I'm not a fan of new slasher movies. They're cliched and never say anything new. From today's viewpoint, one could say The House on Sorority Row is somewhat cliched as well. The story is that there are a group of girls who have just graduated and are staying in their sorority house so they can hold their graduation party there. The house mother, Mrs Slater, however, has a policy that all the girls must be out by a specific date and is not too pleased when she finds they're still there. One of the girls talks the others into playing a prank on Mrs Slater to demonstrate that they won't be pushed around. The prank goes wrong, however, and Mrs Slater is killed. The girl who came up with the prank doesn't want to take responsibility for what happened so she talks the others into hiding the body in the swimming pool until the party is over. She claims that they will ALL get in trouble, not just those responsible for the prank (the law student girl should really have known that wasn't true). During the party, the girls then start getting picked off one by one - the question is, is it Mrs Slater back from the grave? Or is it someone else?

You have to keep in mind that this was one of the first slasher movies. The slasher movie conventions, so nicely laid bare for us in Scream, weren't written yet, which means that at the time it was made it wasn't cliched. At times, after the introductory flashback scenes, for instance, the film seems like it's going to be some kind of drama about college life. And the way Mrs Slater is portrayed deals with 'tradition vs the new'. When she was younger, women didn't behave in the way the girls in the sorority house did (not so blatantly anyway) and you get the feeling that she yearns for an earlier time, a time that she was comfortable with.

This 1982 film [aka House of Evil and Seven Sisters] is an ‘old school’ slasher movie and opens to seven graduates posing for their graduation photo and have arranged between them, to hold their graduation party at the house –which will be closed that day. However their plan hits a snag when their strict housemother, Mrs Slater, unexpectedly returns and spoils their plan. Undeterred, the 7 sorority sisters go ahead with their party and decide to play a prank on Mrs Slater but it all goes wrong and the girls agree to hide Slater's body in their dirty swimming pool until the party is finished. But when the body vanishes the girls wonder if she is actually dead or has someone else discovered their secret. Things turn worse as one by one the girls meet an unfortunate end, along with one or two guests.
The first thing about this is that you don’t get the cover illustrated, you get a black and white picture cover with red titles and an 18 rating –not 15. The main problem is that as soon as the film loads, you think you’re watching a flashback due to the very 1970’s grainy picture, sound quality, music and overall style, but you soon realise that’s down to the low $425,000 budget. This is also a single disc version [the region 1 is a double] which has no facilities other then play, scene selection and its trailer. This has gained quite a cult following being one of the early examples of the slasher genre, but sadly, is now more a suspense thriller. It lacks the gore and shock that many new horror films possess but it’s strength is its Hitchcockian approach to the murders. with two decent scenes of gore for the fans.
The acting is generally good, but can be hit and miss in places –mainly due to a lack of emotional involvement with the script.

A group of sorority girls can't afford to have their party where they wanted, so they decide to hold the party at the sorority house. Mrs Slater finds out that the girls are planning on staying, even though the house gets closed for three months after the school year. She demands that the girls be out of the house the day after, and insists there will be no party. It seems that Mrs Slater was once a great housemother who had an excellent relationship with the girls in her care, but over the years she's become miserable and bitter, and the girls now view her as a dinosaur. Already furious that the girls are still in the house when it should be empty, she catches one of the girls called Vicki having sex and is disgusted. She exclaims "You filth, trash like you doesn't belong in my house." Vicki decides to pull a prank on Mrs Slater, and of course the prank goes wrong resulting in her death. Vicki manages to rope the others into covering it up for her, instead of just going to the police and explaining the accident. There's the usual arguments of she's already dead and going to the police won't change anything and why should all our lives be ruined for a mistake? With Mrs Slater dead and her body out of the way, the girls decide to go ahead with the party. Once the party begins, the girls start getting knocked off one by one.

The acting really does fluctuate between good and awful, but it's classic eighties bad acting which is never a bad thing. Kate McNeil is the main girl and the film focuses on her more than the others, a good thing as she's clearly the better actress out of the friends. I watched her just last week in Monkey Shines and she's gone on to have considerably more success than the others, she's appeared in dozens of TV shows throughout the last twenty years.
