveloped subplots than it can handle and even manages to bungle the setup. Read full review

Steven Hyden

Sorority Row might be utterly lacking in suspense, surprises, and wit, but nobody can say it doesn’t have a hero. Read full review

Marc Savlov

Brings absolutely nothing new to the autopsy table that wasn't previously covered. Read full review

Apparently people haven't realized why this genre even exists yet, and are comparing it to other films that aren't even the same thing. This is not a suspense flick, it's a campy slasher flick.

This is not a suspense flick, it's a campy slasher flick. It's not even intended to scare you. The entire point of movies like this is really, really simple: Have someone kill a bunch of teenagers for some reason, throw in some camp value, and sprinkle in some creativity in how everyone gets killed. That's the only thing that's needed. So, let's run it down: Teenagers getting killed for an actual reason, and actually makes a little sense why they would deserve to die? Check. Carrie Fisher as a fearless, badass woman firing a shotgun that somehow doesn't need reloading (she fires it ten times in succession without one reload)? Camp value, check. Creativity in kills? Well, they're nothing groundbreaking, but at least they've all got their own flavor as the girls are picked off one by one. The first one is the best, in my opinion, because the girl is offering someone sexual favors for drugs, and the killer kills the girl by jamming the beer bottle she's drinking down her throat while she's sipping it, and then breaking it so the glass destroys her esophagus. Not bad, I suppose. And a twist ending to boot that would be pretty hard to see coming, but is actually sensible. So where's the problem here? If you want a cool slasher flick, here you go. Watching Carrie Fisher chase a mass murderer through a house with a damned shotgun is worth the money alone.… Expand

Such a fun, trashtastic movie. It was vulgar and bitchy and very Heatherseque. The kills were inventive and actually bloody, not to mention orally themed. Kinda moralistic, but never preachy.

The setup is simple as a group of **** sorority girls play a prank that goes horribly wrong, leaving one of their sisters dead. They of course decide to bury the truth with one of them suggesting otherwise. A year later they begin to receive creepy text messages and find themselves being stalked and brutally murdered by a mysterious hooded killer. The movie is fun, the soundtrack is great, the kills are shocking, the performances are pretty perfect all around and the film is executed stylishly and on top of that the twist is surprisingly creative. But what really makes it fun is that the film lovingly pays homage to the trashy, slasher college subgenre of the 80s successfully. Plus the screenplay is just so fun with some truly inspired dialogue. Brianna Evigan is fierce as one of the final girls and Carrie Fischer is one hell of a stand out as the house mother.

Unoriginal. Too simple for my taste and a bit pointless. Is the typical movie of a murderer who is killing some silly girls and pampered ...

That was almost the most horror movie cliches I'd seen in an hour and a half in my life. It's like a caricature of a real movie. I feel monetarily sodomized paying 16 dollars for that. Only watchable as a softcore smut porn.
