Die Die Delta Pi (2013)

Good start, but then it gets ruined

Fantastic!

The first must-see film of the year.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

This is a low budget slasher (not choppy outdoor sound) .It follows the classic formula of showing us an incident in the past and then bring us to the present. The identity of the killer is not well hidden. I liked the 80's opening with everything being glow in the dark type stuff. When we move to the present,things get a little lame. The high point of the film appears to be the spanking of the twins during the hazing, based on the most popular reproduced photo still. The modern times was not well constructed as it appear they copied another film when they should have done something on their own. The ending was anti-climatic which downgraded the whole film.My recommendation would be to watch "Delta Delta Die" instead and do your own spanking. If you have already seen it, watch the extras.Guide: F-bomb, FF nudity

Awful, charmless, amateur, inane, lousy, inept, tedious, failure. But other than that, great stuff.The attempt at nostalgia for 1980s horror films is a total failure here. The dialogue, especially, is laughably lame. It's like someone watched a bunch of clichéd 1980s parodies and lifted words out of that. Whatever charm those old films had is completely absent here. Yes, it's a very low budget attempt at a movie. And I suppose the effects should be consider "okay" given that, but "low budget" is not a valid excuse for a movie being so bad. If you can't make a movie and make it right, then don't make it at all.At least it's short!

The mid eighties, a killer is on the lose and a sorority initiation involving silly-string goes wrong burning a girl to death. Cut to present day and the murders start again...Directors Sean Donohue and Christopher Leto offer a love letter of sorts to the Slumber Party series and endless high-school massacre slasher films. Die Die Delta PI's eye catching cover art harks back to the 70s and early 80s hay days of slasher flicks. If choppy indie low budget slasher films float your boat this is for you. Donohue's story is another revenge slasher flick with a shock ending that you really don't need me to tell you about. Let's put some of the acting, continuity, sound and lighting design to one side for a moment, everyone are certainly trying their hardest. Opening in spring 1986 then shifting to present day it tries to equal its peers with the slasher sub- genre perfect ingredients: 1. A high body count and 2: Nudity (Roxy Vandiver fans will be pleased). However, due to its execution and budget restraints it never reaches the highs of the films it emulates. That said, it's packed with gratuitous T & A, paddle spanking, bikinis and plenty of fake claret as a hooded figure picks off (the varying acting talents of) the characters one by one. The cast include Christine Bell, Olivia Blake as Marissa Chambers and the talents of Keisha Burchard and Madison Conradis to name a few. Some of the actors deliver writer Arturo Portillo's lines better than others. The clever casting of the 80s actors to there present day counterparts deserve a mention, actors Donna Parker and Bianca Allaine spring to mind, Shade Burnett's Katherine Jordan and Marcus Koch's inventive effects are notable.While Donohue and Leto's offering is very rough around the edges, keep telling yourself this is a very low budget horror, there's some good editing, plenty of bras, boobs and blood. Probably best viewed with a lot of alcohol and a group of friends until the cops turn up just like in the film.

This film is a throwback to the 80's plain & simple. Well done. Marcus Koch's gore & blood effects were nicely done. Good kill scenes and such made the movie stand out. Filmed around the Tampa Bay Florida area & does have a low budget but done the right way. Shade Burnett stands out as a great part of the film. The cover art for the film is retro looking & really cool. Some female nudity which is always a plus in a slasher film. I recommend this film to any horror or slasher film fan. The director and writer set out to make a sorority slasher film and they were successful. Nothing new to speak of in this film as it's been done over & over but for someone like myself that loves this style of film I never get tired of it. My cast signed DVD is part of my slasher collection & I will watch it many times again in the years to come. Go out and get it and support independent cinema.
