1313: Haunted Frat

By: Vince Austin-Cole
In-House Review - Feb 01 2012

This is the third installment of the 1313 cult horror film series directed by David DeCoteau. There is not much clothing to obstruct your view of these boys' bodies, although there isn't any nudity to speak of and the dialogue is kept at an absolute minimum. The only talking that happens in this pseudo-thriller is the uncovering of an explanation for why this massive, multiple room mansion (posing as a frat-house in a tropic environment) is haunted by a slinky, dark-haired vixen who doesn't do anymore than surround our hotties with her aura before she zombifies each and every one of them - luring them into "the darkness" of afterlife. Although our male lead (Freddie Roy) is cast in the geeky role (a researcher writing about the origins of the frat house), he wears it well. He is versatile in his appearance (ruffled from a morning nightmare and showered without soap). Did I mention that his frat house research is done with a mere legal pad? No computer or books to backup the information he's ready to report.

All-in-all, it's not great cinema, but you can certainly make these frat hotties a part of your "boy-candy" collection.

Weak, weak, weak. Horror??? are you kidding me? Cute guys but that doesn't make a movie. Who thinks this crap up? Horrible movie and a total waste of money. As another reviewer said they certainly could have done this movie in 20 min if they didn't keep repeating the same shots over and over and over again to the point where it was annoying. The opening scene took so long with the guy roaming around the entire house ( in his dream ), I was beginning to think the house was for sale and they were giving us the video tour.
I've not seen any of the the other 1313 movies and after watching this one, I never will. If you THINK you have to see this dvd, believe me you don't. Buy a magazine with pictures. You'll enjoy yourself a whole lot more! Did I mention this movie sucked. Hated it.

Since becoming a horror fan, I've always gotten a kick out of 'haunted house' movies, which tend to deliver on the suspense, the mystery and the chills while sparing the nasty gore and the 'torture porn' vulgarity. At the same time, as a female viewer I've never been too impressed by the haunted sorority house subgenre; yep, for some reason I as a gal have never derived much benefit from seeing other women take excessive showers and run through the woods in ridiculously high heels before being hacked unceremoniously to pieces....
That's why I found the movie "1313: Haunted Frat" to be not only refreshing-but downright hot! For once we get to see gorgeous young college MEN taking showers, swimming, working out and sun bathing as a strong female presence follows their every move, haunting their fraternity house (which was apparently built over the ruins of an old insane asylum) and taking control of their lives.
Under the hand of veteran horror director David DeCoteau, "1313: Haunted Frat" delivers on the essentials of a great haunted house flick. You get the jump scares, the extended scenes of tension-building suspense and the humor-I was cracking up at the 'hot nerd' who kept walking around the house, trying-unsuccessfully--to get the other dudes to help him out with a written history of their frat; only to find that they would much rather take showers, work out and off the effects of an eventful party the night before!
You also get a number of pleasant surprises not typically associated with this genre, like a beautiful tropical setting, a beautifully decorated house, a powerful (and fully dressed, thank you) female villain...oh, and did I mention all the hot guys in their underwear?
For a tasteful and very sexy 'haunted house' movie that doesn't skimp on the suspense, I'd really recommend 1313: Haunted Frat. It's about time!

If you like 10 minutes of movie stretched in to 75 minutes of repeated scenes over and over and over of eye candy with NO body hair at all and very trimmed armpit hair, acting like they are in a or maybe not even acting at all, in 1960 full size white briefs with tiny bulges, if any, rubbing their chest & arms (that's all) or 'showering' for 10 minutes with water & no soap complete with scene after repeated scene moving the water over their chest & arms, some female there then gone then there then gone, touching them erotically, but causing absolutely NO effect on the guys, shot in the same mansion as every other 1313: movie, poor editing with one guy sitting on sofa with legs crossed, then not crossed, then crossed, then not crossed in split second scene changes, THEN THIS IS ANOTHER DAVID DeCOTEAU MOVIE JUST FOR YOU.

I am sure THE 'Edgar Allan Poe' had nothing to do with this movie, contrary to the 'credits' given here, but NOT on the DVD.

Should have saved my money, I have magazines with hotter photos that this.

This was the most boring movie I've ever seen, next to the movie "1313: Killer Bees!" The film is poorly directed, has a very weak plot, and is repetitious to the extreme. The entire film could easily be done in 15 to 20 minutes instead of 75 minutes if it didn't drag out so many scenes by repeating the same shots over and over again. Cute boys in tighty whities goes just so far before one starts falling watching them run their hands over their own bodies.
