Soft-core porn without the skin
emdoub17 September 2005
Pretty.

Pretty actresses and actors. Pretty bad script. Pretty frequent "let's strip to our undies" scenes. Pretty fair F/X. Pretty jarring location decisions (the college dorm room looks like a high-end hotel room - probably because it was shot at a hotel). Pretty bland storyline. Pretty awful dialog. Pretty locations. Pretty annoying editing, unless you like the music video flash-cut style.

This one isn't a guilty pleasure - this is more an embarrassing one. If you must watch this, pick a good dance/techno album and turn the sound off on the movie - you'll see the pretty people in their pretty black undies, and probably follow the story just fine.

The cast may be able to act - I doubt that anyone could look skilled given the lines/plot that they had to deal with.

Put the DVD down and back away slowly, you have been warned

OK if you are looking for a fun lesbian romp. This is NOT the movie If you are looking for a fun movie with hot sociopathic characters (in the vane of 'cruel intentions' or 'wild things') This is NOT the movie if you are looking for a classic vampire lesbian seductress's movie. This is NOT the movie.

However if you are looking to wast an hour of your life, this is your movie. It is badly written, badly directed,badly scored, badly filmed.It had bad special effects...i mean really bad special effects. I think that you can actually generate the same special effects in imovie lol.

IT REALLY IS A PRETTY BAD MOVIE.

The actors were classic starlet beauties however look more like porn stars. it is shot like a soft core porn however you never get the money shot and the actors all look bored out of their brains. the 'girl on girl' scenes, which suck btw, were so LAME that there hardly worth mentioning. go watch the 'almost sex scenes' on youtube cos that's the only reason you would want to watch this movie and even there not worth it.

A WAST OF MONEY AND TIME!!! don't even pick it up, go watch 'Cruel intentions 2' instead - same movie without the bad special effects, bad storyline,bad writing,bad dialog and bad acting. actually i might go watch it now just to purge my mind

Another filmmaker that doesn't know his audience
jfgibson7326 September 2010
Warning: Spoilers
Who is the movie made for? It appears to be a soft-core erotic thriller, with young girls, bad acting, and a ridiculous story. Except that within those parameters, the movie is so chaste and simplistic, it feels like something the Disney Channel might have done.

It is about a girl who gets caught up into a world of power and deceit when she joins an exclusive sorority. She eventually learns they are evil vampires and uses her psychic powers to destroy their leader. One of the more ridiculous subplots involves the male lead who goes from saving his virginity for marriage to walking around campus with sunglasses and his shirt open (an outward expression of how he has been corrupted). Like I say, it plays more like something from the original 90210 series than a movie that would play on late night cable.

So the level of sophistication in the writing feels like it was targeted at preteens, but the movie includes scenes lengthy lesbian make-out scenes. So who was it made for?

Insultingly bad.
capkronos26 August 2005
Warning: Spoilers
DeCoteau has to be one of the worst "directors" working today in any genre, and it has nothing to do with his movies usually containing homoerotism and having guys run around in their matching boxer briefs. Remember... anyone in tight black underwear is satanic and evil and want to suck out your blood/soul... such deep symbolism here). I just sat through The Sisterhood to give him his fair shakes, I try to watch every horror movie I can and this one had Barbara (FROM BEYOND, RE-ANIMATOR) Crampton in it (I had previously been sucked in to the world of DeCoteau thanks to Linnea Quigley, Adrienne Barbeau and several other actresses I like).

Lemme tell you what about The Sisterhood... Like the other reviewer pointed out, the supposed plot involves lesbian vampires on a college campus. But never has a parade of hot young babes ("actresses" if you want) running around dressed in bras, panties and bikinis been so boring. The movie has no plot, no gore, no nudity and the dialog is ridiculous and seems like they made it up as they go along. Parts are put in slow-motion and repeated many times to push the running time up. About ten minutes of this one consists of characters just walking around on campus (oh, the excitement!) that looks more like a hotel resort than any college I've ever been to. And the acting is the absolute worst. The only thing these girls do well is lean forward and bend over to show off their bodies. The cast were so devoid of talent that I'd be shocked to see any of them get a one-day walk-on role on Passions in the future. Ditto for the guys. Yeah DeCoteau squeezed more hot guys in underwear in this one, too... Guys who should be in some K-Mart brochure instead of trying to act. Do these people actually have to audition or just show up in Dave's office and take their clothes off? I think the answer is obvious.

I am willing to give any movie a chance if 1.) it's intelligently written, well directed, original and competently acted (or hell, even ambitious and stylish)... Or 2.) it is chock full of gore, nudity, assorted trashiness and/or it's unintentionally hilarious. David DeCoteau's movies deliver NONE of that and they do it on better-than-usual production values for direct-to-video flicks. What a waste! So what is the appeal, especially with the advent of porn of the soft- and hard-core variety that's easily accessible to anyone with a computer? I simply cannot answer that.

DeCoteau is a gay horror director and could use his resources to put a unique spin on the genre. Instead, he produces mind-numbing drivel without an ounce of talent or intelligence shining through. Ironically, when you think about it, his films are anything BUT pro-gay. They actually make homosexuality seem seedy, secretive and sinister. The obviously gay characters in his films are always trying to corrupt, seduce and/or kill off the innocent, sexually-confused leads. There's no shading here to make things interesting. The protagonists are naive and seldom prove themselves to be strong, assertive or confident in who they are. I would understand this plotting if Jerry Falwell, Fred Phelps or Dr. Laura starting making direct-to-video horror films, but from a gay director, it just goes to show that he puts almost no thought into these beefcake cheese-fests.

Lesbian vampire sorority meets psychic pledge
amberbaer1 July 2005
Warning: Spoilers
I don't honestly know what legal or illegal substance they - the writers - were on when the wrote this horrid piece of tripe!

The cast - sucks The plot - sucks The editing - sucks The whole premise of the movie is that a girl with psychic/telekinetic powers comes across a lesbian vampire sorority, you just have to be totally out of your head to watch even 1 minute of this.

The only reason I had to watch it - it was on the here! network as part of a two-picture purchase and the movie that came on after it was the real one that I wanted to see. I fast forwarded through the whole thing and was just amazed how stupid this movie was in double speed!

Do not rent, buy, or watch this movie....the vampires in the movie don't suck as much as the overall movie and production does!

If you want a good lesbian vampire movie - The Hunger with David Bowie, Susan Sarandon & Katharine Deneuve - excellent movie to watch/own/rent in place of this piece of pure sh*t

Awful.
rebecca_chick6227 August 2007
This was made in 2004 for gods sake, what happened to our state of the art special effects? What happened to our rough around the edges but still good actors? The actors in this movie were unbelievably horrible, there was one or two that weren't bad, but the rest, biggg thumbs down. Couldn't stand listening to the badly written dialogue, I mean, who the heck wrote that script? Please don't ever write again! Special effects? Don't even get me started on the special effects. SURELY they could have come up with better then fully fake looking green balls of light in the eye sockets. It looks so old and..lame frankly.! Even the easiest thing to make look real..the teeth, THEY looked so fake and stupid I would almost wipe a tear from my eye in annoyance. Come onnnn I cant believe this was even shown to the public.!

A highly disappointing movie
lizzzzzzzz29 January 2006
Warning: Spoilers
I wasn't expecting "Citizen Kane" but I was hoping for some extreme guilty pleasure! The script is bad, but the school exterior shots were obviously done with the same 5 extras on the same day & the dorm exterior shots were easily shot during a hurricane.

The wardrobe was swapped around so much, I hoped the wardrobe mistress had some good strong soap to wash the panties. I know the budget's time but do you think they could have bought a couple of DIFFERENT styles of underwear? What oversexed up vampiric hot chick would wear boy-leg panties under latex trousers? I was relieved to see one appearance of thong in the penultimate scene.

Good points: the actors were all *very* attractive, and the girls had natural boobs. Too bad they never took the bras off.

The special effects were neither effective and could only be describes as special, if they rode the short bus to the edit bay. The final scene in particular is horrifically, laughably bad.

If you value your IQ, do not subject yourself to it.
bug761 May 2011
My sister knows of my love of vampire movies and novels. She asked me to watch "The Sisterhood". Come to find out later, she did it as a joke. I knew I had just lost over an hour of my life for nothing. I've never seen a more mind numbing movie in my life. What were they thinking? The actors were completely atrocious. They sounded more like they were reading cue cards(and badly) than talking from memory. Most of the movie was girl-on-girl action and touching themselves when no one else was around. Tasteless. Cheap, extremely cheap, special effects. Lame script. No plot(was it even really about vampires?) Crappy location. Were these people hired because they agreed to take their clothes off? I can't help but recall a quote when I watched this. "It just goes to show you, you don't have to have brains to make it in showbiz". And this film proved that theory. If I could have given this movie lower than a 0, I would've. I can't even tell you exactly what it was about. By watching this, I could physically feel my IQ points drop. Fortunately, I picked up a classic novel and begin to reload my brain back to full capacity. So, if you value your intelligence, don't even touch the case that the movie comes in. If you do watch it and feel yourself becoming dumber, don't say I didn't warn you. Pick up a Shakespeare novel or watch "The Gummi Bears". At least you'll learn something.

What do you expect??
Jim Sgambaty6 December 2005
The Sisterhood" was lame, stupid, sleazy....in a PG-13 kind of way, and poorly acted by most (not all) of the supporting cast....I will give Barbara Crampton a big break here! What do expect from director David DeCoteau?? Like Schlock and shock King William Castle of the 1950's and 60's, David has managed to become the King of today's B grade horror films. There is an "art" to making terribly bad movies that are actually fun, interesting, and entertaining. David always manages to capture this on film. On a positive note, I really liked Joe Silva's tech-no dance beat score, especially during the hot erotic opening sequence and ending credit roll. I compare his movies to that of a train wreck......so horrible, yet it is hard to take your eyes off it!! 5 out 10

I'm not sure
tattootiger-chocolate27 August 2011
Warning: Spoilers
I really do not understand how I managed to watch that whole film.

I am dumbfounded over why anyone thought that this script was a good idea.

The star of the show barely said anything through out the whole film, and thank god for that because she couldn't act anyways. The special effects in this film were not good, at all. They are only to be laughed at. The storyline would've been good, but it was not worked on. There was too much of the badly written script and half naked girls for anyone to notice that it would have been good.

Just don't watch it, for your own sake. If you're looking for a hot lesbian vampire movie, this film is not it.

Boring Sensory Overload
icocleric12 January 2024
I was really surprised to find out it was made in 2004, because the quality looked so bad. I honestly thought it came from the early 90s. Including some of the effects.

Boring sensory overload might seem contradicting, however this managed it with so many strobes, and terrible music. The strobes were even during the day, like what!?? Then there is no plot, terrible lines, and a lot of scenes in dire need of editing because they add nothing to the film.

The dialogue is awkward. And the plot lacked so much, and there were so much filler, that getting this review up to the word count is actually quite difficult.
