A college student spends a weekend at a sorority house to see if she's interested in pledging and gets the strangest sense of deja vu that she's been inside the house before. She has dreams and visions of the house and of a deranged man who, ultimately, breaks out of an asylum and returns to the scene of his crimes...which happens to be the sorority house our leading lady is currently spending the weekend in.

Aside from a few interesting dream sequences and hallucinations straight out of the Nightmare on Elm Street universe, Sorority House Massacre is a by the book slasher movie shot on the cheap without much suspense or much in the way of inventive, bloody murder scenes for the gore fiends among us. At the very least, there are a handful of nice character moments and an effective finale.

A high fashion photographer begins having ghastly visions from the perspective of a serial killer targeting people she knows and she works with a detective to figure out who it could be.

It's a rare horror/suspense turn for both Faye Dunaway and Tommy Lee Jones and the script might feel like it's been tampered with a few too many times to completely work, but there's enough style and pizazz here to make up for a lot of the flaws.

Frat pledges head into the big city to find a stripper for their party and end up in a creepy club where the lead attraction is a bloodthirsty vampire.

It's easy to see the influence of Vamp on films such as From Dusk Til Dawn, but Vamp seems to borrow much of its style from After Hours or Mario Bava's European horror films. The deserted downtown locations are given an especially eerie quality with all the candy colored lighting and Grace Jones makes for an unforgettable and alluring vampire.
