It's bloody, raunchy, exploitive and oh so much fun. If your thing is 80's style slashers with a ton of cheesecake thrown in, then you'll enjoy this. Think too much about it and you're gonna exert yourself right out of a good time.

The movie was good! Witty, scary, funny, entertaining and a must see. and a surprise ending.

I Killed Jenny Shecter gave it a10:
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. Turn off your brain and have fun. Message to RobZombie: This is what a slasher movie is supposed to look like.

With all due apologies to Billy Joel, "Sorority Row" didn't start the fire. Filmmaker Tim Hunter lit the match in 1986 when he shocked Sundance audiences with his debut film "River's Edge", which told the story about a new breed of kids who lacked the moral compass to report the death of a fellow classmates. As Jessica(Leah Pipes), the ice queen of Theta Pi, compartmentalizes the aftermath from the murder of a sister, the moviegoer may remember Layne(Crispin Glover), a speed addict, making the same quintessential disconnect which freed his stoner friends from culpability. But that was then, and this is now. It's hotter. Whereas Samson(Daniel Roebuck) acted alone, Jessica and her privileged sorority sisters are accomplices to the crime. Eight months later, they're toasting with champagne on graduation day as if that fateful practical joke gone horribly wrong, never transpired. A murdered friend, who's rotting away at the bottom of a well, puts no crimp in their house parties and f****. During the course of the killer's retribution, Jessica's ironic stance towards the corpses seem pitched somewhere between a parody on the horror genre itself, and social commentary about the real life horror of having no feelings. Even though "Sorority Row" doesn't know when to stop and supplants the organic(to the story) killer with a far-fetched one, this superior slasher pic burns down the house with a toxic girls gone wild vibe that makes elitism look like fun.

This Movie was actually good. Has great actresses in the film. Great acting and really suspenseful. Couldn't wait to see what happened next.

Best teen slasher flick since 'Scream' and 'IKWYDLS' back in the 90's. Perfect balance of comedy and horror, lots of violence, nudity and it's just pure fun. A must see for slasher fans.
