When I stumbled upon this 2007 horror mystery titled "The Haunting of Sorority Row", of course I opted to sit down and watch it, as I never had heard about it. And given my fascination and love of the horror genre, of course I needed no persuasion to sit down and watch the movie.
Now, I had no idea what I was in for, as I had never heard about the movie. So I only knew whatever little I could discern from the movie's synopsis, and the fact that it was a horror mystery of sorts.
The script in the movie was straightforward, but at the same time also very simplistic, almost to the point where it was dumb. Writers Jed Seidel and Michael Vickerman didn't exactly concoct a particularly terrifying or innovating haunted mystery narrative here. It made for semi-adequate entertainment, sure, but you're not in for anything thrilling, new or particularly scary.
I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, but I will say that the actresses and actors actually put on good enough performances, despite of the limitations imposed upon them by an inferior script and storyline.
Visually then "The Haunting of Sorority Row" certainly looked and felt like a TV movie, for better or worse.
All in all, not a particularly outstanding or memorable horror mystery. It came and went without leaving any lasting impression. And I will not return to watch the movie a second time, simply as there isn't enough contents to the narrative.
My rating of director Bert Kish's 2007 horror mystery "The Haunting of Sorority Row" lands on a generous four out of ten stars.
