Sorority Row (2009): Dir: Stewart Hendler / Cast: Briana Evigan, Rumer Willis, Leah Pipes, Jamie Chung, Audrina Patridge: The umpteenth dumb slasher film only this one regards the consequences of our actions. Pretty much the same plot as I Know What You Did Last Summer with a murder taking place and the burying of the evidence. Of course, several months later the guilty parties are haunted and eventually picked off in graphic fashion. Directed by Stewart Hendler who makes good use of locations including a bubble machine. They could have operated that bubble machine throughout the 90 minutes and still made a better film than the junk they eventually released. the cast do nothing more than scream and point blame. Who can blame them? Nobody wants to admit that they were talked into starring in a shitty film such as this. Featuring Briana Evigan, Rumer Willis, Leah Pipes, Audrina Patridge, and Jamie Chung who should all be ashamed to be part of a film this stupid. They could be filmed screaming over a nice game of tag and that would be more entertaining than what they were cast in. We receive countless horror films every year that are similar to this one, and they seem to test the lowest levels of intelligence. What we have here isn't promising. Rather it is a film that should be beat with a tire iron and tossed down a well and never seen again. Score: 3 / 10

Sorority sisters Megan (Audrina Patridge) and Jessica (Leah Pipes) set up Megan's ex-boyfriend/Chugs' brother Garrett (Matt O'Leary) for revenge. They gather the other sisters Cassidy (Briana Evigan), Ellie (Rumer Willis), Claire (Jamie Chung), and Chugs (Margo Harshman) to pretend to dump Megan's body in a lake. The girls continue to pretend and Garrett stabs Megan in the chest to let the air out actually killing her. Jessica convinces the group to dump the body and the tire iron in a mine shaft. Cassidy disagrees so they wrap the body in her jacket. Eight months later, the girls are graduating. Cassidy barely tolerates Jessica and has Andy (Julian Morris) as her boyfriend. They all receive a picture of somebody holding the tire iron. Megan's younger sister Maggie (Caroline D'Amore) shows up. Then a hooded figure starts killing people with an implement shaped like a tire iron.The girls need time and space to set up the characters better. Leah Pipes does the mean girl very well and put herself above all the rest. Briana Evigan is functional as the lead heroine but she needs to be a better foil to Jessica. The other actresses can do no better than 2 dimensional cardboard cutouts. Rumer Willis is reasonable as the brainy geek. The premise is not that original but it has good potential as standard horror fare. It just never rises above being a weak B-movie. There are also way too many characters to keep track of and without better characterization, it's questionable why the audience should care.

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"

Hollywood seem to have something of a talent for churning out the most derivative, generic, cookie-cutter films in existence and SORORITY ROW is a case in point. Ostensibly a remake of a little-known slasher from the '80s, it turns out to be another completely unmemorable reworking of the hoary old I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER storyline.A group of sorority sisters (the usual clichés: the sensitive one, the brash one, the slut, the nerd) accidentally kill one of their own and cover up the crime. Whaddya know, years later somebody starts killing them off one by one with the silliest weapon I've seen to date in a slasher: a tyre iron, of all things.Directed by a no-name with a fine-line in copying other people's work rather than coming out with a style all of his own, SORORITY ROW is a complete bore. The characters are intensely irritating, and the script is alive with the same old tired lines and situations. Even for horror fans it's a letdown, with lame stalk 'n' slash sequences playing out in ways that are invariably predictable. Yet another modern "horror" film I'm glad I didn't pay to watch...
