What happens
The House on Sorority Row is a 1982 American slasher film written and directed by Mark Rosman in his directorial debut, produced by John G. Clark, and starring Eileen Davidson and Kathryn McNeil. The plot follows a group of sorority sisters being stalked and murdered during their graduation party after they conceal a fatal prank against their house mother, Dorothy Slater. Partially inspired by Les Diaboliques, first-time writer-director Rosman wrote the screenplay in 1980, then titled Seven Sisters. The film was shot on location in Pikesville in the summer of 1981, with additional photography in L.A.. In November 1982, it received a limited theatrical release before expanding on January 21, 1983. The film was a box-office success, grossing between $3–10 million in the USA against a $425,000 budget. It received mixed reviews from film critics, with some praising its suspense and regarding it as superior to other slasher films of its time, while others felt it lacked originality. Despite its mixed critical response, The House on Sorority Row has gained a cult following since its release, and it was named one of the greatest slasher films of all time by Complex in 2017. A remake, Sorority Row, was released in 2009. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
