One of several features commissioned for the cable "Rebel Highway" series--which asked interesting new directors/scenarists to liberally "remake" classic 1950s drive-in exploitation titles--this isn't a patch on Roger Corman's original 1957 "Sorority Girl." Like the latter, it portrays a seductive pathological liar and general mean girl who infiltrates a college sorority and quickly manages to wreak havoc with all the members, plus their boyfriends. It also echoes the original's poor-little-rich-girl theme in showing just how callous and shallow her mother is. But the B&W original is crude and lurid yet psychologically forceful (even shocking) in a way this slicker, more cynical, glibly p.c. update can't match. Part of it is that mores have changed so much since 1957, we can't possibly be shocked by the same content. But this "Confessions" is trite, sentimental, stereotypical and hyperbolic--not improving on its original in any way. It's semi-ironic cheese. The original movie's anti-heroine was a great troubled Z-noir figure; here she's just another sexy young "bad girl."

I like a lot of this movie, especially the character of Sabrina! Man, I want to own a 1958 Corvette now!It's really too bad there are no extra features on the DVD, I don't own it but that's what I've heard. I would have really looked forward to a director's cut or bloopers, deleted scenes, interviews, film locations be disclosed. The movie had some big flaws, one of which is that we know nothing about Sabrina's history and just how bad of a girl she had been in the past (and how she came about getting that fantastic car). Makes me want to watch a Prequel, or Sequel (after jailtime, is she reformed?).I have to keep in mind that it was a made-for-TV movie, and I am glad this movie exists, despite it's imperfections. The character of Rita Summers, Mort's GF, wasn't very strong and didn't fight back against Sabrina's aggressiveness. That was disappointing.Maybe if it were a TV mini-series it would have been better. Then again maybe not. A full blown TV series, yes.I feel as though the only good acting in the movie was done by the actors of Sabrina and Mort. Also Sabrina's mother was pretty good although brief. If you notice, the actor of her mother played a Starfleet Admiral in Star Trek: TNG.After watching the movie, I'm glad I watched it but at the same time I am angry that the audience was left hanging without closure. Sabrina is clearly going to be different now, hopefully she will reform and be not such a bad girl anymore and finally get a college degree and be a mother. Maybe I should mail Jamie Luner and ask if she'd want to do a Sequel!Also, good information for fans; 'Confessions of sorority girls' was filmed at King Gillette Ranch/Soka University! I might roll through there one day with a Corvette... Just look up King Gillette Ranch on Google Maps and you hover the orange streetview guy around and there are still images that will pop up. The entrance matches the scene where Sabrina drives up to the 'Fillmore College' sign!!

is it profane or spiteful if i say "what a load of crap"? just wondering because Confessions was poor film... please read on because there is no spoiler here... the characters were flat, the plot was lame... and there were no confessions of any sorority girl... rent something else... or watch Lifetime

A inspired storyline for one of the most original and entertaining sorority movies of the early 90's. Alyssa Milano as Rita is superb and is definitely one of the best young actresses of her generation.When the new girl at Sorority High starts causing trouble, you know that troublesome adventures will ensue. In short, this is a classic film which would only be more complete with the addition of Bella Emburg as a strict Swedish headmistress. 10/10 a Must see!!!
