If you are watching a movie entitled "Sorority Party Massacre," you know what you want -- a mindless slasher filled with scantily clad hot girls, with a healthy dollop of nudity and violence. Pretty simple.
"Sorority Party Massacre" beings very promisingly. A smoking hot girl wearing tiny shorts gets lost going to some sort of sorority competition. In a Scream-like beginning, she is terrorized by phone calls and a masked killer and ends up being killed in a gruesome fashion. So far, so good -- seems like the filmmakers get it. The credits roll, and then we are somehow transported to an entirely different movie.
The movie suddenly switches from a slasher to a really bad "comedy." We are introduced to our hero, Detective Watts, who is getting suspended for having anger issues (pounded a suspect in the balls, destroyed a little boy's bike, and grabbed an ice cream cone out of another little kid's hand and smashed it over the kid's head -- that gives you an idea of what passes for "humor" in this film). His captain (played by Kevin Sorbo) sends him to find out what happened to his daughter (the girl in the opening scene). So he heads out to the sorority gathering the girl was headed to to figure out what happened.
There are several hot girls there, but sadly, most of the film is focused on painful to watch attempts at "comedy" between the Detective and the local sheriff department. The "hot girls in peril" plot is definitely pushed to the back in favor of hysterical jokes like, "I liked you better when you were a mongoloid."
The movie tries to end interestingly by recycling a plot from several older films (I won't tell you which ones they are, because that would be a spoiler) but rest assured it doesn't really make much sense and definitely doesn't make the movie experience any better. Nothing in the film comes close to the quality of the opening scene, and I actually think that scene might have been tacked on a later time since a lot of it isn't, in retrospect, consistent with the rest of the movie. If you're looking for nudity, forget it, there's only a quick shot of an extra's boob. And if you're looking for graphic violence, after the promising opening scene, you'll need to look elsewhere.
"Sorority Party Massacre." Easy film to make, but they blew it. Can't recommend this one.
