Sorority House Massacre II

Plot synopsis:
Five women, Linda (Gail Harris), Jessica (Melissa Moore), Kimberly (Stacia Zhivago), Suzanne (Barbii) and Janey (Dana Bentley) buy the old Hokstedter place for their new sorority house. They get it cheap because of the bloody incidents from five years before committed by Hokstedter (Michael Villella). They decide to stay in it for the night so they can meet the movers in the morning, despite the electricity and the phones not working. Janey tells the group of the murders years before, putting the group on edge. As it turns to night, a storm rolls in and the girls are crept out by they neighbor Orville Ketchum (Peter Spellos) who recalls the night of the murders, and how Hokstedter was defeated. He gives them the keys to the basement before returning home. The girls decide to explore the basement, and find Hokstedter's tools and also a ouija board. Meanwhile, Lt. Mike Block (Jürgen Baum) and Sgt. Phyliss Shawlee (Toni Naples) set out in the storm to get to the Hokstedter house after they receive a disturbance call from the house, and also suspect Orville had something to do with the murders, although Mike was unable to pin anything on him at the time.
After taking showers, the group decide to use the ouija board to contact Hokstedter, however after they become too scared decide to go to bed. Suzanne and Janey have an argument, causing Janey to return downstairs to drink the rest of the alcohol. However she is attacked and stabbed to death. Soon after, Suzanne goes downstairs to find Janey, however can not find her. She alerts the others of Janey's disappearance, and the group split up to search. Suzanne goes up to the attic, but is locked in. She accidentally stands on a bear trap before the killer stabs her to death. Meanwhile, Mike and Phyliss travel to a strip club to talk to Candy (Bridget Carney) a survivor of the Hokstedter massacre. However, Candy can not recall if Orville was part of the murders.
Linda, Jessica and Kimberly begin to think Janey and Suzanne are playing a trick on them, and so go down to the basement to find them. Just as they are about to give up, they find their bodies strung up on the ceiling. The girls run upstairs and arm themselves with knives before attempting to leave. However they run into Orville and so retreat back into the house and lock the doors and windows. As the survivors become more panicked, they realize they left the attic window open. They run upstairs and lock the window, however Kimberly realizes that he has already gotten into the house. She panics and runs downstairs. While Linda remains in the attic, Jessica goes after Kimberly. Kimberly bumps into Orville and hides in a bathroom, but the killer gets in and murders her.
While Linda hides in the attic, Orville enters. Linda manages to stab him numerous times before finally choking him. She goes downstairs in search of Kimberly and Jessica, but instead finds Kimberly dying in a bathtub. Linda is attacked by a still alive Orville, but Linda overpowers him and drowns him in the toilet. She goes downstairs to find Jessica, but answers the phone when it rings. A woman asks for her husband, Hokstedter, before warning her he is in the house, before hanging up. Linda is lured into the basement by Jessica, who reveals herself to have been possessed by Hokstedter. Jessica chases Linda upstairs where the two fight, before Orville reveals himself to still be alive. Orville stabs Jessica, however Jessica knocks him out, before Linda manages to defeat Jessica, stabbing her in the neck.
The next morning, Mike arrives with police officers after the movers found the bodies. They find Linda still alive, but now possessed by Hokstedter. Orville wakes up and shoots Linda dead before the police officers shoot Orville. He however, survives and is rushed to hospital and later released after police could not pin the murders on him.

Review:
There are flash backs, but not to the original Sorority House Massacre, but to the original Slumber Party Massacre, I guess even the film makers got confused, but who cares?
I liked and enjoyed "Sorority House Massacre II" because it goes directly to the point since minute 0 of running time.The movie's opening credits are cool enough.
The movie follows the bright tone of the opening credits until the end.For about 90 minutes we have hot, and I mean HOT women in skimpy lingerie running around the house and some bar while escaping from a possessed butcher.
That's all you have to know."Sorority House Massacre" is an entertaining 80's flick but it isn't for everyone who is into the Slasher genre.
It's also true that this movie fits better in the cheesy category because there isn't room for logic or common sense.So I would only recommend this movie for a teenager male audience who will be cheering our hot heroines anytime they run or scream.This is sexy material in the Slasher genre.
Five sorority sisters move into a big new mansion (Isn't this the same place Fred Olen Ray usually films his movies?) and are menaced by the fat, crater-faced, zombie-like next door neighbor "Orville Ketchum" (i.e. Peter Spellos).
For your money you get two shower scenes, three clothes-changing scenes, a bathtub full of blood, a foot in a bear trap, a OUIJA board, a possession, a knife stuck in a neck, a "spank" room, a man eating a sandwich made of raw meat, flashbacks featuring footage from SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE, the slasher scene from Hollywood BOULEVARD seen on a TV set, a trip to a strip club where deceased porn star Savannah dances and much more.
It's quite the little B-movie package we got going on here.Sure, the acting's not Oscar caliber (though the roles ARE played with enthusiasm, especially by Gail Harris *love her accent, by the way*) and it's totally clichéd, but it's actually a pretty fun and extremely entertaining little B slasher if you like these kind of things.
Robyn Harris who played the lead 'Linda' was great with her sexy British accent (didn't expect it!) while Peter Spellos was funny as Orville Ketchum.It is definitely one for a late rainy night or to watch with friends for a fun time.7/10.
I also rented "Hard to Die," which is a sequel to this and is almost as fun....makes a good double-feature with "Hollywood Boulevard" or "The Great Texas Dynamite Chase" or one of those Claudia Jennings flicks of the 70's....
I mean the film has nothing to do with Sorority House Massacre 1, yet uses footage from Slumber Party Massacre.
"Sorority House Massacre II" is actually one of my favourite low-budget slasher flicks.It is extremely dumb,but it offers plenty of gore and nudity,so I wasn't disappointed.Five pretty girls buy a creepy old house which was the scene of brutal massacre some years earlier and decide to turn it into their sorority house.Soon they encounter their weird neighbour,Orville Ketchum,who tells them that he was the one who found the bodies.They also mess with a ouija board and the slaughter begins..."Sorority House Massacre II" is a much better film than the dreary original.The gore is plentiful and the girls look incredibly hot in their sexy nighties.Gail Harris is pretty memorable as the leader of the sorority house and Peter Spellos is wonderful as the fat,creepy neighbour from hell.Overall,I enjoyed this film and you should too if you like sleazy slasher films.Give it a look.8 out of 10..
This was released the same year as Wynorski's Hard To Die, and both movies have some of the same actors and use flashbacks from the original Slumber Party Massacre rather than the first SHM (don't ask me why.)  The plots are also nearly identical, right down to the ho-hum demon posession that's thrown in for laughs.
I'm with Joe Bob on this one.****SPOILERS AHEAD****What other movie shamelessly borrows lengthy scenes from another totally unrelated movie ("Slumber Party Massacre") and uses them as flashback sequences, but with completely different back story and character names?
Well, wait a minute...I guess a lot of more mainstream movies do that, too.But you have to admit that this movie confirms what we males have always suspected: When women get together for a sleepover or slumber party, they spend half their time running around the house naked and the other half wearing the lingerie that even Victoria's Secret refuses to sell.****END OF SPOILERS****But above all, this movie is watchable.
Anyway, if you want to see a slasher film where the victims are pretty and buxom, and spend most of the movie in skimpy underthings, this is the one.
B-movie legend Jim Wynorski's name only sequel to the fairly dire "Sorority House Massacre" has almost everything you want from a straight-to-video slasher flick.
It's missing only the creative and violent "kills" these movies sometimes have.Wynorski is the guy who is quoted as saying that "breasts are the cheapest special effect in our business", and from that quote you can divine two things: he is a guy who doesn't take his work very seriously, and he is someone who knows his audience and what they want to see.
As a result his movies are goofy, harmless fun.You already know what this one is "about" - all slashers are pretty much about the same thing - but I'll tell you anyway.
They waste little time stripping off for a series of shower scenes, and then spend the rest of the movie in only their underwear.See, I told you Wynorski knows what you want to see.Anyway, the girls hold a seance with a ouija board and are immediately successful in contacting the ghost of the killer who once lived in their knew home.
Coming up with excuses to get generic pin up girls out of their clothes and into their underwear is basically his forte.The movie has a completely unnecessary sub-plot (more of a sub-sub-plot) about a detective trying to find out what happened to the house's previous occupants...
I'm pretty sure all cop movies from the '80s featured stirp club scenes as a way to shoe-horn in some nudity.
Well back in 1990 "Sorority House Massacre II" was to view, yet I just viewed it as part of my catching up on B list horror flicks, and once again this was a little treat of blood, gore, breasts, and stalking.
Yet again it seemed real despite being low budget with mostly no name actors when you don't use a lot of special effects and plus when you add a little story it makes for a good movie.
Set in California the beautiful girls of Sigma Pi will soon find that life is not forever as with playing around with a Ouija board and a past curse of their hangout house will lead these sexy colored bra wearing ladies down a blood soaked path of gore!
Overall good little suspense horror film of blood, nudity and thrills one to watch and enjoy it's a view that's better than many of today's big budget overblown graphic CGI pictures..
When a Satanic serial killer in plaid rears his bloated, flabby face near the house on a rainy night, the girls strip to their undies and consult a Ouija board for help.Lightning flashes are lifted from the title scene from Gilligan's Island!
The film's pacing is as slow as the killer's walk, because it takes forever for anything to happen.Linda (played by short little Robyn/ Gail Harris) is my favourite of the lot, but there are no decent nude scenes or sex scenes.
It seems more like a PG-rated lingerie shoot than a slasher flick for the first 30 minutes, then some mostly mild violence is brought into the mix, as the girls are stalked (very slowly) by Captain Happy in his plaid overalls, throughout this old mansion.This one-act story stretched out to 77 minutes basically climaxes about 60 minutes in, and then it falls back on the undying killer cliché, before resorting to the demonic possession cliché, in a surprisingly blood-drenched ending.
Every single girl in the "sorority" house decides to take a shower or change into lingerie for no real reason and of course some type of killing spree follows.
The killings in my opinion were great, but overall, this movie takes after the Slumber Party Massacre series..
Proving yet again that you don't need a budget for atmosophere, laughs, and that enjoyable drive-in-esque feel, director Jim Wynorski tells us the tale of a group of five silicon-enhanced coeds who've just purchased a new house for their sorority.
Once they arrive they're informed of the house's morbid past (Described as a flashback with unrelated scenes from "The Slumber Party Massacre) by creepy overweight neighbor,  Orville Ketchum.
The movie plays pretty much as you'd expect it to, so if your the kind of guy that likes T&A mixed with fake blood and freaked out teenagers, then this film is for you.
This is a good, funny and very sexy slasher flick, but it has nothing to do with the original Sorority Massacre.
Well this is your typical standard fare, you know: bad acting, writing, dialogue, the whole shabang and the only way to save a movie like that fro total disaster is have lots of hot women and and plenty of cheesy laughs.
Another interesting note is the character Orville Ketchum, brilliantly under-played by Peter Spellos, who is featured in both this movie and 'Hard to Die'.
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?
This film from director Jim Wynorski (Big Bad Mama 2, Chopping Mall) has everything a good horror film should have from big breasted women, non-stop nudity, strip clubs, girls in their underwear, a good maniac, bad special effects and of course, more nudity.
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.
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.
Why does it take the same plot and Scenes from the 1984 classic film "The Slumber Party Massacre"?
A group of young women (played by five untalented, but big-breasted B-movie actresses who are obviously too old for their roles) move into their recently acquired sorority house.
After slipping into their smallest items of lingerie, the girls unwisely decide to spend their first night in their new home dabbling with a Ouija board, calling up the spirit of a murderer who massacred his family in the very same house several years before.
Sometimes, people in horror films just deserve to get killed...Director Jim Wynorski, a man not exactly renowned for his high-brow movie making, ladles on the cheese in this deliberately campy sequel to Sorority House Massacre, which forgoes genuine scares in favour of a tongue-in-cheek approach.
Cheap, cheerful, and totally devoid of logic, Wynorski's film is never intended to be anything other than trashy fun, and, in that, I suppose it succeeds: viewers are offered a couple of prolonged shower scenes, a creepy weirdo who may or may not also be a killer, two useless detectives whose only purpose is to make possible a scene in a pole dancing joint (which briefly features deceased porn star Savannah as a stripper), flashbacks to a totally unconnected movie (The Slumber Party Massacre), and several unconvincing death scenes complete with hokey gore.Lacking any decent acting and direction, or any semblance of originality, Sorority House Massacre 2 is the kind of film best watched after a few beers have numbed the senses slightly and one's tolerance for puerile garbage is slightly higher than usual..
This is Bad. A bunch of girls move into a house where as the neighbor says murders took place 5 years ago.The main problem being that the flashbacks they use are from Slumber Party Massacre 1 and they change the story to fit this film.
More or less a sequel to SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE instead of SORORITY HOUSE MASSACRE, this laughable sequel has five sorority girls buying a house for cheap, where gruesome murders took place five years earlier.
What story there is, is about some sorority girls restoring an old broken down house, but falling prey to a killer after messing around with a Ouiji board.
Steer Clear Unless The Movie Poster Grabs You. Five college girls (including Robyn Harris and 90s B-Queen Michelle Moore) are going to turn a mega dump into their new sorority house.
Super creep next-door neighbour Orville Ketchum (Peter Spellos) comes over and tells the story of Clive Hokstedter's murders that happened in that very house.
They actually use footage from the much better SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE (which this is not a sequel to) to tell the story.
The five girls find a Ouija board and use it to call Hokstedter from the grave.If your idea of scary is watching women run around a house in their underwear than have at it.
With a formulaic, predictable script, a tantalizing female cast who do show us their goods, and some decent atmosphere, he makes "Sorority House Massacre II" into an engaging bit of nonsense.Working in footage from "The Slumber Party Massacre", he spins a yarn about five sorority babes who move into an old house that (wouldn't you know it) was the site of a mass murder perpetrated by vile Clive Hochstatter long ago.
Later that night, the nasty things start happening, while suspicion falls on the head of the intimidating (and eternally tired looking) next door neighbour, Orville Ketchum (Peter Spellos), a character also seen in Wynorskis' "Hard to Die".You get what you expect in this thing.
The movie co-stars Playboy Playmate Melissa Moore, Toni Naples (one of the villains from Wynorskis' "Deathstalker II") as Blocks' partner, and Bridget Carney as foxy stripper Candy, but the show is stolen by the deadpan Spellos, who's as indestructible as any horror movie psycho.Those who like their slashers on the sleazy side should have a pretty good time with this one.
The original "Sorority" is entertaining with good death scenes, but is too much of a rip-off of "Slumber Party Massacre" and "Halloween", but this sequel is even more entertaining and more of a rip-off.!!!SOME SPOILERS!!!A group of girls move into the house from the first film and are stalked by a mad slasher.
One main problem with the film is the fact that they use scenes from "Slumber Party Massacre" as flashbacks of the murders in the first "Sorority."(?)Good death scenes, some suspense(Yep u heard right, some suspense), and an o.k. plot, but terrible acting, and a little slow in the middle.
(I haven't seen The Slumber Party Massacre all the way through yet, but I'm pretty sure they used a clip from that movie to explain the killer's past in this one.
If you love campy B-movies, you might enjoy SORORITY HOUSE MASSACRE 2!!!.
"Sorority House Massacre II" is a thoroughly fun and enjoyable cheesy slasher.**SPOILERS**Finding an abandoned house, Linda, (Gail Harris) Jessica, (Melissa Moore) Kimberly, (Stacia Zhivago) Suzanne, (Michelle Verran) and Janey, (Dana Bentley) decide to use it as the home for their new sorority.
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.
Wynorski shamelessly includes footage from SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE, injecting it into the plot representing the murders spoken about by the girls and Orville.
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!
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 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.
Sorority House Massacre 2 is an excellent example of how you can recycle the scenes from another film, in the hope that others haven't seen that other film, and use them to create a mythology that your story centers itself upon.
In this case, several scenes are pilfered from the much superior "Slumber Party Massacre," except the teacher becomes the driller killer's wife, the girls that survive are his daughters, and the driller killer isn't "Russ Thorn," but is named something else completely.A sorority purchases a abandoned home, and while setting themselves up in it, they find a Ouija board and decide to invoke the sinister spirit of the maniac.
