Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
generationofswine Which one was this? I can't really remember. I do, however, know it was the movie where they hire a lot of women and require them all to take their clothes off.I recall a shower scene in there somewhere.And then I remember the women running around screaming in undies that are really only worn in the bedroom.Was there a plot? Not really, it was just an excuse for nudity and undies.But, you already knew all of that when you sat down to watch this. Because, honestly in film making, they aren't really trying to pass it off as anything other than an excuse to film young naked breasts and you don't really get anything but that.So, why are you reading this? You know exactly what this movie is about. You knew that before you even clicked on this review.But, at least the review is as honest as the movie.If you are expecting more than that, there is something seriously wrong with you.
liberalblossom15 Five young sorority sisters have just bought a dilapidated old building which they plan on renovating and making into a new sorority house. For one reason or another, they go to the house on day and decide to stay overnight in the house to meet the movers the next morning. What follows is an endless tirade of clichés and male driven slumber party fantasies.I watched this one rainy afternoon while bored (right after Slumber Party Massacre no less)hoping for some campy fun - instead my intelligence was insulted. Lingerie, booze, Ouija boards, creepy neighbors and demonic possession all make an appearance within this 70 minutes of poor film making.The two things I found most irritating about this film were: 1.) The women in lingerie. I'm sorry boys, I hate to bust your fantasy, but we do NOT wear our sexy lingerie to slumber parties. That type of thing is usually saved for your viewing pleasure - not for our girls to see.2.) The footage stolen from "Slumber Party Massacre" and used as a back story. I'll give the director points for trying to separate this flick from its predecessor, but, please, don't insult the viewers. We know where that footage is from - and not everyone sees it as an homage - more as a blatant rip off.The acting was terrible as expected, but this movie is the epitome of the horror film cliché. We have a demonic possession and a slasher film loaded with T&A. A few reviewers have claimed that this is a satire/spoof but it doesn't give that impression to me. This film is watchable, if only to laugh at how ridiculous it is.
udar55 For my money this is the ultimate slasher spoof/commentary that buries SCREAM. It may not be as slick but director Jim Wynorski perfectly walks the line between slasher film and send up. 5 sorority sisters move into a dilapidated house with the hope of restoring it. What they don't know is that this is the site of the Hocksteader massacre (oddly recreated in flashbacks with footage from SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE!?!). Throw in some booze, lingerie, a creepy neighbor and a Ouija board and you can guess what happens next. Wynorski fills the film with moments of clever humor about slasher clichés (but never the terrible "wink, wink" kind). It also has enough gory mayhem to be seen as a stand alone horror film. So is it the world's first post-modern slasher film? Not really but it is a helluva lot of fun. Wynorski delivered pretty much the exact same flick the same year with HARD TO DIE (except that took place in a skyscraper). Melissa Moore, Jurgen Baum (as Lt. Block) and perennial red herring Orville Ketchum (billed as himself) show up in that one as well.
Paul Andrews Sorority House Massacre II starts as five young & attractive female college students, Janey (Dana Bentley), Jessica (Melissa Moore), Linda (Gail Harris as Robyn Harris), Kimberly (Stacia Zhivago) & Suzanne (Michelle Verran), move into their new sorority house. However, as Janey explains, she managed to get the house so cheap because of the notorious history that surrounds it. Janey goes on to say that house belonged to Clive Hokstedter & was the setting for a series of grisly murders five years earlier in which several young & attractive female college students were butchered by Hokstedter... As the girls explore their new sorority house they discover an Ouija board & Jessica has the bright idea to hold a séance because it might be good for a laugh, these people deserve to die! They try to contact the spirit of Hokstedter but give up when things become spooky, as a violent thunder storm rages outside the girls decide to bed down for the night but they are soon to discover that they are not alone as a homicidal maniac starts to kill the girls one-by-one. Is it the vengeful spirit of Hokstedter, maybe it's the weird next door neighbour Orville Ketchum (Peter Spellos) or perhaps it's someone, or indeed something, else...Casted & directed by Jim Wynorski, according to the IMDb wisely hiding under the pseudonym Arch Stanton, Sorority House Massacre II is another low budget conveyor belt production to come from the Roger Corman owned New Concorde production company & didn't particularly impress me, strangely this is the third film I've seen this week to include footage from The Slumber Party Massacre (1982) the other's being Slaughter Studios (2004) & Slumber Party Massacre II. The script by Mark Thomas McGee, James B. Rogers & Bob Sheridan plays more like a sequel to The Slumber Party Massacre than Slumber Party Massacre II does, it is as basic a slasher as I've ever seen, as soon as the film starts it introduces the disposable cast members, sticks them in the requisite isolated location & then pads things out a bit with boring dialogue before the killer shows up to kill a few of them until the stupid 'he's not quite dead yet' type twist ending that is there for the purposes of a sequel, it really is as simple & straightforward as that. The killings aren't that original, the killers identity is meant to keep you guessing until the shock climax but you'd have to be pretty dumb not to work it out & since the script can't be bothered to throw in any sort of red-herrings it becomes painfully obvious. Having said that if your looking for a slasher then you could do worse than Sorority House Massacre II as it moves along at a fair pace, there are no real sub-plots to bog things down & it delivers what one would expect from a slasher.Hack director Wynorski has over 60 low budget horror/sex films to his name & Sorority House Massacre II was one of his first. There is one scene that still bugs me even now, Janey is attacked from behind & the film cuts to a white wall with a silhouette of a hook coming down, Janey is heard screaming & a gallon of blood splatters on the wall, with me? Right, now the very next scene within seconds of Janey being killed & one of her friends has come looking for her & looks in the kitchen where the walls are absolutely perfect. I'm sorry but you could not clean that amount of blood off a wall, & presumably the floor to, in the space of a few seconds without any form of cleaning aid, could you? It's totally impossible & that bit really annoys me even now. The rest of the film isn't exactly brilliant either & Wynorski makes sure his female cast have the least amount of clothes on possible as they spend most of the film either running around in their underwear or naked. The gore is tame, a few blood spurts, a few knife wounds & someone has their foot trapped in a bear trap. There is a fair amount of nudity though, if that's your thing.Technically Sorority House Massacre II was obviously made on the cheap & it shows. The acting is poor by everyone involved especially Spellos as the weird fat neighbour, there are a few porn stars in here as well if that sort of thing interests you...Sorority House Massacre II is an OK slasher, it does what one would want but it's not that well made, the gore is tame & the story is a bit to basic. Die-hard slasher fans might like it but in an already over saturated sub-genre it does nothing to distinguish itself from far better competition.
