Running time: 101 mins). Starring: Briana Evigan, Rumer Willis, Leah Pipes, Jamie Cheung, Matt O’Leary, Margo Harshman, Audrina Patridge, Julian Morris, Carrie Fisher. Director: Stewart Hendler.
Sisters are doin’ it for themselves — covering up murder, that is — in Stewart Hendler’s competent remake of the 1983 slasher The House On Sorority Row.
Cast in the rigid mould of countless other teens-in-peril thrillers, Sorority Row works so hard to discount one of its characters as the hooded campus killer that we’re certain of their guilt.
Try too hard to throw an audience off the scent and we’ll easily sniff out a double-bluff.
While the plot slavishly abides by convention, Josh Stolberg and Peter Goldfinger’s script is surprisingly waspish, providing the teenage damsels in distress with some deliciously catty exchanges.
