Movie Reviews: Sorority Row

Sorority Row, another film that was not screened for critics in advance, wound up with the sort of reviews that justified the decision.

The Los Angeles Times called up retired second-string critic Kevin Thomas to sit through a showing of the movie.
His conclusion: "Sorority Row unleashes an avalanche of kinetically staged chaos but the effect is a glum turnoff."

But Roger Moore in the Orlando Sentinel gave the film a left-handed compliment. "It's all cheese," he wrote, "but at least this cheese, for the most part, doesn't stink."

I saw Sorority Row on Friday. I didn't think it was that bad. The kill scenes were pretty cool and reminded me of 90's slasher films. The revelation of the killer was lame.

I have not seen it yet but I haven't heard many good things about it. Both the mainstream and horror reviewers are saying it's pretty bad.
