SORORITY ROW - kills me! Grade: B-average (Based on advance VIP press preview)
Thursday 9/10/09 - At 1hr 41min this slasher/horror/suspense remake felt overly long. Despite that, Stewart Hendler's direction, Ken Seng's cinematography and the movie's above-average production values lifted it up over other movies of this genre - hence, the B-average grade.
Well - I'd like to point out that if you're able to overlook some plot-holes and continuity errors, then you might just enjoy this flick.
I've not seen the original 1983 House On Sorority Row - so, I have no basis for comparison and I had no expectations. Thus, I was surprised to find myself liking this movie - especially when I am not a major fan of the slasher/horror genre.
Kudos to the relatively unknown BUT talented young thespians who populated the movie.
They played their characters well - I found myself empathizing with some of them while I vicariously shared their peril and sense of terror.
VERDICT:
Worth a visit.
Carrie Fisher rocks! (best lines/zingers in the movie)
