Haunting on Fraternity Row

I had a hard time getting through this movie; it was long and boring, with several plotlines running between characters. All of them do come true or whatever, but I found I didn't care an awful lot about any of the characters, but seeing them die was also very dull. I've seen a lot of bad horror movies, and this was one of the worst! I had hopes it would at least be a fun one.

It's like the 2007 Canadian film Haunting of Sorority Row, which to me is a combo of the 1980 elements of House on Sorority Row and Sorority House Massacre.

Your basic first person filming low budget horror movie. There were a couple of good scares, a few *, rock solid abs, drunken college students, and an all star cast of C+ actors. The perfect storm for a scary movie so bad, it's good.

Before 1hr 15 mins film is 1/10. Skip it. After is okay, good effects, but the beast is the worst CGI ever made. And why, in US movies, do Uni students always look 30+?

If you like watching dudes playing with rubber dongs, this movie is for you!

Ok, first off, I love found footage movies, and so I have a soft spot for the genre. Second, this is not a horrible movie. It is not great, but it is not as bad as all of the reviews make it out to be. Decent plot. Amazingly beautiful women. Handsome guys. Not great dialogue, but better than many of the FF I have seen. Some funny scenes though.

So I'm watching a horror flick called The Haunting of Fraternity Row, and honestly, this is usually the kind of movie that sucks, in fact the reviews all say it sucks, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's actually not bad. First of all, some really unique and original script elements, so the usual frat party, hot girl shenanigans becomes less total crap and more smart elements that get you off balanced... the whole movie is kind of a rollercoaster ride manipulating the audience... I would say check this one out... now I'm only 58 minutes in and the whole thing is an hour and 38, but so far so good. A lot of 1 star reviews and one 6/10 that says it's surprisingly better than expected, so now you have two people saying that. Take from what you will, but I am kinda digging it.

You can tell this was written by old men. No character is like a real person...you're just waiting for them to die and then it's all in the last ten mins of the movie. So many awkward scenes of sexism and human indecency...there's literally more * than scares. And the ending doesn't even make sense...

How bad is this? Let me count the ways. There is NO plot. Most of it looks as though a drunk shot it at a frat house party. Bunch of college kids drinking. The criteria for a tolerable B horror flick is five guys, four girls, gratuitous sex scene, boob scenes and one nerd. THIS has too many drunk kids to care about. An hour into it and you are begging for the slasher to start killing people already and on your fourth beer. The acting is downright horrible. I think they all reall y ARE drunk and stoned. At least I HOPE they were as an excuse for the horrible acting. The bad thing. You never do know what it is why it is and just how it sucks out eyeballs from across the room but looks like a kindergarten rendition of Bigfoot. It should at least have straw suckers or something to pop out those eye orbs so fast. Why does this giant ugly ass fanged hair monster only take out eyeballs? Not gory or bloody or even remotely interesting. If you have seen Jeepers Creepers you have seen a much better rendition of eyeball gouging. You cannot even root for the bad thing because it has no backstory that makes logical sense. And then they use The Holy Grail or some such chalice they find in a basement but is actually the key to whatever is going on but you really aren't sure because you have fallen asleep. I thought was on to another movie. They attempt romance which is cheesy and the only funny part of the whole movie....too bad it was unintentional. The humor element was so un funny you almost cringe in pain. I LOVE the B movie genre and I really tried to find something remotely likeable about this movie. Best part of it? That it ended.

Not gonna lie, this had the potential for a good old fashioned horror movie. HOWEVER, THIS WAS HORRIBLE. That is all.
