Or better yet, since it was such a disappointment -as all fourth movies in a series are- they could not make any more sequels and let this tired series die.

You got 4 movies out of a 1 movie idea. Take what you got and run, MWG. There's no need to drag this on any longer.

One thing I loved in this movie is that it has the funniest and the most ironic death scene in the whole series! I really loved that sequence.

If H-Wood is dumb enough to make more movies out fo these series, they need to go to straight to DVD, where all the sequels should have gone in the first place.

Ya know, I just saw the commercial for Sorority Row again, and I really think these movies are only getting worse and worse and worse. They seem to be trying to take the element of scary out of horror movies.

I wasn't planning on seeing that movie in theaters. The first thing that popped into my head while watching the previews was "I Know What You Did Last Summer"! But silly me, it's actually a remake of "The House on Sorority Row," which was released in 1983.

However, I saw the preview again and again before movies in theaters and it started to grow on me. Some parts of the trailer actually scared me! Now I might actually go watch it in theaters! Not only that but the first two reviews online are actually HIGHLY POSITIVE! One is from a blooger, which I know you guys won't care of but the other is from Fangoria, http://www.fangoria.com/reviews/2-film/3808-sorority-row-fil m-review.html. Twitter updates also show that people liked the movie a lot. Now if this praise continues, I will watch it in theaters.

Ah, two highly positive online reviews for "I Know What You Did Last Summer Part 4", er, I mean "Sorority Row", that can mean only one thing ... the next 100 reviews will all be negative. That seems to be the pattern.

The suspicion here is that these guys have become so completely clueless about how to draw the appropriate reactions out of their audience they can't even take their own work seriously anymore and now they are just doing stupid self-parodies.

Maybe they all ought to take a year off and go back and watch some of the classic genre pieces from the past (i.e pre original Halloween et al)...they could all learn that when it comes to envoking fear in the audience, less is more. We can all scare ourselves worse than anything they put on the screen with a simple suggestion rather than a graphic representation. They have succeeded in desensitizing their audiences to the point that all shock value is gone. Maybe it's time to take a good step backward.

Lest anyone forget, the scariest moments in the classic movie Jaws all occured before we saw Bruce. There was practically no graphic gore in that movie...only the suggestion of it.

The problem is that they're still drawing people into the theaters. People apparently don't want to actually be "scared" they just like the idea of surreal violence.
MWG, if you're "scared" by this, especially considering all the horror movies you claim to see, you're a liar, or one of the world's biggest p...wussies of all time. And I'm not trying to be a dick about this, but there is no way you can possibly think that there's anything in this movie that you haven't seen before.
Horror movies today are turning into episodes of The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers... a slightly different plot, with the exact same conclusion each and every time.
I'll give credit to your Orphan fixation - at least it's not another 1 star slasher crapfest. Or another nothin-doin' haunting.

Exactly! And that is why I have no respect for modern day horror movies or their fans.

You're kind of a hypocrite. You say you hate modern horror movies because they have only violence yet you bash on Orphan, a movie which clearly relies on suspense and build-ups to make the audience get in the edge of their seats. Another horror movie that doesn't rely on violence is The Strangers. I didn't like the movie at all but that film uses atmosphere and barely show any blood. If there is violence, they usually show it off screen.

To be fair, Fangoria gave both H2 and TFD negative reviews and the first review on RT is also positive, from Empire. I think we can all agree it will do better with the critics than most horror movies.

Ok. I worded it the wrong way. I JUMPED during the trailer.

Really?... Seriously?... You're kidding me, right?...
Are you sure you're a dude, dude? SR is a chick horror movie... For chicks, that is, not just because it stars them.
