Reviews for Sorority Row
Even the gratuitous nudity can't quite save a Heathers-goes-to-college horror that's undermined by a silly plot and clunky dialogue.
09/11/09
Top CriticA booty-shakin’, text-messagin’, Facebook-referencin’ multiplex moneyspinner for undemanding twenty-first-century teens.
09/11/09
Top CriticA tooled-up Fisher always adds instant value to any movie. If only she could be arsed to script-doctor them all too.
09/11/09
Top CriticOver 100 long minutes, as each is murdered by an unseen assailant, the movie’s job is to draw empathy from the audience for its harem of harridans. It doesn’t work.
09/11/09
Top CriticSisters are doing it for themselves in this jolly college horror flick – if by "it" you mean horrible slaughter and softcore nudity.
09/11/09
Top CriticGlossy, gorgeous to look at and filled with 'jump'-in-your-seat moments, this has all the hallmarks of a popcorn horror movie, complete with the ubiquitous shower scene, creepy abandoned cellars and characters' humorous nods to their own stupidity.
09/11/09
The combination of gore and giggles can work. But where Scream was funny and knowing and peppered with genuine scares, Sorority Row seems happy merely to play dumb and make a joke of its own derivativeness.
09/11/09
A deeply uninspired re-hash of I Know What You Did Last Summer and Prom Night.
09/11/09
This would be just another breasts-and-blood teen horror if it wasn't for the inclusion of one of the most amusing bitchy characters for some time.
09/11/09
An old-style stalker-slasher movie of no great distinction.
09/11/09
I'm not sure there's any point to this beyond an invitation to ogle teenage girls in their underwear, running and screaming.
09/11/09
Sorority Row isn't remotely scary, but it's still a lot more fun than it ought to be thanks to strong performances and a witty, terrifically bitchy script.
09/11/09
It's a five-star one-star movie, combining style and flair with almost no substance whatsoever. As such, it deserves a solid three stars and a hearty thumbs up as this week's most entertaining mainstream release.
09/11/09
Simultaneously knowing and clueless, the script has the try-hard feel of someone attempting to update the savage teen talk of Heathers, while the plot unfurls as if Scream never happened.
09/11/09
This film is too bland to catch our imagination. There are plenty of cheap thrills, plus some camp excess to keep us laughing, but it's never scary.
09/10/09
Sorority Row proves to be just another crass slasher movie, recycling familiar ingredients to diminishing effect.
09/09/09
Over-the-top humor tries to mask the problems, that it's not scary and the ending comes complete with a double-reverse-tricked-itself-out-of-coherency reveal of the killer.
11/09/09
They're not just college girls. They're B******!
11/04/09
Welcome to Skank Ho sorority, where you'll skills like covering up the grotesque death of one of your sisters during a mean-spirited prank.
