Confessions Of Sorority Girls: Review

starstarstarstar
Throughout the 1950s and '60s, independent production company American International Pictures ground out satisfying trash for the drive-in crowd, and a preachy shocker like SORORITY GIRL (1957) reflected the experience of sexually frustrated adolescents. But the cable remake, souped-up though it is, hasn't been updated to reflect present-day mores, so what's the point? Spoiled Sabrina Masterson (Jamie Luner), a student at Fillmore College, is more concerned about showing off her flashy convertible, designer clothes and haughty attitude than cracking the books. Sabrina covets the life of her middle class roommate, Rita (Alyssa Milano), and what sociopathic Sabrina wants, sociopathic Sabrina is accustomed to getting. Vulnerable Rita aspires to be class president, but once the self-centered rich girl learns that Rita's mom is in jail, Rita doesn't stand a chance. Virginal Rita's relationship with her boyfriend, medical student Mort (Brian Bloom), is also endangered — covetous Sabrina puts out. And out of sheer spite, Sabrina convinces a pregnant coed to blame Mort and extort money from him. What form will Sabrina's aberrant behavior next assume? Surely, she wouldn't attack Rita and Mort with a baseball bat and try to lock them inside a burning college hangout? The key to this sort of thriller is an unregenerately villainous villain, like the original SORORITY GIRL's disturbed Sabra (Susan Cabot), whose gleefully unstoppable drive for self-gratification drove right through the film's thin script and threadbare production values. But Debra Hill and Gigi Vorgan's updated screenplay undercuts Sabrina's hissability with the kind of lame psychologizing — the poor little rich girl was neglected by her parents — that was old when the first film was new. Nostalgic fashions and tunes serve as reminders that this film is meant to be taking place during the 1950s, but the characters curse like rap stars and sport MTV-generation hairdos. leave a comment --Robert Pardi
