Sorority House Massacre
Sorority House Massacre is a 1986 American slasher film written and directed by Carol Frank, and starring Angela O'Neill, Wendy Martel, Pamela Ross, and Nicole Rio. It follows a sorority pledge who experiences déjà vu in the sorority house when a murderer begins killing the residents over Memorial Day weekend. It is the first film in the Sorority House Massacre trilogy, a spin-off of The Slumber Party Massacre trilogy and second film trilogy in Massacre franchise; like its predecessor, it was entirely written and directed by a woman.
The film was developed by Roger Corman's New Concorde Studios based on the prior commercial success of The Slumber Party Massacre (1982), and Frank, who had worked as a personal assistant to that film's director, was hired to write and direct the project. Shot in Los Angeles, Sorority House Massacre had its world premiere in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on October 10, 1986. It received a largely negative reception on release, often criticized for being "too similar" to Halloween (1978), while it has been retrospectively praised for its characters and feminist themes and went on to acquire a cult following.
It was followed by two sequels, Sorority House Massacre II and Sorority House Massacre III: Hard to Die (both 1990), directed by Jim Wynorski.
When Beth was a little girl, her brother Bobby killed her whole family and attempted to kill her. He was caught and committed, and she grew up with a new family.
Years later, Beth goes to college, where she joins a sorority. Due to a memory lapse, she does not remember that the sorority house was her childhood home, but her memory soon returns. Meanwhile, Bobby senses her presence in the house and escapes the mental asylum to finish the job he couldn't complete. He steals a hunting knife in a hardware shop before killing the elderly owner.
As Beth settles into the sorority, many of the girls leave for the weekend, leaving only her, Linda, Sara, and Tracy in the house. As the girls enjoy having the house to themselves, Craig, Andy, and John come over. John tells the story of Beth's family murders, scaring her. She goes to bed and has a nightmare about her brother, becoming more scared. She remembers her brother hiding a knife in the fireplace, and when the group investigates, they find the knife. Realizing the time, Andy leaves in a rush, only to be confronted by Bobby and stabbed to death. Linda hypnotizes Beth, who recalls Bobby attacking her. Afterward, Tracy and Craig go outside to the tipi they set up earlier, while Linda and Sara go to bed. Bobby attacks Tracy and Craig, shredding the tipi with his knife. As they try to escape, Tracy is stabbed to death. Craig runs into the house and alerts Linda and Sara, who try to phone the police but find the lines have been cut. They attempt to warn Beth and John, but both have fallen asleep. As Bobby approaches them, Beth wakes and runs upstairs to the others, but John is murdered.
The survivors barricade themselves inside a room, before Craig escapes out the window down a safety ladder. While he holds it steady for Linda to climb down, Bobby stabs Craig to death before climbing up the ladder for Linda. Linda manages to get back through the window, and the others remove the ladder, causing Bobby to fall. Thinking he is dead, the girls try to escape the house, but upon discovering he is still alive, barricade themselves back into the room. However, Bobby comes in through the window, and they flee outside. They once more encounter Bobby, who manages to repeatedly stab Sara. Meanwhile, Bobby's search party realizes he will have gone to his old house and sends the police there.
Beth and Linda run down into the basement, where Beth finally realizes what happened to her when she was younger. When Bobby attacks them again, the girls run upstairs. Bobby corners Beth, but Linda manages to hit him with a shovel. Thinking he is dead, they begin to leave the house, but Bobby stabs Linda before attacking Beth, who overpowers him and stabs him in the neck, killing him. The police arrive. Beth is taken to the hospital, where she continues to have nightmares about her brother.
