Derek Malcolm Guardian [A] mish-mash of scream and scream again nonsense. Aug 20, 2021 Full Review Alan Jones Starburst The House on Sorority Row is yet another in a long list of cheap thrills, sure enough, but a skillfully made, well paced one. Aug 1, 2022 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins With an unsatisfying, incomplete conclusion (thanks to a hasty re-edit) and sparse seriousness, this Z-grade flick is most entertaining as a comedy. Rated: 4/10 Sep 6, 2020 Full Review Molly Henery The Blogging Banshee The House on Sorority Row is a film that every horror fan should see at some point. It's influence can be felt in many later films and TV shows. Rated: 8/10 Nov 2, 2018 Full Review Tim Brayton Antagony & Ecstasy Easily the best slasher of 1983 (not a high bar). Rated: 6/10 Jul 25, 2015 Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com Creative particulars are unexpectedly tight, with writer/director Mark Rosman investing in suspense over pure exploitation, though the basics in nudity, bloodshed, and screamy panic are covered. Rated: B+ May 10, 2014 Full Review Read all reviews

thiago s Filme ruim, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas de terror são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom, tem um cena boa de gore que apareceu a cabeça da garota decepada na privada com sa gie em volta, mas o final foi ruim, o assassino estava brigando com a garota, e os dois caíram, a garota ficou viva e o assassino morreu, mas depois o assassino abra o olho e em vez do filme continuar com a luta dos dois, não o filme acaba do nada e foda-se, com tudo isso, eu não recomendo esse filme. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/02/25 Full Review tm11999 M not bad for a mystery story with blood, ninnies and all the girls are pretty circa 1980. harley kozaks 1st movie, everybody gets what they deserve........or do they......watch this for a time capsule 80's jump scare arama. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/08/25 Full Review Jeff E It's not very scary as a horror movie, especially not over 40 years after it came out, but it's still an entertaining slasher movie that has some decent acting and a couple good kill scenes. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/18/25 Full Review Justin T Another terrible eighties slasher movie with unimpressive gore, dreadful story and simply a complete waste of time. The only possible saving grace was that they did put a tiny amount of effort making this a tiny bit different with the slightest variation to the normal slasher formula. There was the usual flash of a topless woman and some eye-poking and that was about as good as it got. You know, this is not a good film and pale into insignificance compared to Friday the 13th (1980). Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 05/19/25 Full Review Garry A As far as 80s slashers films, this one isn't bad. That's a compliment because alot of them are trash. The doctor gave Katherine a mild sedative but she's running through the house and can hold a gun...OMG! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/02/25 Full Review Jay H A decent horror film with a very frustrating non-ending. The distributor didn't like the ending that was filmed, so it was removed and the movie was released with no ending. Sadly, this footage is gone forever. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/26/24 Full Review Read all reviews
