A group of sorority sisters plan their initiation at a brothel where a horrific murder took place thirteen years prior. What they didn't expect was that the killer has returned to knock off anyone who dares enter the house.
The movie starts with a young boy who enters a bordello of some sorts and uses a shotgun to kill two people who are about to have sex. Fast forward 13 years later to Edmonson College where we see a sorority of girls who have set up a pledge initiaition at the same house where the murder took place. The initiation is that the new pledges have to spend the night at the infamous brothel house for the night. As the evening goes on, a few of the pledges see ghosts wandering the halls and rooms. Pretty soon, someone begins killing the pledges leading to the killer reveal and an unsatisfying ending.
Blood Sisters is one of the those "so bad it's good in a very bad way" low budget horror films from the 80's. I thought it was poorly done with an extremely low budget (of 50K), but it tried to be an entertaining horror film with some supernatural/ghostly scenes of the deceased stalking the rooms of the old house. The acting was bad all around and felt like they were university students who were grabbed off of a campus and offered $100 each to run around and scream for the movie to be completed.
My biggest issue with Blood Sisters is that it drags on and on a bit too much even for my liking. There are too many scenes of the ghosts in the rooms of the house and flashbacks of occurrences from years ago which seem to be filler for the movie. When the killer of this movie finally shows themselves, I'm already feeling a bit bored with the whole thing. The killer reveal is done decently, but viewers can tell a mile away who the murderer is when it is finally revealed. The ending is veruy blah as well.
Blood Sisters was in a DVD collection set that I purchased years back. I was way more interested in the other two movies that came with this for sure. This one is a lame late 80's slasher that does have a bit of effort and heart deep in there.
