Let me just start off by saying that I haven't watched the original movie, so I can't compared the two. That being said, let's start.So let's first assume that no human being would ever be as stupid as this girls were and that was all done for the sake of a horror movie. As horror movies go, this is more of the same slasher killer type. And it fits all of the stereotypes we tend to see in these kinds of movies. Hot chicks do something awful and then it comes to bite them in the butt. And then you find the typical characters you always find on this kids of movies. You have the good girl that always wants to do the right thing, you have the nerd, you have the whore, you have the "leader" and her sidekick. It's just more of the same typical things. The movie doesn't bring anything new, or different for that matter. The only thing that I can say sorta kinda saves this movie, is twist that it gives us when it comes to the murderer. I was not expecting that and I certainly didn't see it coming. That's the only thing I would save about this movie.Overall, nothing new nor exciting is brought to the table. Just more of your typical teenage slasher movie. If you are absolutely bored out of your mind, go ahead and give it a shot. Otherwise, if you have ever seen a teenage slasher movie before, you already knows what happens on this one.

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

Here we have another remake of an 80s slasher-horror movie gone terribly wrong, like many horror remakes we have today. This horror flick follows, directed by Stephen Hendler, a group of Theta Pi sorority sisters who run from a party to pull a prank on one of their sisters' boyfriend who apparently cheated on her. Before too long, the prank goes horribly wrong when they accidentally kill her. In attempt to cover their tracks, the sisters wrap up her body and dump her down a well. A year goes by and the sisters' lives are in jeopardy when a cloaked killer begins stalking them and murdering them and their friends one by one. This film features a cast of Briana Evigan, Leah Pipes, Rumor Willis, Jamie Chung, Margo Harshman, Audrina Patridge, and Matt O'Leary.Out out all of the remakes of the 80s horror films, this one is definitely one of the worst. First case in point, this film shamelessly borrows clichés from nearly every slasher movie out there. Furthermore, the plot revolves around these college girls who are getting stalked by a killer after a murder they committed a year ago, which is roughly the same plot from I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997). Basically, this movie just copies from that movie. The characters are carelessly written and lack any sort of personality. The dialogue is terrible and, at times, quite laughable, especially during the climax scene towards the end. The climax is probably the worst part of the whole film as it hits you with a plot twist of who the killer is that makes no sense nor interest. By this time, the movie completely falls apart and stops making sense.Sorority Row is an example of how not to remake a horror movie. The script is bad, the characters are underdeveloped, and the entire plot is just unoriginal. Sure, it has the blood and gore and titillation that many slasher fans can appeal to. But sadly, it is enough to redeem the film. If you come across this movie anywhere like Netflix, you are better off skipping it.

While this movie might sound interesting on paper, the execution is, well, not especially interesting. If the killers look familiar to you, that's because it borrows from the Scream series. And there's a little "I Know What You Did Last Summer" thrown in as well. Only differences are that the metal hook here is a cross, instead of a pirate hook. And nobody gets run over. But this movie doesn't do those films any justice. In fact, it doesn't do itself any justice. These sorority sisters are one-dimensional, and there's no reason to care about them, individually, or as a group. Sure, you have a bitchy sorority sister, but is there a point to it? The film doesn't even try to be interesting, at least not until the final sequence, which did engage me. If only the rest of the film were just as good. Carrie Fisher appears in what seems like a throwaway role. ** out of ****
