The Telling (2009)

- written September 22nd, 2010

Summary: In this horror anthology film, three girls pledge the most popular - and cruelest - sorority on campus. For their final task, they must tell the scariest story they know. Containing three distinct stories - one featuring a murderous doll, one a has-been actress and her run in with a film crew of the undead and, finally, a hunt-and-kill fright-fest. The tales inspire someone at the sorority to commit their own murders.           Overall: So this is the final result of the apparently never ending question: “What if Playboy Playmates made a horror film?” We’ve sent the Suicide Girls make one and now the Playmates have as well!           It’s a very slow film that is all about the little horrific episodes that the girls tell as part of their pledging into the best sorority on campus. My first problem was that Holly Madison just isn’t that young anymore. But on top of that, the stories were just ok. Don’t go into the film expecting that just because some o the ladies go nude for the magazine, they’ll do it for the film. Not the case at all. Very little nudity here and frankly the stories don’t do enough to keep you otherwise interested without it.           Comparison: Suicide Girls must Die meets House on Sorority Row
