Here are two more entries into the recent slew of horror YARMs…I’ve been critical of the movement for the most part, with the exception of the William Castle films, especially after the borefest that was the F13 remake..but they are starting to grow on me at this point…
Film, perhaps above all other art forms – lends itself to the disturbance of the viewer to incite emotion as a form of artistic expression, and Zombie has this talent in spades. It is likely why I hated the Halloween remake, it is undistilled -horror- in its essence I suppose, it sure as hell horrified me..but it wasn’t an enjoyable experience, which is for me essential in a film…
The John Carpenter film does not disturb me the way Rob Zombie’s vision does, which is probably what he intends. So for those who like to be shaken and pushed way out of their comfort zone there is the H2 coming up, and for the peeps who want old style slasher-suspense with new effects and an updated look we have the rest…hopefully Elm St will be FAR FAR better than the pathetic entry that was F13…..

What has a bushy tail, likes nuts and scares the scares the stars of Sorority Row (Briana Evigan, Leah Pipes, Rumer Willis, Margo Harshman and Audrina Patridge)? Find out….We sent Rob Zombie’s kid brother (a.k.a. our very own Spider) to get the lowdown on all of Rob’s upcoming projects, most notably Halloween 2. Can you blame us? After all, the movie’s tag line is ‘Family is Forever….
More Horror YARM: Sorority Row….
Good Grief, not again. And the thing the cast thinks makes it more original than the original is that it is like OTHER CLASSICS like Scream! Jeebus Crispies….
The original film trailer reimagined by HorrorTrailerGuy:
Audrina Patridge, who co-stars in the horror remake of Sorority Row, told a group of reporters that the film is more like the horror films she grew up with than the 1983 original.
Patridge plays sorority girl Megan, one of six sisters pursued by a mysterious killer after they cover up an accidental death caused by one of their pranks.
“It kind of almost reminds me of I Know What You Did Last Summer and Scream,” Patridge said in a group interview on Tuesday in Hollywood, where she was promoting her TV show The Hills. “It’s very suspenseful and makes you jump. It’s very gory. No one knows who the killer is. Six hot girls, it’s a great movie.”
If it’s very gory, in the modern horror flick sense, then it isn’t like Summer and Scream, the point there was the suspense…is this SAW meets Prom Night, cause that is what it sounds like so far….being a horror flick fan I will have to go see it and find out…..
Patridge found out about the original after she was cast. Then she compared it to her film. “When I first read the script, that’s what they told me, so I went and actually got the movie, the original one, House on Sorority Row from 1983, and I watched it. It was scary. This one, the new Sorority Row, is actually modernized. It’s kind of different. It’s almost the same storyline, a prank goes wrong, but they’ve changed it a little bit. It’s not exactly like the original in 1983.”…
How about some of the original?
