Won't be the most intelligent or best acted film you'll see this year, or maybe even this week, but it could be the best fright flick of 2009.

Reviews for Sorority Row
Mean Girls meets I Know What You Did Last Summer... You won't be able to scream for laughing at this sloppy reimagining of a forgotten '80s slasher thriller.
Not entirely unsuccessful remake of a ‘80s slasher flick, there are enough staples of the horror genre here to entertain and scare audiences.
A 1980s horror remake finally graduates to being a fun, smart guilty pleasure.
Over-the-top humor tries to mask the problems, that it's not scary and the ending comes complete with a double-reverse-tricked-itself-out-of-coherency reveal of the killer.
Welcome to Skank Ho sorority, where you'll skills like covering up the grotesque death of one of your sisters during a mean-spirited prank.
A fairly traditional collegiate slasher that entertains but breaks no new ground.
I don't know what could make this movie seem dumber. Oh, and it's also a remake of What You Did Last Summer
After these Bratz dolls dump the Corpsey One down a mine shaft, the plot follows, dropping us into dark spaces without any emotional gravitas, real scares, smart twists or even B-movie fun.
The cast list tells the story: It includes such characters as 'Bra-Clad Sister,' 'Slutty Sister' and (for fans of 'The Man Show'?) 'Trampoline Sister.'
Sorority Row is most successful at creating characters even more insufferable than the usual young people who serve as slasher-flick fodder.
A movie that starts with a trampoline pillow-fight and ends with a pile of dead co-eds could have been a misogynistic mess, but Sorority Row is a snappy, bloody blast.
It's Scream minus the wit and verve, with poor Carrie Fisher lost as the cantankerous house mother.
Ruined by Hendler's pointlessly artsy direction, a stab at postmodern snarkiness and an unconscionable 101-minute running time.
It’s yet another ’80s slasher remake, so you know the drill...er, the tire iron pimped out with blades.
Any film that trashes the talent of Carrie Fisher is a loser in my book and this one stomps up and down on her talent. Don't worry Carrie, I still remember Leia.
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.
