Sisters of Death (78)

[Cabrini Green]

Sisters of Death is a low budget movie that has a lot of the slasher rules that would hit the big time later on. The film opens with a cheaply looking prologue at a sorority initiation whose final test is a game of Russian Roulette. The first pledge gets away unharmed but the second gets her head blown off. Fast forward seven years where the perverted, flute playing father of the murdered girl sets up a fake reunion on the five models (one a former playmate who would have guessed) who were at the initiation along with two bumbling drivers (one played by Joe Tata who would go on to play the diner owner on Beverly Hills 90201!). How does the father get them from leaving you may ask? With an electric fence around the premises. Yes an electric fence. The rest of the movie has the seven people getting separated from one another and getting bumped off while desperately searching for the power source to turn off that fence. There is even a scene when one girl decides to take a shower even though some of the party is missing. “Cleanliness is godliness.” She proclaims. The movie just gets sillier and sillier as we lead up to the conclusion where the father explains to a tied up heroine in the attic what really happened on that fateful day seven years ago. The director just had to put two twist endings, which the latter makes hardly any sense at all when you think about it. I only recommend this to fans of seventies horror as it doesn’t have much to offer but a one time look.

I haven't even heard of most of the films you review, and this is no exception. It doesn't sound like I need to dart out and watch it out of curiosity. The "electric fence" bit is pretty funny, though.

This can be found on one of those 4 or 10 pack Brentwood sets. They find some of the most obscure movies to fill up their sets. I've watched this one once, and wasn't impressed, since there isn't really anyone to root for except the father, and that's only for him to get his fat ass moving and kill off the other characters so the movie will end sooner.

Where do you get these 10-packs, BTW?

I get the multi-packs at Sam Goody/Movie Play stores.
