4K UHD Review – Sorority House Massacre

Roger Corman never turned down a chance to cash in on a profitable moviemaking opportunity, but he took a bit of time to recognize the potential of his "Massacre" series of slasher films. What began in 1982's "The Slumber Party Massacre" didn't really continue until 1987's "The Slumber Party Massacre II," and a real exploration of the brand name emerged in 1986, when "Sorority House Massacre" attempted to capture audience attention with its usual formula of a madman on the loose, stalking young victims. Corman isn't coloring outside the lines with these endeavors, but there's something interesting in the employment of female directors to handle exploitative genre events, finding Carol Frank taking command of "Sorority House Massacre," tasked with expanding personality and orchestrating violence on a tiny budget.
