_**A Tale of Two Sororities with telekinesis and a dab of the occult**_ Two loving sisters, one beautiful & popular and the other adopted & withdrawn (Morgan Brittany & Kay Lenz), start college in SoCal where the former is accepted by an uppity sorority while the latter joins a sorority of outcasts. Havoc ensues. Costars include: Morgan Fairchild, Shelley Winters, Tony Bill and Robert Hays. "The Initiation of Sarah" (1978) is a television knockoff of “Carrie” (1976) mixed with “Satan’s School for Girls” (1973). While not on the level of the former, it’s superior to the latter because it’s dramatically weightier, plus you can’t beat the notable cast (this was before Fairchild and Brittany shot to fame). It was remade in 2006 with Morgan Fairchild returning as the mother of the two sisters, Mrs. Goodwin. The movie runs 1 hour, 36 minutes, and was shot at S. Lorraine Blvd, Los Angeles (the PED sorority house) and California Institute of Technology, Pasadena. GRADE: B
