Sorority Row played to poor reviews. • Jonathan Perry wrote in the Boston Globe, "The 'scary'’ moments are of the sneak-up-on-you-from-behind variety... apparently no one throws a light switch or gets smoke inhalation in a burning house anymore." • And Kevin Thomas wrote in the Los Angeles Times, "...unleashes an avalanche of kinetically staged chaos but the effect is a glum turnoff."
