10 Best Slasher Horror Movie Remakes Of All Time

10. Sorority Row (2009)

A remake based on The House On Sorority Row (1982), which told the story of a group of sorority sisters whose prank on the owner of the house they live in goes horribly wrong, when she ends up dead. The girls decide to hide the body and cover up the disaster, only to be stalked and killed at their graduation party by someone who knows their secret.

Sorority Row (2009) was directed by Stewart Hendler (Whisper), and expands on the premise of the original with a new backstory and prank gone wrong that ends the same way, before time jumping eight months to the blood bath graduation party. The movie clearly takes influence from I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997), although that film itself undoubtedly owes a lot to The House On Sorority Row. The nineties slasher influence of the Scream franchise is also prominent, with the killer dressed in a hooded black graduation robe, looking similar to the iconic Ghostface.

There is a trashy blend of the eighties and nineties eras to the movie, which unashamedly throws every sorority house cliché you can think of at the viewer. With plenty of sexual undertones, some pretty gruesome kills, and a whodunnit vibe to the narrative that keeps you wondering who or what the killer is through to the reveal of the final act, this all combines to make Sorority Row an enjoyable modern ‘popcorn slasher’.
