So it's Saturday night and I'm recommended this movie. I begin watching and am pleasantly surprised! We all know there're some stinkers out there, but this had something for everyone. Let's begin:
Ok, the storyline has been done before (with some minor tweaks), but that's ok because it reminded me a bit of Big Ass Spider-where the bumbling oaf has to rise up and save the day. I did like the comedy from the janitor, and the sorority girls had some quick quips that also delivered humor. If you're looking for over the top comedy, this isn't it. These lines are delivered subtly backed by the situational irony which made it clever.
The effects were mainly practical which definitely caught my eye. Nowadays there is much digital effects, which might look decent on a big budget, but on a low budget, isn't worth it. Yes, there were a few digital effects thrown in (smoke, water spray, etc), but nothing that took away from the gore effects. C'mon this is a horror movie - it needs some good gore. With hearts being pulled out, face skin being ripped off, and bodies torn in half, the effects team put it together nicely.
The acting was also done well. Remember, this is called Sorority of the Damned, so you should know what you're getting into when you hit that play button. But with that, this wasn't one that sounded like everyone was reading from cue cards. You could tell everyone knew their lines and delivered them backed with the appropriate emotion. The character of Jenny did a very nice job as a main character. The janitor (who also co-wrote it) also has good delivery. Let's not forget the legend, Felissa Rose (of Sleepaway Camp) is in this as well.
All in all it was a very entertaining Saturday night B-Horror movie with all the proper ingredients to make it tasty. Will there be things you won't like about it?...maybe.
But will there be things you WILL like about it?...most definitely!
