Sorority Row

A group of sisters of the Theta Pi sorority at one of the largest party schools decide it is a good idea to pull a prank on one of the sister’s cheating boyfriend. They give Garrett fake roofies to slip in his girlfriend’s drink and have his way with her. The prank evolves when she fakes a series of convulsions and an apparent death. The sisters and sleazy boyfriend take Megan to a run down mining area where they will pretend to dump her body. Garrett then proceeds to ruin the prank by driving a tire iron through her chest to “deflate her lungs” so she won’t float in the nearby lake. The sisters vow to throw Megan down a mine shaft along with the tire iron and never speak of the whole situation. The plot thickens when all the sisters receive a text message from Megan’s phone showing a picture of the bloody tire iron. Thus the ridiculousness and typical question of “who is killing us all one by one?” ensues.
The script of Sorority Row, although shallow and filled with wak dialogue, holds to the basics of screenwriting. All the elements are present to contribute to a traditionally set up screenplay. It first establishes that the events to occur happen to a group of sorority sisters from one of the biggest party houses on campus. The inticing incident occurs when Garrett drives the tire iron through Megan’s chest. On the basis of the genre of the movie, we know that in killing Megan, someone will take vengeance and kill all the people who were involved.
The first plot point happens when the girls and Garrett receive a text message from someone they don’t know that shows a picture of the bloody tire iron. After receiving this message, they come to the conclusion that someone is just playing a horrible joke on them.
The second plot point occurs when they find the first dead person. The first girl to be taken out was alone and just seemed to disappear to all the other girls. But during a party, the sisters find a dead body and start to believe that someone is actually out to kill them. This is also when they realize that they are at a point of no return. There is no running or hiding from their secret anymore.
The climax rises when they finally come face to face with the killer and try and defend themselves. Most of the sisters who hold the secret are dead, and the ones left must fight for their lives. At the conclusion of the movie, the sisters reveal the true identity of the killer (and what a surprise it is… not), and kill him. The only two surviving sisters think that everything is finally at end, or is it?
