UK’s 88 Films is gearing up to release the 31st entry in their Slasher Classics Collection with The House on Sorority Row coming to region B Blu-ray on October 23rd! The film is now available for pre-order directly from 88 Films and they have an 88 webstore exclusive that includes a limited edition glossy slipcase and an extensive collectors booklet.
I’ve been eagerly awaiting this release. The House on Sorority Row is a fantastic early 80’s slasher that doesn’t get the same love as films that came later. It’s also such an odd film in the career of director Mark Rosman. Back in 1983 Rosman made his debut with The House on Sorority Row and then followed that up with more genre offerings, mostly made-for-TV, throughout the late 90’s before making the movie to more family-friendly stuff working on Even Stevens, Lizzie McGuire and A Cinderella Story. Rosman’s path as a director is a truly fascinating one.
Synopsis:
88 Films is ready to unleash a certified teen-tormenting gem in the timeless terror title HOUSE ON SORORITY ROW (1983). Remade as a Carrie Fisher-starring blockbuster in 2009, this original effort – about a dorm prank gone wrong and the terrible consequences – doubtlessly inspired such later revenge-flicks as I KNOW WHAT YOU DID LAST SUMMER. A trendsetting genre template, HOUSE ON SORORITY ROW is the latest in our Slasher Classics line.
Special Features:
-Brand new Interview with Composer Richard Band
-Brand new Interview with Film Critic Kim Newman
-Audio Commentary by the Hysteria Lives Podcast team
