Horror has a home at 88 Films – as followers of our acclaimed Slasher Classics range will be happy to attest. As this line of lacerating fright favourites surpasses thirty titles – and as we look to the future of the fearsome collection – we are proud to confirm that our next release is a certified carnage-packed masterpiece in the 1983 cult favourite THE HOUSE ON SORORITY ROW. Long demanded from fans of the glorious gory glory days of slice and dice delirium, this ultra-intense example of the beloved terror-trend sets up a group of beautiful young college babes who pit their wits against a mysterious clown-masked marauder who likes nothing better than tearing into the flesh of feisty graduate girls! The reason for this bloodstained rampage has to do with a FRIDAY THE 13TH-style slaughter of an old lady who also so happens to be the mother of an unfortunate mutant son – and, as any genre buff can attest, the family that stays together is the one that also slays together!!!
Unleashed just in time for Halloween, on Monday October 23rd, THE HOUSE ON SORORITY ROW hits UK Blu-Ray in a remastered HD scan with a variety of fresh extras. Especially recorded for this release is an expert audio commentary from the Hysteria Lives team – headed by Justin Kerswell, author of the best-selling, must-have book TEENAGE WASTELAND: THE SLASHER MOVIE UNCUT. On-camera additions for this essential Slasher Classic are STRIKE UP THE BAND, a lengthy interview with composer Richard Band, and SLASH FROM THE PAST, an insightful chat with the UK’s leading critic Kim Newman. Limited pressings of this treasured knife-play nasty also come with a collector’s booklet from Calum Waddell and a wraparound slip [limited to 500]. Order now from the 88 Films web site to guarantee these as we tend to find that these go faster than a sex-addicted twenty-something in an eighties stalker flick!!!
Often spoken about in the same breath as such similar campus-themed shockers as GRADUATION DAY (1981) and PIECES (1982), but offering far more style and scares than either – THE HOUSE ON SORORITY ROW would be remade in 2009 (starring the late Carrie Fisher from STAR WARS) and cast a spell over any and all splatter-hounds who caught it back in the heady days of grindhouse double-bills! Originally unleashed in the UK under the title HOUSE OF EVIL and directed by Mark Rosman (who developed another video-era favourite in MUTANT), few followers of the 88 Films catalogue are likely to be
disappointed by this spine-tingling macabre masterpiece. As audience members move onto the next generation of postmodern teen-kill cinema (as evidenced by THE FINAL GIRLS and YOU’RE NEXT) see where it all began with THE HOUSE ON SORORITY ROW – perhaps the most perfectly staged of all our plasma-spillers to date!
