This 2nd viewing idea for the review is BRILLIANT! You should mos definitely do this more often cuz it creates a much more dynamic review than your normal ones. Keep up the great work Lee!
Kendawg909 Thank you! I was hoping for some good feedback on this series. I had a good time with it.
You're very welcome! Im glad you enjoyed it and it definitely came thru in the final product. I can't WAIT for 31 Days of October btw!! Any idea for the next film you might do a 2nd viewing review for?
No idea yet. It will all depend on the movie and how I feel after the first watch. If I know that I'm not going to feel that different on the 2nd watch, then I won't bother.
Eileen Davidson became a household name when she was on soaps like Days of Our Lives where during one arc she played 4 different characters at the same time. Ofcourse being a soap, its over the top, but she made each character its own. But I've been watching this movie since my dad recorded it on VHS back in the mid 80s and it is STILL one of my top slasher films. And Robin Meloy (shout out to fellow Pittsburgh native) who played Jeanie, had one of my favorite scenes leading up to her death. The doorknob rattling in the kitchen, the musical score with the chants of "ahh ahh" and her reaction was fearful. Then when the cane goes thru the glass and she knows its about to go down, you feel for her. She is terrified and runs...in the wrong direction, but still...anyways. Great movie.
I saw the filming of this movie one weekend when I was 7. We watched them film the part where they're trying to revive Ms. Slater after they shot her outside the pool. Met all the girls, went for a tour of the house including the attic. Pretty cool day for a 7 year old
One of my favorite underrated slashers.
lakerskings1 Agreed. Loved it the second time around.
I love everything 80’s; sometimes I wish I could go back!🤗
Loved the movie! I don't know if it's just me, but Kate McNeil gave me strong Kristen Stewart vibes, in a good way. I think her face resembles her a lot, and some gestures were very similar!
I was thinking the same thing. She looks a lot like KS!
Yeah I thought the same thing as well except Kate was prettier than Kristen.
I love the house on sorority row. It's one of my favorite early 80's classic slasher movie
Jessica Kugler I consider it one of the better 80s slashers.
There is something that disappointed me about the movie, but it happens towards the end. The killer puts on the jester costume, and it made me a little sad that he didn’t wear that costume throughout the whole movie.
I was watching your review on the bus coming home from work last night. I just feel so relaxed when I watch your videos :D
That is too awesome. Thank you Carmen!
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews aww your welcome sweetheart
Great review as always. I was lucky enough to buy that horror slasher book many years ago when it first came out, and I LOVE it
Karla Straight That slasher book is one of my most prized possessions. I love it.
This is gonna be a fun series! I can't wait to see some of the others you go back over to see if you change your mind or still agree with your original review. Been to busy to watch many YT videos lately so when i do I haven't been commenting but still loving everything Lee keep up the amazing work. I also took a few viewings of this movie to enjoy it was one of my brothers favorites so I've sat through it a few times haha.
AkiraSlayer Me too! The possibilities are endless. Going to be fun.
I completely agree with you my friend!! I did a similar series called second chance Sunday!! Thinking about bringing it back!! I'm a fan of the movie myself, i seem to like it more every time I watch it!! Awesome video!!
Horrific Nightmares JM Awesome and that is a great name. It’s definitely a fun series. Just have to be patient though because of the weight between recording’s.
Surprisely good slasher flick. I like the movies where they dont show the killer until final act. Kills were good and i loved how they tryed to mislead us about the killers identity. Final girl was good also in this one. Highly recomended flick
I originally saw this as a pre-teen on television in the mid 80's before we bought our first VCR, and have loved it since. Two things I loved about is the score (since you don't have many like this), and the fact that it didn't have to be overly edited for television.
Patrick McPherson Agreed! Funny enough, it took me a couple of watches to come around to it. Now it’s one of my favorite 80s slashers.
I love the idea of the second viewing Lee. Awesome idea brother, you should do it more!
Thank you Daniel! I'm planning out my next one now.
Great video man. Keep the hard work up and I love you 💯
Jeff Stokes Thank you!!
Great idea to have a second thoughts review. Yes, we're all human and we can, often do, have new insights, thoughts, and opinions upon re-watching films. I wasn't trying to give you a hard time with your X-Ray ranking, but it's a great case in point. You liked it more after the next viewing :-) This film I'd say is fair, decent, though it doesn't quite make my collection. Not yet :-)
Thank you!
Newish subscriber and just ordered my copy of the Slasher Movie Book 📚
I love that you talk about books related to horror...wouldn’t have known about them without you.
Thank you Chelsea. So glad you're checking out my channel.
This is one of my favorite "so bad it good" movies. I agree with you that it has to be re-watched over and over to appreciate it. The score is fantastic, as you say, one of the better film scores of the 80s (love the music box motif theme) I also think it has one of the better reveals of the killer at the end, when he moves his head in the Harlequin costume it really creepy. Yes, the acting is very debatable for most of the cast but it still stands today as an ok slasher film.
How I discovered this film is a great story. I ordered it online many years ago, prob the mid/early 2000s when online shopping had just started. It was about £2 from some early DVD/Music website in the day. Now, when the DVD came and I played it, suddenly I started to have very suspicious deja vu. I had assumed I had never seen it before but suddenly I instantly recognized the cemetery scene and like a bolt of lightning realised it was a memory from my past, I had seen the film in the 80s when I was very young but just didn't know what film it was, it was like a eureka moment, as I knew there would be a clown music box in it which always frightened the bejesus outta me lol. It was a great feeling to finally put a film title to a long stored memory. :)
ps the song "Waiting for the Change" by the group 4 out of 5 Doctors from the film is amazing, I have it on my playlist today. :)

Thanks for watching Dan. I really adore this movie. It gets better with every watch.
great idea for a new series! - & you definitely have to rewatch sorority row!
lloyd neal I’m planning on it!
I like this revisit thing a lot. FYI I Know What You Did Last Summer is based on a novel that came out 10 years before House on Sorority Row. So even though the movie to Summer came out much later, it was the original plot 😊
Very good point...and thank you Amber!
This is one of my guilty pleasures. I have watched this like 6 times during quarantine. The score is actually beautiful for a horror flick! One thing I noticed was that after Vicky's kill with the cane to the stomach and eye Kate finds her body yet her eye is totally intact and fine. That bugs me. But, I still adore this. The comedy team Rifftrax actually did this movie and it's hilarious. It's free on Amazon Prime if you ever need a laugh! :)
Oh I adore this movie. Such a great little slasher.
I would love to see you review the original Godzilla film from 1954 once you watch it
LOVE the new first and second watch review. It definitely adds a more in depth view on the movie. I always like to go back twice, in case I missed anything, which majority of the time I did. Great review I haven't watched this yet but I shall jump onto prime right now! 🖤
HOLLYamber1693 Thank you Holly! Really appreciate the feedback.
Great video!
This happens with a lot of reviewers, having to watch it twice to get a real reading for the movie. I've always been pretty good with getting how I feel out of movie during my first watch. I can't think of one time where I liked or disliked a movie more based on a second viewing. Mood is everything though. Great review Lee, loved it!
Haha most of the time I like a movie about the same the 2nd time, but every now and then it can go the other way.
Love this movie and it's remake too actually. Enjoyed the review Lee! Keep up the great work man
Thank you Frankie!
I love dumb eighties horror movies. It makes me feel like a kid again as sometimes I would secretly watch the movies while I was home alone
I can throw in a good ol 80s slasher at any time. They just feel like home.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews yes, there is something about the eighties that just brings it home with both good and bad movies
I love this flick and always have. A pure pleasure to watch, even though it has flaws. One of my top video store rented vhs titles as a kid. I am late but a great review. And I agree, does need to be seen more than once.
Yes! One of my favorites.
I never saw this movie, but I saw the remake. I gotta watch it one day; I ❤️ my 80’s slasher movies.
Nicole Barton Hell yeah 80s slashers are the best!
I absolutely love this film, one of my favourite slashers from the eighties! Mrs Skater is hilarious
55bueller I know you do brother. I loved it to bits this last time around.
I never knew there was a original to sorority row. Love the review. I will watch this film as I have sorority row remake on dvd. I always forget Carrie Fisher is in the sorority row remake.
I always forget that too. I just ordered the remake to give it another watch. Gonna be fun.
Lee nice review will check it out
A few things I liked. This 1st and 2nd viewing idea, I think is a good idea you got here. Also, loved the use of ReAnimator for "Spoilers Ahead". 😉😂 I knew that I'd seen it, even have it on Blu Ray myself, but it's been awhile. And I agree, the remake didn't do it justice.
Mistress Jen Thank you Jen! Glad you liked this review idea!
Thanks for the heads up on the slasher book, just got it from eBay, LOVE IT!! Been watching a lot of these movies on Tubi 😊
Yeah it's an awesome freaking book!
I actually appreciate that you revealed who the killer was at the end. I had assumed that it was Peter! Nope. I fully agree with your reviews here, the kills got better as the movie went along. I thought they did a really good job with Liz's neck slit, in particular. Oddly enough, prior to seeing this, I had also recently seen Eileen Davidson in a teen comedy from '81, title "Goin' All the Way". Her looks for '81/'82, seem ahead of that time period.
I think it's a great idea btw, reviewing a movie twice. For the record, I wasn't too crazy about Kate McNeil's performance either; though I know that you changed your position with all of that.
I love those old 80s sleazy sex comedies. They were truly fun and unique.
I need to get that book it looks really cool.
for movies I haven't seen.. I do enjoy your reviews Lee :)
Thank you!
just watched this the other day on tv for the first time, which btw I think watching old movies on tv instead of on UA-cam for the first time is more fun. I didn't think it was great!! but I still thought it was okay and Eric is scary in that part where he kills Vicky and the ending actually made me jump when he opened his eyes. And yes the toilet scene was kind of brutal to be honest 😂
Agreed. I love watching these old ones on VHS actually.
The van scene I thought the same thing when it shows that shot of the killer wearing the blonde wig. Psycho, that was the immediate thought that came into my head.
That scene screams Psycho!
casket don't call eric a killer he a vengeful anti-hero ok
love that richard band score!
Hell yeah. Classic.
Im gonna buy that Slasher book, thanks for showing it.
Welcome!
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews I mean I've been in this channel time before 😂 I was that guy obsessed with last house on the left (my profile picture is also David Hess) 😂😂🤘💯
THE FOG REVIEW!!
Ive noticed you been asking for awhile. Give this person the review!!!!
Seen the original as a kid. I was really young. Don't even remember much. Gotta check it out again. Forgot about this flick.👍
TboneNYC10 If I’m being honest, I saw it when I was a kid too. But don’t remember anything.
Yeah that shadow kill was hard to rid the mind👤
Vicki reminds me of Greta from A Nightmare on Elm Street 5 and Kathryn reminds me of Kristen Stewart.
Omg yessssss Vicki is my favorite character of the movie. For some reason I always like the characters that aren’t the main characters 🤷🏻♂️ lol
I know that this comment is not about this film AT ALL, but it could possibly go with the first view, (possible) second view thoughts concept. I cannot believe this but I got the opportunity to watch the original Halloween (yes, ‘78 Carpenter) recently. I can see why your a fan of the franchise (I am so with you now, it’s REALLY GOOD.), however I had to go eat, and I stupidly forgot to take my phone with me. So I missed the last half hour! 🎃😡 however, my favorite part so far is definitely when he steps out of the bushes, and the camera work around that. Hopefully I’ll be able to see the last act at some point. 😃
P.S- you can laugh at me all you want, but my first thought after watching little Michael kill his sister (besides woah 😳) was “holy crap Lee, don’t let me down now....” and you didn’t, from what I was able to watch!
bearianna Haha that’s awesome! Thanks for sharing Bearianna. And be sure to finish it. The last half-hour is amazing.
Still thinking about watching this one. Still looks creepy. Another creepy movie that came out in 83’ which you have not yet reviewed, is “Curtains.” It stars the late John Vernon, and Lyn Griffin. It’s not a great slasher since most of the kills are done off screen. The production story of the movie is mixed up. It started production in 1980’ and went through a couple different directors and plot synopsis, and genres. I think it was supposed to be mostly a thriller drama like “Black Swan”, then the studio wanted it to be a slasher. There are also subplots that are only referenced once, but aren’t traced throughout the movie. The same goes for the creepy doll that only shows up two or three times in the movie, then is never seen again. The movie does have a beautiful score which sounds like a ballet piece from “Swan Lake” or something. Doesn’t fit the mood of a horror film. It’s worth a listen. ua-cam.com/video/nUOBDAFHkXY/v-deo.html
It’s on my list.
Awesome nightmare on elm street shirt drums
King Ace Hernandez That is actually a custom-made shirt by Woody Bowen designs. It has me in a few of my friends as the dream Warriors. It’s available at the Drumdums store.
I definitely check it out on DVD it seem like good slasher movie I love slasher film
I got to see this it looks very interesting and the whole prank thing it kinda reminds me of Jaw Breaker
metalhead6442 Definitely check it out. One of the better 80/or’s. It’s in “A” slasher if you ask me.
Definitely like the premise behind this rewatching series. What about calling it Drumdums Double Dips....Okay, maybe not....LOL :)
Beth S. 😂😂😂
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I JUST WATCHED THIS MOVIE TOO! IM NOT EVEN JOKING IT WAS SUMMER OF 84 AND NOW THIS! I actually thought this movie was very superior. It is actually decent. There is really nothing to bad with it. The killer wasn't THAT shocking, but it kept me thinking. And everytime you bring up that damn slasher book you always show the burning. The final girl Katerine was actually fine. Totally agree about the kills. Very toned down. But it still looks gory and kinda cool in my Opinon. And Vicky got stabbed multiple times because Shes a b**ch in this film. All the other girls were ok. "I was born with a sliver spoon in my mouth. It's up my nose!" I WAS SCREAM CRYING! THATS HILARIOUS! I was so happy when you changed your mind about Katherine. But great review!
Kenneth Nunez Agreed. It’s a very unique slasher film. Really well produced though.
Hey Lee, have you ever seen The Stepfather? Its an 80s horror film and I'm interested in hearing your thoughts.
Jordan Hodle Not yet but I’m planning on it.
I've never had a problem with this slasher Lee. I thought it different from Friday the 13th as the killer reminded me a little of Mother from Psycho. While I didn't have problem with the remake, I still refer the original.
Yes the killer had some strong Psycho vibes. Dug that about it.
Hey I love the show have you heard the JASON GOES TO HELL 25TH ANNIVERSARY INTERVIEW WITH WRITER/ DIRECTOR ADAM MARCUS? It's on MIDNIGHTS EDGE channel it's like a podcast and he talks about how the movie was really supposed to be like he talks about how Jason's relatives had more of a back story and how he dealt with Sean Cunningham, the EVIL DEAD references the restraints he had to deal with, the CRAYTON DUKES STORY was supposed to be bigger and how he wanted to use the Tommy Jarvis character but couldn't. All in all from this interview I believe I would have loved this movie. But with what we got I thought the movie was ok but was not a huge fan. If he would have been able to make the movie talked about I'm sure we as horror fans we would have loved it. He also talks about his pitch on FREDDY vs Jason movie. He touches on some of this stuff with the CAMP CRYSTAL LAKE MEMORIES. But this is more in depth I recommend everyone to check it out.
No I haven't but Adam Marcus is a good friend. His interviews are always entertaining. Love the guy.
Oh ok then you know him so you probably know all about what he really wanted to do with the movie. But I would still check it out. I sent comments to we watch movie guys
Dave Mcrae about the interview I didn't get to cody leach though I'm going to send him one to or maybe if you like it let him know about it also. I'm really like this interview because I always thought that movie could have been better and to find out what he was going to actually do to me proves my point and it would have been so good that's why I'm so enthusiastic about it and that I'm a Friday the 13th fan helps also. So thanks for replying to me and I'm a huge Halloween fan overall the first movie came out in 1978 I was 7 years old so I had to wait a few years to see on NBC CHANNEL 4 for us I've been hooked ever since love your show PEACE.
It's similar to prom night
The remake was very enjoyable in a cheeky modern satire way. Kind of like the Black Christmas remake. I totally get why that would turn some people off tho.
Not your average Bear After watching this I’m looking forward to giving the remake another try.
thanks for spoiling it
My pleasure. When I review 30 year old movies, it’s standard practice to talk spoilers.
Hey Lee, Are you gonna check out this new horror movie called Hell Fest? It has Audrey from the SCREAM TV series in it. You should check out the trailer if you already haven't!!. 👍
Hell yeah. High on my list!
I have to get that slasher movie book I love slasher movies especially from the 1980s!!!! Can you find that book on Amazon? I'm about to watch the House on Sorority Row now!
It's such a great book.
I like 80s horror, I like the house on sorority row!
Hell yeah. 80s slashers are the best.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews 70s, 80s & 90s are best
Hey Drumdums...have you ever seen the 1982 slasher film “Slumber Party Massacre”? If you have, do you like it or think you could ever review it?
i AmMacabre Along time ago when I was a kid. I just received it on Blu-ray recently so I review is coming.
I watched it for a second time yesterday, because I couldn´t remember anything about it. Why? I don´t know exactly. It has nice kills, a cool murder weapon and it just functions perfectly well as a slasher. Perhaps it was that one movie too much back in 2009, considering the reviving trend that Scream started. And the biggest problem of the movie: no likeable characters at all! The boys are all alcohol and c..k drivin´. Not even the final girl who in the end is ok with doing nothing and burry their secret. But those cynical characters work way better in our social climate right now where you just look out for your own. Even if that means stepping or in Sorority Rows case driving over somebody. 8/10
In hope, i will remember it now.
Glad I gave it a second watch.
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews Me too. If you can get passed the initial premise and his presentation it's a welcome addition to the genre.
I actually liked the weapon of choice. The killer is using something his mother owned to avenge her death.
Agreed. That is a nice angle.
This movie wasn't great but I enjoyed it, also keep up the good work 👏
We Are NYKnicks Thank you!
The blood 🩸 is pink 😏
The remake of it is not bad...some great kills... Slumber party massaçre is another 80s gem
I have SPM...looking forward to watching/reviewing it.
first
Why don't you review the 1980 film the unseen it has one of the cast from animal house...and is a great horror film
this was good up until the ending then it just became an ending like mom and dad with nicholas cage and ruined it for me.
It is an abrupt ending for sure.
the best thing about the movie is eileen eilegend davidson ❤❤😊
Loved her!
This has nothing to do with nothing... but have you seen the new Netflix original to all the boys I've loved before?
Kenneth Nunez No not yet.
I tried and just couldn't like this movie.
At least we both know The Thing is amazing
He talks for fucking ever. The actual review starts at 2:50.
You don't like my sexy voice?!
@@DrumdumsMovieReviews 2 Notes: 1.The book thing didn't matter and could have been saved for the end. 2. Your opinion didn't really change all that much, thus making this kinda pointless. No one would have noticed that this was from 4 months earlier had you not pointed it out. Hell even the Cinema Snob will re-upload videos from years ago and just put when it was from in the video description. Lastly, whoever told you your voice is sexy, lied.
@@willowproxy4346 Ouch. Well thanks for watching anyway. Have a good one.
This video is a jumbled mess
