Scarecrow-88 Well Wynorski understood what any good slasher must have in order to be a smashing suc(k)cess:bimbos, boobs, blood, and board..the Ouji Board, than is.Five sorority sisters spend the night in a recently purchased house, a cob-webbed, old dump in need of renovation, notorious for being the very place a series of murders were committed by a nutcase who lived there. When the girls make the mistake of summoning his evil spirit from beyond the grave, they're in for a hellish night of certain peril as a killer, using a hook, executes them one by one. Could Orville Ketchum, a rotund, creepy neighbor who knew the serial killer, be the one slicing the well-endowed sisters? You'll recognize right away that the female cast weren't hired for their acting abilities, and director Wynorski includes lots of shirts being removed allowing their puppies to breathe and one long shower scene where his camera pans down Stacia Zhivago's naked body as she bathes her flesh. Robyn Harris is the final girl discovering the bodies of her murdered sisterhood while Melissa Moore(..a Playboy Playmate, at the time)is the dense big-titted honey who follows her lead along with Zhivago. Jürgen Baum and Toni Naples are detectives suspecting that the murders at the old house where the killer once lived aren't over. Barbii(Michelle Verran)and Dana Bentley are the other girls who wind up dead, victims of the hook-killer. Wynorski shoots the killings off screen, the shadow of the killer, lifting up his hook, bringing it down on the victim with blood splattering on the walls. Peter Spellos, portraying Orville, the man that just won't die despite being stabbed numerously, strangled by a chain, drowned in toilet water, and shot multiple times with a shotgun, is quite memorable as the red herring of the film. Wynorski shamelessly includes footage from SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE, injecting it into the plot representing the murders spoken about by the girls and Orville. Wynorski goes out of his way to titillate his male audience..for most of the film, the girls are in their underwear.

leegreatorex I'm a huge fan of the slasher genre and I have yet to find a better example. Packed full of babes, boobs and gore. I recommend staying and watching this with a couple of beers any-day! Obviously not one for movie snobs but just brilliant sexy fun from beginning to end! I' have probably seen this film about 8 times and laughed and loved it every time, watching it with friends and I promise you will have a big laugh together but also contains enough sexy bits to watch alone simply for all the young sexy girls who are constantly loses their clothes. If you like girls, your eyes will simply bulging out of their eye sockets. It's so funny though that if you had a girlfriend she would probably even enjoy it and if you have a girlfiend like one of the babes in the film, she'll sure to be naked before it's over!

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.
