Movie Review : "Sorority House Massacre."
"Sorority House Massacre." A thriller. Rated R for plentiful violence, profanity and nudity.
By Scott Cain Staff Writer
"Sorority House Massacre" is even more humdrum than the shamelessly exploitative title suggests.
Four coeds who are the only weekend occupants of a Los Angeles sorority house are stalked by a psychopath. The girls have ample opportunity to escape, but they usually find that they have locked themselves inside the house and have misplaced the key. The two-story building has at least a dozen windows on the ground floor, but they never think to get out that way.
At one point, two of the intended victims actually make their way outside the house but can't think of a way to get out of the yard. We must hope that these are not the brightest students on campus.
As ever in stories of this type, the electricity goes off. This inconvenience does not prevent the girls from watching a horror movie on television. This is shortly before Bobby escapes from an asylum, having divined from brain waves that sister Beth, the only member of his family he did not kill a dozen years earlier, has moved back into the old homestead, which is now a sorority house. Beth realizes from brain waves that Bobby is on the way for a showdown but waits until he is outside t he door to inform her friends. She will not win the prize for Miss Considerate.
