The sole directorial effort of Carol Frank, "Sorority House Massacre" is a somewhat surreal knock-off of "Black Christmas" with shades of "Halloween II" that could have probably done with the touch of a director with a better sense of humour to offset the strange vibe the movie otherwise gives off. Someone like David DeCoteau, perhaps. The story is simple enough: a college student named Beth shares a kind of psychic link with her incarcerated, and murderous, brother, who duly escapes from his confinement and comes after her and her friends, with bloody results. That about sums up the story and the entire personality of the main protagonist. As for everyone else? Mere fodder to be offed in weirdly shot death scenes. In fact, I'd scarcely describe anyone outside of the lead and villain as actual characters, and even that's a stretch. This is a dumb, boring movie that pales in comparison to the many slashers being released around the same time.
