However, the prank goes awry when Garrett stabs Megan with a tire iron, actually killing her this time. The girls dump Megan’s body in the mineshaft, vowing not to even speak of the event again.
Eight months later, after the graduation, the sorority sisters throw a huge party. Chugs leaves the party to go to her sex appointment. However, he is killed when a hooded man turns up. Chugs is killed after that with a wine bottle shoved down her throat.
Then the killer taunts the girls by sending them the video of Megan’s death and threatens to report it to the police if they don’t show up within 20 minutes. The sisters go back to the mineshaft only to find Megan’s body missing. As the hooded killer tries to kill the girls one by one, the mystery and surprise comes to a sudden halt when the killer turns out to be Andy, Cassidy’s boyfriend who was the valedictorian during the graduation.
While the movie reassembles the mix of both The House Bunny and Final Destination, the suspense of the movie turns out to be mediocre. Sorority Row is a poor remake of the original film. Still, it is highly entertaining to watch especially when the girls start to scream.
Sorority Row is a horror thriller about a group of sorority sisters trying to cover up the death of their house-sister after a prank gone wrong, only to be stalked by a serial killer. Starring Teri Andrzejewski, Briana Evigan, Leah Pipes, Rumer Willis, Jamie Chung, Audrina Patridge, Carrie Fisher, Sorority Row opens on September 11, 2009.
Anna Faris, Emma Stone, Kat Dennings, Katharine McPhee and Rumer Willis in "The House Bunny"
Shelly Darlington (Anna Faris) is a Playboy bunny who lives happily in the Playboy mansion until after her twenty-seventh birthday where she is kicked out of the mansion due to her age. She accidentally bumps into a mini Playboy mansion and enters the house only to realize it belongs to one of the sorority house in the Greek Row of a university. There she meets Mrs. Hagstrom (Beverly D’Angelo), housemother of the sorority called Phi Iota Mu. Mrs. Hagstrom rejects Shelly from joining them as a housemother but one of the housemothers gives Shelly a hint about another sorority house called Zeta Alpha Zeta, which really needs a housemother.
Zeta Alpha Zeta needs to get thirty new pledges in order to keep the houses. When Natalie (Emma Stone) sees that Shelly is able to attract boys, she immediately accepts her as a housemother. Shelly teaches the girls about makeup and men and even throws a super cool party.
Shelly receives a call from Hugh M. Hefner (as himself) who then invites Shelly to come back to the mansion and tells her that she will be on November centerfold. She turns him down initially but calls him back and return to the mansion after the girls have blamed her for making them into somebody else.
The new make-over and the super cool party have attracted many new applications. However, the cunning Phi Iota Mu girls steals the applications which means the Zeta girls will lose the house. Shelly ditches the photo shoot for Playboy centerfold and gives a last speech to save Zeta. Her message about external beauty which won’t last forever wins the heart of many, which leads to thirty new pledges including one from an existing Phi Iota Mu girl and the girls get to keep the house.
Overall, it may be pink, blonde and girly but the movie is quite decent. Anna Faris played the character so well, I could not think of any other actress that fits the bill better. The House Bunny might not be the coolest ever movie for the genre, but it’s nice. So nice.
