Delta Delta Die!

June 4, 2005

Rated: R Runtime: 83 min Rating: 3 out of 5 stars

Delta Delta Die! is about a sorority on a college campus, Delta Delta Pi. The sorority is best known for its famous “meat pies” that it sells at fundraisers. But there have been rumors around campus that guys who enter the sorority house never leave. And what kind of meat is in those pies?

From this description, you might think that Delta Delta Die! has all the ingredients to be an instant B-Movie classic. A cannibalistic cult posing as a college sorority. Scream Queen legend Brinke Stevens and the constantly naked Julie Strain. Former Super-Tromette Tiffany Shepis and three other hot young babes. And all the technical aspects, specifically lighting and sound were above average. So why isn’t this a five star movie?

I think the main problem is that the movie drags in too many places. The dialogue is incredibly banal in places. For example, one character repeats a phone number to another character to make sure she has it correct. In real life, that’s fine. But in a movie about cannibal sorority girls? Unacceptable! And Brinke Stevens LEAPS on the sorority girls when attacking them, but that’s it. No catfight. A movie like this is supposed to have catfights! We finally get a Strain/Stevens catfight near the end of the movie, but at that point it’s too little, too late.

Julie Strain does a pretty good job of acting in this one, but Brinke Stevens totally phones in her performance. I’m a fan Tiffany Shepis’s work on Troma’s Edge TV, and I really enjoyed her performance. Her basement striptease is a classic scene.

While there are some very funny and inspired moments, Delta Delta Die! has too many things going for it to be this… average. It’s definitely worth a rental. If you can find a cheap copy somewhere, it’s worth buying for Shepis’s nude scene.
