Sorority House Massacre Movie Review
Sorority House Massacre is a 1986 horror movie directed by Carol Frank and starring Angela O' Neill and John C Russell.
The movie begins with a girl called Beth(O'Neill) who has a brother called Bobby(Russell), who killed her family, but she escaped. He is in a mental institution now, but he is eager to finish the job he started. Beth has visions of him. She is living in a sorority house and she is with some friends of hers there. Her brother takes his chance and he escapes. He is coming for her. Beth tells her friends about her visions and dreams. Meanwhile, Bobby is stealing a car and heading straight for the sorority house. Beth is with her friends, Linda, Sara and Tracy. Some guys turn up to join them. They are Craig, Andy and John. You can see what is going to happen here!!
The guys start telling stories about Bobby and what happened. Beth gets scared. Bobby reaches the sorority house and he starts to kill people. Beth gets hypnotised and she remembered what happened with Bobby when she was young. He tried to kill her. Tracy gets killed by Bobby. Everyone starts to panic and Bobby cuts the phone line. Beth sees him and he chases her. She runs into a room with some of the others and they try to keep him out. He kills more until Beth and Linda are the only two survivors. His doctor figures out where Bobby is and what he is there to do. He tells the cops and they make their way to the sorority house to stop him before he can kill Beth.
Beth and Linda try and run from him. Linda hits him with a shovel and they think that he is dead. He isn't. He kills Linda. He runs after Beth and they face off. She grabs a knife and she stabs him. He is dead this time!! Beth ends up in hospital as the film draws to a close. She still has visions of her homicidal brother. This is a by the numbers slasher movie. That doesn't mean that it is bad, though.
It is quite enjoyable despite being formulaic. The story is similar to Halloween in some ways. It has a sister who is being stalked by her maniac brother. Hmm. That sounds familiar!!! Unfortunately, this film is nowhere as good as Halloween. If you enjoy 80's slashers, as I do, then you will find this entertaining!!! I will give it a 5/10.
I love the 80's slashers, they are what I grew up with and it's fun to have a retro movie night every once in a while. This is definitely a classic.
