Cassidy, Jessica, Ellie, Claire and Megan are sorority sisters and true-blue friends to the end, until a prank gone wrong results in Megan's demise. As the rest tries to cover up the death, they find themselves stalked by a serial killer.
Sorority Row is an interminable mess of a film that juggles more characters and undeveloped subplots than it can handle and even manages to bungle the setup.

...a sporadically watchable yet thoroughly disappointing horror effort that's underwhelming even by the standards of the genre.
By the time the killer's identity is finally revealed you'll be amazed at how screenwriters make big bucks penning lines like, "Who the hell lit the house on fire? Shit!"
Call me the sarcastic sister, but the only thing screaming in any convincing way here are the cheap look, epileptic direction, and off-key, "edgy" humor.
It lapses into that familiar category of movies that go in for lots of fancy obfuscation along the way only to make its story seem all the more simple, trite and contrived by the finish.
Typical slasher film packed with boobs, boys, booze and blood. Go into Sorority Row with your brain on cruise control and just enjoy the movie for what it is: a gore party.
