Late Nite Grindhouse Presents ‘THE HOUSE ON SORORITY ROW’ – March 11 & 12 at Marcus Des Peres

Our third entry into the 2022 season is the underrated, underseen 1982 slasher THE HOUSE ON SORORITY ROW. Later reimagined/remade in 2009, this film still struggles to find its place amongst other beloved 1980’s slashers. Late Nite Grindhouse is proud to team up with Multicom and AGFA to bring this onto the big screen in St. Louis.

SYNOPSIS

Kate! Vicki! Liz! Jeanie! Diane! Morgan! Stevie! These are the women of Theta Chi, who are celebrating graduation with one last mammoth party. And one last mammoth prank. But of course, no prank in a graduation slasher goes off without a hitch. Soon enough, Theta Chi’s finest find themselves up to their necks in stylized bloodshed, non-hits by a New Wave band called 4 Out Of 5 Doctors, and the most exciting severed-head-in-a-toilet gag since TO ALL A GOODNIGHT. Beautifully photographed and filled with excellent performances, THE HOUSE ON SORORITY ROW feels like what would happen if BLACK CHRISTMAS was made in 1983 instead of 1974. This is also one of the few golden-age slashers that aren’t driven by testosterone. One more reason to love it.
