Sorority girls. They’ve mesmerized men, female golfers and horror auteurs since the first all-girl pillow fight in 1931. The idea of all those young gals holed up in one house, and the unknown wonders that MUST be going on within is dang near irresistible cinema. These real and imagined exploits have been chronicled in such classics as Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama, Sorority House Massacre and the not-quite-classic House on Sorority Row (1983, 92 minutes, aka. House of Evil).
School’s out and the house mother says it’s time to vamoose, but seven of the luscious babes of Greekdom want to hang around for one last killer bash. Mrs. Slater (Lois Kelso Hunt) is the old bat who wants to spoil their fun. She rattles around the house with her walking cane, sneering at the girls and ruining all their nocturnal encounters with boys. She finally twists the panties of the wrong gal, Vicki (Eileen Davidson), who talks her six sisters into playing one doozy of a prank on the tottering crank. Only the gag works TOO well, and they give the old broad a coronary, so naturally they weigh down her body and sink her in their green, slimy swimming pool, just as their party guests begin to arrive. The girls all swear to secrecy, but our heroine Katherine (Kate McNeil) lets her do-gooder conscience get the better of her, especially when coeds start dropping around her one by one. Your grandma will remember Ms. Davidson from her various soap-opera incarnations, but chances are she’s never seen Eileen’s breast-obsessed performance in Goin’ All the Way.
Notables: Three breasts. Eight dead bodies. Cork popping. Gratuitous disco ball with strobe. Bitch slapping. Throat slashing. Multiple puking. One dead bird. Head rolls.
Quotables: Sorority chick engages in coke humor, "To my mother: Who never let me forget I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth — Momma, you were wrong! It’s up my nose." Rotund midnight-swimmer proclaims, "I’m a sea pig!"
Time codes: Vicki’s new waterbed (15:50). Three dudes in briefs (39:58). Katherine hallucinates (1:18:06).
Final thought: Not enough giggle and jiggle for a sorority girl flick. Despite that, a fairly horrific revenge tale emerges.
