This is a low budget slasher (not choppy outdoor sound) .It follows the classic formula of showing us an incident in the past and then bring us to the present. The identity of the killer is not well hidden. I liked the 80's opening with everything being glow in the dark type stuff. When we move to the present,things get a little lame. The high point of the film appears to be the spanking of the twins during the hazing, based on the most popular reproduced photo still. The modern times was not well constructed as it appear they copied another film when they should have done something on their own. The ending was anti-climatic which downgraded the whole film.My recommendation would be to watch "Delta Delta Die" instead and do your own spanking. If you have already seen it, watch the extras.Guide: F-bomb, FF nudity
... View MoreThis started somewhat promising but even that first scene all ready felt very cheap but at that point it could have upped the ante and it could have been decent.That never happens and about 50 minutes long they just stretch it and it becomes very dull. The movie doesn't even attempt to give you anything of a plot twist and is just a real lame story.All 30+ women show up naked but there is no real action there and they basically just stand around so it serves no real purpose. Camera work is often out of focus so picture quality just feels very poor.The poster was the most interesting thing about this movie and probably most of the money got spend on that.There is nothing new here and it's just more of same old,same old.How this got nominated for anything is beyond me and my guess is it must have been something local.Don't recommend it and it would be wise to avoid this one.It's just another bad B-movie.
... View MoreThe mid eighties, a killer is on the lose and a sorority initiation involving silly-string goes wrong burning a girl to death. Cut to present day and the murders start again...Directors Sean Donohue and Christopher Leto offer a love letter of sorts to the Slumber Party series and endless high-school massacre slasher films. Die Die Delta PI's eye catching cover art harks back to the 70s and early 80s hay days of slasher flicks. If choppy indie low budget slasher films float your boat this is for you. Donohue's story is another revenge slasher flick with a shock ending that you really don't need me to tell you about. Let's put some of the acting, continuity, sound and lighting design to one side for a moment, everyone are certainly trying their hardest. Opening in spring 1986 then shifting to present day it tries to equal its peers with the slasher sub- genre perfect ingredients: 1. A high body count and 2: Nudity (Roxy Vandiver fans will be pleased). However, due to its execution and budget restraints it never reaches the highs of the films it emulates. That said, it's packed with gratuitous T & A, paddle spanking, bikinis and plenty of fake claret as a hooded figure picks off (the varying acting talents of) the characters one by one. The cast include Christine Bell, Olivia Blake as Marissa Chambers and the talents of Keisha Burchard and Madison Conradis to name a few. Some of the actors deliver writer Arturo Portillo's lines better than others. The clever casting of the 80s actors to there present day counterparts deserve a mention, actors Donna Parker and Bianca Allaine spring to mind, Shade Burnett's Katherine Jordan and Marcus Koch's inventive effects are notable.While Donohue and Leto's offering is very rough around the edges, keep telling yourself this is a very low budget horror, there's some good editing, plenty of bras, boobs and blood. Probably best viewed with a lot of alcohol and a group of friends until the cops turn up just like in the film.
... View MoreThis film is a throwback to the 80's plain & simple. Well done. Marcus Koch's gore & blood effects were nicely done. Good kill scenes and such made the movie stand out. Filmed around the Tampa Bay Florida area & does have a low budget but done the right way. Shade Burnett stands out as a great part of the film. The cover art for the film is retro looking & really cool. Some female nudity which is always a plus in a slasher film. I recommend this film to any horror or slasher film fan. The director and writer set out to make a sorority slasher film and they were successful. Nothing new to speak of in this film as it's been done over & over but for someone like myself that loves this style of film I never get tired of it. My cast signed DVD is part of my slasher collection & I will watch it many times again in the years to come. Go out and get it and support independent cinema.
