Sorority House Massacre (1986)
Sleazy eighties slasher with occasional flashes of artistic style and cinematographic flair making the film seem a step above the traditional slasher fayre.
Unfortunately this is counterbalanced by a slightly tepid screenplay which takes an age to develop its central theme and begin dispatching the girls of the sorority house. It's only then that we realize Sorority House Massacre bares more than a passing resemblance to Carpenter's Halloween, though utilizing very little of that film's suspense or scares.
I didn't dislike it at all, in fact i quite enjoyed it, but would only recommend it to slasher completists.
