High Weirdness From Pioneer Square, Seattle
lydiagaebe-169-19716910 February 2017
This is director/writer Antony DeGennero's second filmmaking venture and like his previous project, "Natural Possession," his flare for campy high weirdness is creepily good. If you have a taste for campy weirdness, this little film is great. His use of color and lighting is well done, with red, smokey light predominating. The story is pretty straight forward for a comedy- horror film, with witches and demons as main characters. The film does have a technical problem with the dialog syncing with the actors' "chin flaps." Oh, there is some nudity and gore, but it's not very graphic and minimal. So if you're looking for some goofy and campy entertainment for a rainy and cold night, order a pizza and pop a bowl of popcorn and have fun viewing "Sisterhood of Death."

Awful
jerrybri16 July 2017
I saw a lot of positive reviews and so I was suckered into wasting time by watching this amateurish (in a bad way) film that appears to have benefited from being reviewed by friends and family. Since I wasted time watching a very bad film, the least I can do is spend some time letting others know that behind all of the shill 5 star ratings, this is a crap ambush.

You know what made films like this work in the 70s?

You know what made films like this work in the 70s? Nudity. And a lot of it. That's why this doesn't work and films like this don't work. I guess they like the campy parts of classic cult cinema yet for whatever reason these Indy film makers want to remake them and not show much nudity. The most we see here is some side boob and it's just unwatchable. This would be rated PG in the 70s. Grow some balls and make a film with guts. Ever heard of Pink Flamingos, Satans Cheerleaders or Desperate Living? Ring a bell!? Let's see more that and less of this boring crap.

Campy witchcraft horror
Leofwine_draca15 March 2017
Warning: Spoilers
SISTERHOOD OF DEATH is a weird little comedy horror movie made on a non-existent budget. The story begins when this overweight jogger goes out for a run in the woods and ends up encountering a trio of lovely witches who immediately set their sights on him. What follows is a bizarre tale of black magic, infatuation, and random incident.

This film has a campy tone which works well because the action is staged so cheaply that you wouldn't be able to take it seriously had it been played straight. The humour really isn't very funny and a lot of the performances are dire, but what surprised me was the quality of the acting from the three witches themselves. They're certainly sexy ladies, and the actress playing Jessica, Ivey Bronwen, is actually pretty convincing in the part, making for a sympathetic character. The psychological twist ending is pretty well conceived too, which at least gives the viewer something of interest to watch.

Just because you can edit
johnlinda-allen24 March 2020
Just because you can edit, doesn't mean you should edit. The plot holes and bad editing I give this 1 star

A wonderfully funny film
craigahrens10 September 2019
It's hard in my opinion to pull off a good horror comedy film. They typically are a complete train wreck. Well I'm glad to say this solid indie film was able to pull it off. This is film is so much fun. I loved the cast. I thought they all did a terrific job. Also, the film didn't drag. It held my attention from beginning to end. This film doesn't take itself seriously, in a good way, and for me that is why this film works so well! Bravo to the crew that put this little gem together!

Quite a lot of fun!
debijohess5 September 2019
Fun and campy new indie movie that is full of comedic horror. Done just right with touches of scary and over the top humor. Witches and demons were never so much fun! High production value as well round out this entertaining flick.

SISTERHOOD OF DEATH is a super-fun old-school campy horror-comedy that was very entertaining.
ryanbartongrimley6 January 2018
SISTERHOOD OF DEATH is a super-fun old-school campy horror-comedy that was very entertaining. It totally reminded me of all the VHS eighties horror flicks I'd rent every summer and I was filled with nostalgia for those times watching it. Sure it's low-budget, but the filmmakers make the best of it and you get sucked right in. Heck there's even some nudity which every great campy horror-comedy has. The color and lighting, which another reviewer mentioned, is also really creative and well done. Plus there's witches, monsters, and gore! I mean what else do you need? If you're looking for a fun flick to watch on a Saturday night with fellow horror-comedy buffs, do yourself a favor and sit down with a beer and watch SISTERHOOD OF DEATH!

Back into the 80s! :)
jblockbuster11 September 2019
Sisterhood of Death is an old school low budget indie horror comedy. If you miss those 80s horror flicks you have to watch this! Obviously it might not for everyone, but I really enjoyed the film. It's goofy, campy and best watched with a group of likeminded friends :)

A bloody good romp!
Anmer9331 August 2019
This is a bloody good romp! I love independent horrors and this was a joy to watch. You could tell everyone involved was having a great time and the passion and love of the genre shows. This also had some impressively trippy visuals which I wasn't expecting. Gets the mates over, crack some beers and your in for a good time.

Wonderful And Funny Horror Film
TheAll-SeeingI3 September 2019
The intersection of horror and comedic satire can be a pretty great place to hang out for ninety minutes, and that's exactly where we find ourselves in the surprising and exquisite "Sisterhood of Death."

It seems Grandma has passed down a book of incantations to willing granddaughter Jessica, who then pulls co-conspirators Rachel and Alice into her sorority of the macabre. These pseudo-sisters comprise The Sisterhood Of Death, and it turns out the organization is aptly-named, as soon the young ladies begin enticing men into their otherworldly traps before offering evil spirits their newly-sourced man flesh in exchange for upgrades in supernatural strength. There's an "until..." coming, of course, and when it does, it makes for a great takeoff point in this cunning and engrossing spin on the monster movie vehicle.

It's the substantial humor here which really differentiates Sisterhood Of Death as a unique and refreshing film. It knowingly cloaks itself in the finer elements of art house and b-movie moviemaking, but what it ultimately delivers is a terrific and funny horror movie that in many ways is its very own thing.

Fun Indie/Horror Comedy
JGReviews13 September 2019
Sisterhood of Death is a fun indie horror/comedy from director Antony De Gennaro. The film combines camp, witchcraft, and a bit of sex appeal for a unique blend. This is the type of film for those who enjoy a good over the top horror film that doesn't hold back with its performances and plot. I really enjoy these kinds of films since it's a lot of fun to be able to laugh and enjoy my favorite genre of horror at the same time. If you're the same, I'd recommend you check out Sisterhood of Death.
