Review:
Frat House Massacre is really two films. The first part is the tale of one fraternity you’d never want to rush…because nearly all the pledges don’t make it past for the first night of hazing. Instead, after being beaten, painted, tarred, feathered, humiliated and kicked in the nuts a few times they are subsequently dispatched.
But somewhere along the way, the film no longer follows the exploits of these crazy, drugged out frat boys and delves into a serial killer flick where someone is giving back to the frat house what they have been giving.
The body count is high as we have an entire frat house to go through and a slew of random chicks that seem to take part in not only the hazing but the killing of the dudes that don’t cut the mustard as fraternity members. There are some pretty grisly deaths with knives being put through mouths, axes to the throat, syringes used as weapons of death and more.
But there is much more…throughout the course of Frat House Massacre we get the smoke of death, Greek Fight Club, random catfight on campus, drug-dealing co-eds, some serious gay overtones that never get established (thankfully), along those same lines way too many dudes with their shirts off, a serious lack of respect for women throughout the film, along those same lines a host of chicks that are evil or extremely dumb or both, an over protective and paranoid black lady guardian, random disco dancing complete with an afro’d DJ, neon lights of doom, tin foil of doom, lots of sharp instruments to the face, an out of place threesome and the inability to drive a manual transmission.
Just a bit more about the way the women are treated in the film…it is actually rather amazing because usually slasher films shy away from the domestic abuse angle, or the rape angle, or the chick getting pissed on angle. But not Frat House Massacre where it is done in spades just as a tool to show just how dastardly the frat boys are. Unfortunately, while shocking, it does nothing more than give you an uncomfortable feeling that you’d rather be seeing them getting chopped up than pissed on.
Still, there is enough blood and brutality with so many people being killed that it will appeal to those looking for something to watch on a Friday night.
