The Initiation of Sarah
 
Devil-worshipping sorority sisters sacrificing their pledges? Morgan Fairchild as the Alumna of All Evil? I'm so watching this movie!

ragtimerose 10-20-2006 04:27 PM

Oh, it's great!!! Shelley Winters as the witchy housemother and Morgan Fairchild as the Evil Sorority Sister. Is it out on DVD?

tunatartare 10-20-2006 04:29 PM

It premieres Sunday night on ABC Family at 8. Can't wait!

PenguinTrax 10-20-2006 04:30 PM

Yeah, it's a remake of the original B movie.

jess_pom 10-20-2006 04:42 PM

I can't wait! Plus, the girl from "Reba" is in it. I love ABCFamily movies.

DSTCHAOS 10-20-2006 04:56 PM

I just saw the commercial. It looks good.

In the 90's, many of our chapter meetings were spent sacrificing goats and chickens while chanting the lyrics to Mariah Carey songs.

Did you know that she (Joanna Garcia) is a Tri Delta?

Jill1228 10-20-2006 06:49 PM

I remember seeing the original...
I just got this week's people and was reading about it
Note to self...set the DVR

carnation 10-20-2006 07:31 PM

I liked the original but I wonder if this will be one of those movies that makes people hate Greeks.

Only idiots would use this movie to hate Greeks. There are so many more valid reasons to hate us.

I missed the movie. That sucks.

That sounds fantastic! I love campy movies with terrible acting!! :D

SigKapSweetie 10-22-2006 09:09 PM

Okay, they get their bids and then get initiated that Friday?

Best line of the movie:
(as Summer Glau puts padding in her bra)
"We have to look good tonight!"
"Why? Are we rushing the lesbian house?"

I about died laughing!

DSTCHAOS 10-22-2006 09:25 PM

I missed the first hour but this movie is okay. It has a Charmed feel and is expectedly cheesy.

SigKapSweetie 10-22-2006 10:00 PM

That was just cheesy enough to be fantastic. Summer Glau is awesome, and Morgan Fairchild was the best Alumna of All Evil ever!

DolphinChicaDDD 10-22-2006 10:02 PM

DAMN IT!!!!!!!
I FORGOT IT WAS ON TONIGHT!!!!!

i'll have to catch it in reruns.

SigKapSweetie 10-22-2006 10:06 PM

It's playing again right now, if you really want to watch.

Senusret I 10-22-2006 10:19 PM

I am watching the rerun!

sdsuchelle 10-22-2006 11:27 PM

YESSS JENNIFER TILLY. This movie is going to be awesome.

OH PS... her name is Eugenia... I'm sure my fellow ADPi's will get a kick out of that! :D

Jill1228 10-22-2006 11:34 PM

I DVRd it...gonna watch it later

adpiucf 10-22-2006 11:53 PM

Sheesh. This is why we can't use candles in the house.

Have many of my fellow Panhellenic alumnae forgotten the words to our magic spells? :)

squirrely girl 10-23-2006 12:00 AM

oh dear god did i just watch that whole thing?

Senusret I 10-23-2006 12:02 AM

This movie was great and very much like my APO experience. LOL jk

This totally felt like a pilot.

honeychile 10-23-2006 12:10 AM

Am I the only one thinking that this was a HUGE joke?

How so?

I mean, it's not Emmy material, but it was fun.

SoCalGirl 10-23-2006 02:10 AM

I love how the rival sororities have near identical initiations! :D

SoCalGirl 10-23-2006 04:07 AM

I watched the original online. http://abcfamily.go.com/broadband/index.html

Wow that was cheesy! I think I like the new one better though. :)

ragtimerose 10-23-2006 06:45 AM

The remake had this wonderful "ABC Afterschool Special" ring to it. I'm off to watch the original...

adpiucf 10-23-2006 10:09 AM

This stuff isn't really "family" television. I would never let my kids watch something like that with the knives and the fire and the blood... I guess I could out on a heretical limb and argue that they shouldn't watch The 10 Commandments, either... LOL.

I agree. There was a lot of sexual innuendo in the movie, too. My mom called me during it to say, "This is ABC Family?"

She liked the movie, though. :p She kept asking me if, since I was our president, I'd ever sacrificed any of our pledges to 'the eternal flame'. And by the way, what did you DZs think of that? :D

cutie_cat_4ever 10-23-2006 02:17 PM

I think the only reason why I liked this movie was that whole Charmed-Buffy feel to it (considering I'm a huge charmed fan :p ) and that the good girls always win, hehe :p

I missed this gem on TV. Was there Jiffy Marker fat circling? Surely there must have been?? ;)

kayla0deegee 10-23-2006 02:37 PM

GreekChat never lets me down!
 
I love it, because I knew as soon as I watched this movie that I would be able to come on here and see something about it!
Actually we are having our initiation tonight and I thought it would be so funny if we had a table with a red velvet tablecloth with two sets of handcuffs...those girls would be like screw a bunch of this.

mulattogyrl 10-23-2006 03:19 PM

It comes on again tomorrow at 8pm for those of us that missed it.

kdonline 10-23-2006 06:17 PM

I was also surprised by a few of the "PG-13" plotlines for this ABC Family production.

Was it ever explained why PED had Jennifer Tilly's character as a housemom while AN didn't have one?

But I DID love how cheesy it was.. I need to watch the original.. :)

Jill1228 10-23-2006 06:49 PM

I just finished watching the original one on abc.com

PhiMuAmberkins 10-23-2006 06:59 PM

Okay, I absolutely hate those cheesy tv movies (if you're going to make a movie, why not make a good one?) but I pushed that aside to watch this. I thought some parts were pretty good...my favorite part though would have to be Finn...so hot in that awkward kind of way! Way to "keep him safe" Sarah!

smiley21 10-23-2006 08:52 PM

I am watching it now online. I just love the workout room scene where the sister is talking to the guy that likes her. Behind them is a vending machine and all of the snacks are turned around so you cannot see the brand names. lol. Just say 'no' to product placement. :p
