You know what's so strange? Even though I had wanted to see this movie, I was expecting it to be bad, from the trailer, you just knew it was going to be stupid. I still was curious to what it was going to be like and I possibly had one of the best times in a theater watching this movie. I think because we've had so many of these slasher films that everything is so clichéd and you know what to expect, this was a way of doing all that but keeping it fast paced. It poked fun at itself and gave exactly what it should have to it's audience. Not to mention this has possibly one of my new most favorite characters of all time, Jessica. This girl is the ultimate nasty mean b-tch that you know should be killed, but I didn't want her too, she was awesome and hilarious. She led the group and had great charisma. The only character they could've done without or just put in a different actress was Ellie, the nerdy girl of the group played by Rumer Willis, this girl gets on my nerves because I think she's mainly trying to get famous off of her parent's name. But the story while predictable was still a lot of fun.
Run by Mrs. Crenshaw the college sorority Theta Pi is home to seniors and best friends Jessica, Cassidy, Ellie, Claire, Chugs and Megan who, despite Mrs. Crenshaw's best efforts, constantly throw wild parties. During one of these parties Megan discovers her boyfriend Garrett is cheating on her and, with her friends' help, decides to pull a prank on him as payback, faking her own death while making out with Garrett. With help from the sisters Garrett brings Megan to a steel mill, the girls start joking by saying they need to dismember the body, Garrett then stabs Megan with a lug wrench, actually killing her. Panicking, the group dumps Megan's body in an old mineshaft, vowing never to speak of the events that transpired ever again. Eight months later, during the party held after graduation, the girls all receive a picture sent to their phones: a hooded figure holding the bloody wrench Garret used to kill Megan. Jessica takes lead and insists it is merely a prank and they continue with the party. But a hooded killer appears killing off each of the girls involved one by one.
Sorority Row doesn't have likable characters at all and that's why I liked it I think, because it didn't take itself so seriously, we know these girls deserve everything they get after throwing their friend into a ditch without giving her family the proper grief and closure of knowing that their daughter died. Plus that tire iron is possibly the coolest weapon we've seen in a while, it has a blade on one end and I think a bottle opener on the other, lol, OK, just joking. But the kills were cool, the dialog was hilarious, and the characters were awesomely mean and nasty. This was a fast paced action slasher movie that I'm sure in some way will be a cult classic down the line, like those 80's films, I'm sure Sorority Row will have the same reaction. Anyone who didn't have a little fun watching this movie, I feel sorry for you.
7/10
