Sadly Over-hyped

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Six girls that are introduced as Chugs (Margo Harshmann), Jessica (Leah Pipes), Claire (Jamie Chung), Ellie (Rumer Willis), Cassidy (Briana Evigan from burning bright) who are celebrating the beginning of their senior year. They clandestinely watch Chug's brother Garret (Matt O'Leary) and Megan (Audrina Partridge) by laptop camera, and Garrett leaves in a panic as Megan throws up as a joke, the group joins Megan as they had a good laugh off and continue with the prank as Garret returns with a car to get to the nearest hospital. They have no phone signal and they are led to an abandoned water well site which is remote from any suburban area. Garrett fatally stabs Megan with a tire iron. In a panic and composure with true inner tendencies coming out like never before, they choose to keep "secrecy and solidarity​" on the cover up by dumping Megan's body with Cassidy's coat, and on time to come back to the party.Eight months later on their graduation thanking Mrs Crenshaw (the fabulous Carrie Fisher who adds comedy flair and balls), as they hang out, a text attachment of the bloody weapon that killed Megan appears on their mobile cell phone, they delete to forget it - and throw another wild party for the evening, then Megan's​ Sister Maggie (Caroline D'Amore) shows up which freaks the group out so they sent her away gently.As the group break up the gruesome and cringing murders happen one by one, as the group are getting mind screwed with impossible possibilities such as: is Megan back from the dead? Or has really Garrett gone nuts? They are at a break down and breaking point with betrayal or making bonds as the story unfolds and the culprit reveals their identity.The script is fantastic because it is so unapologetic and bombastic, this is a crazy and youthful movie that has the darkest humour I ever seen. Majority of the cast is good looking and have their own sense of comedy wit. Leah Pipes steals the show as the detestable, icy, catty, loquacious Jessica who is my favourite character and didn't want her to die. Ellie the plain Jane out of the girls survives and is the most annoying character (identical to the same looking girl from Rob Zombie's Halloween).Despite the turnout, this is one of my favourite horror movies that is crazy, narcissistic, ratty but witty and very funny. The death scenes are well created. What more could you ask for with a great music score and memorable soundtrack?

Let me just start off by saying that I haven't watched the original movie, so I can't compared the two. That being said, let's start.So let's first assume that no human being would ever be as stupid as this girls were and that was all done for the sake of a horror movie. As horror movies go, this is more of the same slasher killer type. And it fits all of the stereotypes we tend to see in these kinds of movies. Hot chicks do something awful and then it comes to bite them in the butt. And then you find the typical characters you always find on this kids of movies. You have the good girl that always wants to do the right thing, you have the nerd, you have the whore, you have the "leader" and her sidekick. It's just more of the same typical things. The movie doesn't bring anything new, or different for that matter. The only thing that I can say sorta kinda saves this movie, is twist that it gives us when it comes to the murderer. I was not expecting that and I certainly didn't see it coming. That's the only thing I would save about this movie.Overall, nothing new nor exciting is brought to the table. Just more of your typical teenage slasher movie. If you are absolutely bored out of your mind, go ahead and give it a shot. Otherwise, if you have ever seen a teenage slasher movie before, you already knows what happens on this one.

Sorority Row is far better than it needs to be.Complete with solid acting, a sharp and witty screenplay, and clever, well-shot death scenes, Sorority Row will not disappoint. Like all above average slasher films, this one begins with a moral dilemma: 6 best friends and senior sorority sisters perform a prank at their back to school bash, and it ends in accidental murder. They decide to forge the ultimate sisterhood pact to keep the event a secret, forever changing their relationships with one another. Cut to 8 months later, it is graduation time, and their secret has suddenly started to resurface, coming to a head at the end of the year party, where each girls true colors and allegiances shine through. It has your basic setup: pretty girls stalked by a cloaked figure, ending in a climax at a drunken, out of control party.The girls are, for the most part, well cast and utterly watchable. The stand out performances here are Leah Pipes and Briana Evigan as the two alpha females of the group, who face-off in a battle of the wits. Evigan plays Cassidy, the smart and uncompromising rebel of the group, hellbent on making things right. Pipes plays Jessica, the manipulative, control freak president of the sorority, who's fear of the discovery of this secret could cost her everything, including her Abercrombie-looking boyfriend, who happens to be a prospective senators son. Jamie Chung is sweet and gorgeous as the pushover of the group. And Margo Harshman steals every scene she's in, playing Chuggs, the resident pill-popping party girl of the group. Harshman gives the film almost all of it's much needed comic relief. As for Rumer Willis and Audrina Patridge...sigh. I have to give Willis a certain amount of credit for her role as Ellie, the bookworm. This was her debut film performance, and she isn't terrible., however she doesn't have the chops to carry off some of the more emotionally complex scenes her character has to sob through. Audrina Patridge, who garnered fame playing herself in the reality show The Hills, barely has three lines in the film. One can suspect that her role had to be severely reduced once she arrived on set, and couldn't bring even an ounce of personality or charisma to her two dead eyes.The screenplay offers some really good scenes for the girls to play out, some funny zingers, and some quiet moments of true emotion. The film allows for more character development than I've seen in any slasher movie since Scream. The direction is slick, and the photography is dazzling, complete with a few thrilling and creative death scenes, which is part of the reason us horror film lovers go to these silly movies. In a land full of boring and bland horror remakes, this one is smart and fast paced, and perhaps, better than the original.

Sorority Row You rated this movie: 3 Rate 5 starsRate 4 starsRate 3 starsRate 2 starsRate 1 star. SavingSorority Row starts off great ... College Rush Pajama party, with some hot looking girls. when a Death occurs, followed by a cover-up, it causes dissension in the group of girls that were all friends at the start. This movie has one of the best weapons used in a "Slasher" movie, all I can say is best use of a tire iron since the invention of the car. Best line in the whole movie was "...It looks updated, like some one has pimped it out.." There is some skin in the movie, but unfortunately not from the main characters you would like to see it from. A lot of it was as predictable as "Slasher" films can be, but over all it was entertaining. Not bad for a group movie, better than most of them that are out there at this time. It had some "B" list stars, Like Jammie (MTV's Real World), Rumer Willies (Demi's& Bruce Wilis's Daughter) and Briana Evigan (Step up 2)But as I said a "slasher" is a "Slasher"
