Storia
After joining a sorority, Beth starts experiencing disturbing nightmares about a knife-wielding killer. These visions are revealed to be memories from her past that she has repressed, as it turns out that she had once killed a man in self-defense while he was attempting to assault her. The killer from her nightmares is actually the vengeful brother of the man Beth had killed, who had escaped from a mental institution. As Beth and her sorority sisters move into their new house, they begin to be picked off one by one by this psychotic killer seeking revenge.
Riassunto
Sorority House Massacre is a 1986 slasher horror-comedy directed by Carol Frank, one of the few female directors in the genre at that time. The film follows Beth, a young woman haunted by nightmares after joining a sorority, which eventually reveal her troubled past involving self-defense and revenge. Despite being billed as a comedy, the movie primarily leans into horror tropes, with a psychotic killer picking off sorority sisters in gruesome ways. The film's context is notable for its commentary on women's autonomy and survival within societal expectations.
