I never ran into this film in Blockbuster, Hollywood Video or an old mom and pop rental shop before it closed(and they had tons of vhs from the birth of vhs to the late 1990's). So it's only a title I kept stumbling across in film review guides and or seeing mentioned in Fangoria and such.

Also outside of the slasher fan/horror fan, the film is pretty obscure, hence use of the term. Just because it received a remake doesn't mean it was well known. Some producers remake 'small' films thinking no one will know it's a remake which is unfortunately true. Speaking of which, I haven't seen Sorority Row either, but want to, since it sounds like fun from what I've heard.
