Ew - I got about a third of the way through this before I felt like I was reading the diary of a 12year old girl. This movie has a tight target audience and not much appeal to the rest of us.Nice production values and cute sets. But it feels more like a long episode of Degrassi. There's also just about no male characters except for the school counselor.It emerged onto my radar mistakenly classified as a horror. There ain't much horror here folks.What else can I say? There's a lot of sashaying. The Mary character seems to move perpetually in a stylized slow mo almost like a video clip. Tycho appears on the soundtrack which I thought was a fresh choice.

The drama in 'The Sisterhood of Night' really would struggle to pass for decent story lines in an average episode of your favourite soap opera. It's a rather bizarre movie that sets itself up to be something very entertaining and just very slowly fizzles out to nothing more than a bunch of girls being girls and parents being parents.There's one story arc that gets a little heavier than the rest but even that is breezed over pretty forgettably. No element to any of it justified the making of a film.The acting is pretty average from all the girls. Interesting this was Olivia DeJonge's first film. She has come a long way from here to her very fine performance in M. Night Shyamalan's 'The Visit'. Whether it was his fine direction or just how much she's learnt in that time I'm not sure, but to see her flat and uninspiring performance here caught me quite by surprise. It was a strange film to come across Kal Penn in as well. At first I thought he must've been put in for some comic relief, either that or he was going to turn out to be more important to the story than first met the eye, but neither really turned out to be the case. Overall there's really not a lot to see here.

The Sisterhood of Night is a film in which should be shown to everyone. This movie is based around a group of teens who opted to step away from the social networks and all the ignorant drama that takes place within them, in fact they specified Facebook to be the one to opt away from. A group of teens form a secret club and that club was to simply help each other have an outlet to work on their inner problems and cope with them without the ignorance of gossipers.This movie showed how something as simple as their club can be turned into a public spectacle due to jealousy within the social aspect of social media outlets such as facebook. This movie was not a perfectly overpriced film, and it did not casts the A list of actors and actresses, it put the story out as it was to be. The story-line was amazing, the cast did a wonderful job, this movie as a whole deserves an award for what they made. Outstanding!!!

When I saw the trailer for this movie, it looked gorgeous; the idea of a secret society of teenage girls is one that I've enjoyed since I was a teenage girl myself. What young girl doesn't want to be a part of something bigger than herself, something secret and special? Initially, I admit, I thought that the movie was going to take a turn toward the supernatural or horror genres, that the sisterhood was going to turn out to be a cult, that they were summoning something or casting spells, and although the lack of it wasn't disappointing, the entire movie felt like it was building up to something that just didn't come through. The entire time, I was setting myself up for some big reveal or plot twist, but if the true purpose of the sisterhood was supposed to be a plot twist, it was a disappointing one. The film was still gorgeous. I thought it was well acted, and I enjoyed watching it. But it felt unfinished, like there was something missing, or something that I didn't quite understand. And maybe I didn't understand it; I certainly am not going to rule that out. But it definitely left me wanting.
