Sorority Row

Centred around the eponymous sorority house this is a by-the-numbers horror film centering around six pretty college girls who decide to teach the local lothario a lesson,and when he starts to seduce one of them she fakes a "fatal" seizure whereupon he panics and calls for help.

Her chums rush in to show horror and sympathise,and assist him in putting the "corpse" into a pick-up to "dispose" of it.As he descends further into a hysterical torpor the girl "miraculously" comes back to life but he is so frightened he kills her again - only this time for real.The remaining girls then go into hysterics themselves and when they calm down they dispose of the body in a convenient well shaft and they all swear themselves to secrecy.

Lo and behold sometime later they all start to die in the usual inventive and bloody fashion.As the girls start to die all the usual red herrings surface - Carrie Fisher has a cameo as the shotgun-wielding house mother - a long way from Star Wars here.

I have seen worse, the usual game of guessing who will survive.......5/10
