Critical Reception

While some praised its attempts at modernizing the sorority slasher trope and its stylish direction, many found the plot predictable, the characters underdeveloped, and the scares uninspired.

What Reviewers Say

  • The film suffers from a derivative plot and a lack of originality in its horror elements.

  • Performances are adequate but can't elevate the thin characters or predictable narrative.

Google audience: Audience reviews indicate a mixed reception, with some appreciating the slasher elements and jump scares, while others found the story cliché and the violence gratuitous.

Fun Fact

The film was originally titled 'House Bunny' but was changed to 'Sorority Row' to avoid confusion with the 2008 film 'The House Bunny'.
