Sisters of Death
During an all-girl secret society initiation, one of the new members is killed playing Russian Roulette. Many years later the survivors are invited for a reunion to a lavish estate, which turns out to be owned by the crazed father of the girl who died.
Why it matters
A late ’70s cult hybrid of occult sorority thriller and slasher that captures the era’s fascination with secret societies and slow-burning dread.
- Early example of women-led horror blending witchy mystique with grindhouse grit.
- Atmospheric SoCal estate setting amps isolation and paranoia without leaning on gore.
- Uneven pacing and murky plot won’t satisfy everyone, but fans of proto-slasher curiosities will find charm in its rough edges.
- A snapshot of how occult obsessions and “Ten Little Indians” style revenge tales intersected before the slasher boom.
