A sorority prank gone wrong leads to a bloody murder spree in this slasher film featuring Rumer Willis, Audrina Patridge, and Carrie Fisher. It was supposed to be a practical joke, but no one was laughing after a girl in the prime of her life had been accidentally murdered. Desperate to go on with their lives and avoid taking responsibility for their actions, the surviving sisters and their male accomplice agree to dump the body and never speak of the incident again. Just after graduation,

Call me the sarcastic sister, but the only thing screaming in any convincing way here are the cheap look, epileptic direction, and off-key, "edgy" humor.
Sorority Row is an interminable mess of a film that juggles more characters and undeveloped subplots than it can handle and even manages to bungle the setup.
The tedious flick offers little more than a few scares, and plenty of boobs. And we're not just talking about the cast.
The "scary'' moments are of the sneak-up-on-you-from-behind variety, but there's little suspense.
It lapses into that familiar category of movies that go in for lots of fancy obfuscation along the way only to make its story seem all the more simple, trite and contrived by the finish.
There's little to distinguish this from the rest of the entries coming down the horror film assembly line.
Like the all-partying, all-screaming sisters of Theta Pi, Sorority Row feels doomed from the first frame.
...a sporadically watchable yet thoroughly disappointing horror effort that's underwhelming even by the standards of the genre.
Classic horror that follows the old pattern, but it follows it well with creative slashings and a well hidden killer. You could do a lot worse.
Sorority Row can laugh at the fact that it falls in line with genre conventions, but it doesn't excuse how easily it adopts them.
Over-the-top humor tries to mask the problems, that it's not scary and the ending comes complete with a double-reverse-tricked-itself-out-of-coherency reveal of the killer.
They're not just college girls. They're B******!
Welcome to Skank Ho sorority, where you'll skills like covering up the grotesque death of one of your sisters during a mean-spirited prank.
A fairly traditional collegiate slasher that entertains but breaks no new ground.
I don't know what could make this movie seem dumber. Oh, and it's also a remake of What You Did Last Summer
After these Bratz dolls dump the Corpsey One down a mine shaft, the plot follows, dropping us into dark spaces without any emotional gravitas, real scares, smart twists or even B-movie fun.
The cast list tells the story: It includes such characters as 'Bra-Clad Sister,' 'Slutty Sister' and (for fans of 'The Man Show'?) 'Trampoline Sister.'
Sorority Row is most successful at creating characters even more insufferable than the usual young people who serve as slasher-flick fodder.
Unexciting remake of the cheapo 1993 slasher film.
A movie that starts with a trampoline pillow-fight and ends with a pile of dead co-eds could have been a misogynistic mess, but Sorority Row is a snappy, bloody blast.
It's Scream minus the wit and verve, with poor Carrie Fisher lost as the cantankerous house mother.
Ruined by Hendler's pointlessly artsy direction, a stab at postmodern snarkiness and an unconscionable 101-minute running time.
It's yet another '80s slasher remake, so you know the drill...er, the tire iron pimped out with blades.
Any film that trashes the talent of Carrie Fisher is a loser in my book and this one stomps up and down on her talent. Don't worry Carrie, I still remember Leia.
Poor! Scary but the acting just made it terrible!
