01
The House on Sorority Row
Why this pick
Like Final Exam, this is a lean early-’80s campus slasher built around isolated students, an unseen killer, and steadily mounting dread rather than elaborate mythology.

Rush Week

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
One night at March College, a young couple is making out in a parked vehicle; the girl rejects the boyfriend's advances, but he pressures her anyways. An unseen assailant harasses the couple, before slicing through the roof of the vehicle and pulling the boy out of the driver's seat. He murders him with a kitchen knife, as the girl screams in horror and is murdered off-camera.
