Frat House

Frat House (1979)

** 1/2 (out of 4)

I Phelta Thi fraternity is the most popular around and the guys there are constantly scoring with each new lady they meet.

FRAT HOUSE has very little plot but it's clear that writer/director Sven Conrad was influenced by the various "college" films that were made after NATIONAL LAMPOON'S ANIMAL HOUSE. This film has a few winks to not only that movie but quite a few others including a small bit aimed at A CLOCKWORK ORANGE of all things.

I actually thought this was a rather well-made film that had some nice cinematography as well as some good editing. You could tell that there was actually a lot of thought that went into the sex scenes and they weren't just a bunch of bump and grind scenes but instead they were actually shot extremely well and there was an actual flow to the editing.

I thought the female performers in the film were a lot of fun and especially Lisa De Leeuw as the rather busty gal. FRAT HOUSE had one major problem and that's the fact that it is a comedy and there just weren't any laughs. I was really disappointed because I had heard this film contained a lot of laughs but they just weren't there for me and in all honesty there really wasn't much of a plot either.
