Strange but it's got something
2 October 2009
During a sorority initiation ceremony a girl is accidentally killed. Seven years later, the girls who took part in this event are individually invited to attend a gathering at a remote mansion. It subsequently transpires that they have been brought together by the father of the dead girl, who is seeking retribution. Then a series of murders begin to be carried out by an unknown assassin.

Sisters of Death is a pretty odd-ball thriller. The premise is fairly standard stuff but the execution is kind of lo-fi, meaning there isn't always a lot of suspense generated. But it does have some atmosphere and overall strangeness which does give it something. The story only sort of makes sense to be fair - you would think that the group would be able to do more to escape their predicament. But there's no point in really complaining about such trifling matters too much. But one thing that could certainly have been added to improve the film though would have been some actual on-screen murders. Until the final showdown, we don't really see much at all.

But perhaps the best thing about this was the ending. And I do not mean this as a cheap gag. No, the ending was a little bit surprising. Although if you think too much about it, I'm not sure if it really entirely makes sense going by what's gone before. But I'll leave you to be the judge of that for yourself. Still, whatever the case, this one has got that 70's vibe that cuts a lot of slack.
