Bloody Murder 2: Closing Camp

Plot synopsis:
Tracy (Katy Woodruff) is a camp counselor working to close down Camp Placid Pines for the winter. Also there is counselors Sofie (Amanda Magarian), Mike (Kelly Gunning), Angela (Tiffany Shepis), Elvis (Raymond Novarro Smith), Ryan (Tom Mullen), James (Lane Anderson) and boss Rick (Arthur Benjamin). At night, the counselors are having a bonfire when Angela suggests a game of Bloody Murder. Upset, Tracy leaves with Mike, while Sofie reveals Tracy's brother, Jason (Tyler Sedustine), disappeared at the camp years previously, believed to be dead at the hands of the local myth Trevor Moorehouse. While taking Tracy back to her cabin, Mike upsets her, so he returns to the bonfire as the others are telling the story of Trevor Moorehouse, who was supposedly in an accident at the camp years ago and was put in a mental hospital. Continuing on to a game of bloody murder, James is chosen to be it. He is blindfolded as the others run through the forest to hide. Soon after, Mike and Ryan dress up as Trevor Moorehouse and scare James, causing a fight to break out. Everyone returns to their cabins apart from James, who remains at the fire. James is then confronted by the real Trevor Moorehouse, who chops off his legs with a machete, before crushing his head with a rock.
The next morning, Tracy and Mike make up, before the counselors meet in the mess hall for breakfast with an angry Rick who tells the group that James left a note saying he was leaving the camp. Camp cook, Juanita (Virginia Mendoza) becomes scared, thinking Trevor Moorehouse murdered James, and so decides she will leave the camp later that day. As the counselors set about their tasks, Sofie and Elvis contemplate the existence of Trevor Moorehouse, while Angela and Ryan take a shower together. Ryan gets a message from Rick on his pager that he wants to see him, so he leaves only to find a grave dug in the forest. Ryan is soon shot in the neck with an arrow, before Trevor Moorehouse buries him. Meanwhile, Tracy spots Trevor Moorehouse walking through the forest, and warns Mike, Sofie and Elvis. They call in Sheriff Miller (John Colton), who doesn't believe Tracy is telling the truth. As the day comes to an end, Tracy and Mike fall out once more, before Rick tells the group that Ryan paged him saying he had quit. Angela, upset, wanders off herself, while Tracy begins to believe something strange is happening at the camp. Tracy, Sofie and Elvis decide to find Mike and Angela and find out what is going on.
Mike comforts Angela and the pair have sex. Elvis sees them, and so returns to Tracy and Sofie telling them he had not found them. Mike realises his clothes are missing, before Angela discovers Ryan's body half buried in the ground. Mike leaves as he doesn't want Tracy knowing about him and Angela, as the others turn up. Tracy, Sofie, Elvis and Angela are taken back to camp by Sheriff Miller, who tells them they can not leave the camp as they are suspects in the death of Ryan. Sheriff Miller then leaves to find Rick and Mike, while two deputies, Deputy Tim (Carl Strecker) and Deputy Carver (Benjamin Schneider), take Tracy and Elvis to the showers as they are covered in mud. The deputies are knocked unconscious, while Elvis is stabbed to death and has his throat slit by Trevor Moorehouse. Sheriff Miller returns with Rick, and suspicion soon falls on a missing Mike, as a mask was found in his cabin.
The following day, Tracy finds a camcorder set up outside Mike's cabin. She plays the footage, which shows Mike entering the cabin, before Trevor Moorehouse emerges moments after. Mike then appears to Tracy, who screams for help. Mike flees, but is caught by the deputies and taken to prison. At night, Sofie comforts Tracy, before Tracy has a dream that Trevor Moorehouse reveals himself to be Rick. In the morning, Tracy, Sofie and Angela being to have doubts that Mike is the true killer, and decide to recover Ryan and Rick's pagers to see if Rick was telling the truth about the messages before Ryan's disappearance. Meanwhile, at the police station, Mike tells Sheriff Miller that he is innocent and someone has altered the recordings from the camcorder. Back at camp, Tracy checks Rick's pager while he is in the shower, and finds that there are no pages from Ryan. At night, Sofie cooks the dinner to stop Rick from becoming suspicious. While Tracy checks the recordings once more, she discovers the footage has been altered. As Angela searches for Ryan's pager, Trevor Moorehouse strikes her in the head with a machete, killing her.
Tracy warns Sofie, who sets off to find Angela. Tracy goes into Rick's office to find the keys, but Rick appears. Rick attempts to tell her of his innocence, but Tracy runs away. Meanwhile, as Sofie finds Angela's body, she is knocked unconscious. Tracy manages to phone Sheriff Miller, before she is chased by Rick. As Rick corners her, Sheriff Miller arrives and shoots Rick. Sheriff Miller begins to drive Tracy back into town, but he reveals he was the true killer, getting revenge for what happened to his son, Trevor Moorehouse. Tracy finds Mike's dead body in the back seat, before Sheriff Miller handcuffs her to a log. Sofie appears, and Sheriff Miller chases her back to the camp. Tracy frees herself, and meets with Sofie at the camp. They are chased by Sheriff Miller, however Trevor Moorehouse appears and decapitates him with a chainsaw, and drags his corpse away. Tracy and Sofie fall asleep in the woods and walk away together the next morning as the paramedics arrive.

Review:
But this was a BIG step up, and it wasnt the GREATEST but it was pretty good.Its about this girl Tracy, whos brother Jason was killed five years ago at Placid Pines, why Tracy goes there to work, is beyond me.
But anyway, they have to close camp for the Winter, until Trevor Moorehouse comes along and starts offing them one by one.I think this entire thing worked out fairly well.
The blood and gore was definitly there, as opposed to the original, where it had...nothing.The acting was pretty average, the only exception being that retarded guy James or whatever his name is, when he started screaming like a five year old girl, i couldnt wait for his ass to die!
But everyone else did a good job for first time actors, they were actually believeable.Overall the movie was well worth the rental fee.
Then go out and rent this, its definitely worth it after such a horrible original to start off.I give Bloody Murder 2: Closing Camp a 8/10.
The score is better, editing is better, effects are better, there is more blood and more gore in it, decapitations, mutilations, full frontal nudity, first person views, it got all the ingredients to make it a good slasher.
The infamous red-herring Trevor Moorehouse returns for round 2 with "Bloody Murder 2," a beefed up, sexed up sequel to the generally cheesy direct-to-video original.
There is also an abundance of sex & nudity in general (props to Tiffany Shepis) that help enhance the enjoyment of the movie (don't feel guilty -- these flicks are pretty superficial to begin with).
the plot is the same as the first one:a group of teens help close down a camp for the fall, but a killer is on the loose and he stalks them off one by one.If you liked the first one, then do me a favor and check out this one, even if you hated the first one, this one is better, so check it out!
It's been five years since Trevor Moorehouse terrorized Camp Placid Pines, piling up bodies like cords of wood and now he returns!
Coming to Placid Pines is difficult for Tracy, who's brother, Jason, was one of Trevor's victims near the end of the original.
The killer looks cooler, the acting is better (but still not all that good), the atmosphere is a better (mostly at night time) and they've toned down the many ideas which were stolen from other movies.Even though this film seems like your typical, low-budget slasher movie there's something about Trevor Moorehouse that kept me thinking.
I still don't know if it was actually him doing the killings or someone just trying to imitate him like in the first movie.
If you didn't like the first film but enjoy slasher movies, give it a try.
"Bloody Murder 2:Closing Camp" is actually a sequel to the horror film "Bloody Murder",released in 2000.The film takes place five years later and the camp that saw the deaths of many teenagers has opened up again.The camp counsellors and owner are the only ones left on the site ready to shut it up for the summer.Among those is Tracy whose brother was at the camp five years ago but his body never found.The legend of Trevor Moorehouse still lives on though most people think it's just an urban legend.However it seems that Trevor is back and ready to butcher some more horny counsellors after a series of grisly murders start to happen..."Bloody Murder 2" offers plenty of gore.The killings are surprisingly graphic and Tiffany Shepis provides some nudity.There is even a bit of suspense,unfortunately the acting is mediocre and the plot is predictable.Still I liked "Bloody Murder 2" more than its crappy predecessor.7 out of 10..
Though it maybe straight to video - its not shot on video You can tell that they used what skills they knew to make this movie (nice lighting tricks and shot well at good locations.(could be composted - but i don't think so) Though not completely original, most of the writing and characters keep it in the "80s slasher" genre.
You know it is a never a good thing in a horror film when 99% of the stalk-and-kill scenes take place in the daylight.
"Bloody Murder 2" avoids this pitfall, and actually makes pretty good use of the isolated camp setting.
It is like the director (who is not the same one who directed the first one) watched the first few "Friday the 13th" films to get his sense of how to create atmosphere and suspense with his setting.
For the most part, the avoid doing the stupid and ridiculous things that we often see in these types of films.Another positive thing about this sequel is that we get more back story on the Trevor Moorehouse villain--where he came from, what happened to him, and why he is out for blood.
There are some nice little inspired moments (I thought that the shower kill scene was quite clever in the way it was handled) and overall should definitely redeem those who saw the first film.Still, there are problems to be found.
Despite the production being a vast improvement over the first film, there are scenes that come off as being very after-school-specialish, particularly because of the selected background musicOverall, don't expect too much or any huge genre-defining moments....this is simply a slasher film that takes place at a summer camp-nothing more, nothing less.
"Bloody Murder 2: Closing Camp" is another unneeded sequel to an extremely bad film, one of the worst I think I've seen.
The original "Bloody Murder" was such a terrible film I could hardly bear to finish the dang thing, it was unbearable.
I was a bit surprised by that as well.The basic plot outline is the same, Trevor Moorehouse (sound like Jason Voorhees, anyone?) terrorizing teens at a summer camp.
I will say the effects in this movie were slightly better though, the killings were more convincing (but still bad) and the acting was a smidge better.
Well, it ain't here!The bottom line is that the "Bloody Murder" series is a slew of cheap horror flicks that rip off classic horror movies to the extreme, "Friday the 13th" most prominently.
A surprisingly effective slasher movie with solid direction that earns comparison with the early "Friday the 13th" films..
This is a surprisingly effective slasher movie that's far better than the usual straight-to-video exploitation fare thanks to stylish direction and an eerie score.
The movie is clearly influenced by '80s summer camp horror films like "Friday the 13th" and "The Burning," and it earns comparison with those cult classics due to an unusual respect for pace, composition, and performance.
It my be a cheesy rip off mockbuster film but it had better acting, more than promised nudity from the one and only, Tiffany Shepis, the sexy horror queen, who gets naked not once but TWICE, showing both full frontal, the Gore enhanced, the kills were much more elaborate and believable.
The first film told the tale of serial killer Trevor Moorehouse who was suspected of killing the counsellors.
In the end the killer was the manager of the camp, however we did see Trevor kill one character named Jason at the end.
This sequel takes place five years after that, and focuses on a new set of counsellors who just finished working for the summer and are closing camp for the winter.
After being killed at the end of 'Bloody Murder', Jason's body apparently was never found.
Pretty soon the body count rises and the suspect list grows...Could the murderer be Trevor Moorehouse or someone completely different?I wasn't a HUGE fan of the first film, but thought it wasn't a bad attempt at a "killer at camp' slasher.
It's pretty average, but if you enjoy summer camp type horror movies, it's a decent entry.5/10.
Attempting to get over her brother's disappearance, a woman works at the summer camp he disappeared from with a set of counselors closing it down for the season who are slowly killed off one-by-one by a masked madman.This here turned out to be an above-average slasher if slightly clichéd at times.
That said, there's also some flaws here, mainly in the way the killer here is a joke as he doesn't look that much bigger than the males, is quite lanky in statue making the amount of force required on some kills a little hard to believe and really doesn't do a whole lot to inspire fear or danger from the audience or the victims.
As well, the abundance of clichés, from the lone black person among the cast to the group failing to realize the growing disappearing bodies around them and the lack of explanation for why they're there makes this one fall just slightly, but it's still a pretty fun slasher.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language, Full Nudity, and two sex scenes..
The camp with the bloody history, the killer with the mask, the stupid teenage camp counselors who have never taken an acting class, unadulterated sex, the token black guy, a slew of suspects, and of course plenty of gore.
Yes, Bloody Murder 2, is everything a crap-tastic slasher film should be and more!Camp Placid Pines has a bloody past.
Now the camp counselors are going to close the camp for winter, but one killer, Trevor Moorehouse, kills them one by one...
First of all that film is tones better than the original "Bloody murder".
They either made a cool looking cover on purpose, to cover up the fact that the real villain looked like a wimpy version of the guy on Valentine, OR, the cool looking guy on the cover ended up on the wrong set, and they had no choice but to shoot his scenes without him.The movie itself isn't as bad as people make it out to be - It's Friday the 13th Part 2.
Who is it and why?The movie has its good points--it's pretty well directed; the script isn't TOO bad and the murder scenes are VERY gory, brutal and scary.
That aside the movie is slow-moving, the acting is lousy (with Kelly Gunning as Mike being the worst) and the final chase with the killer after the final girl goes on FOREVER!So I've seen worse but I've definetely seen better.
Lots of really good gore, and some great nudity by Tiffany Shepis who has a body that really should be in hardcore porn.
`Juanita, you blame Trevor Moorehouse if the milk spoils.' That is the lone good line of dialogue in this headache-inducing cheapie sequel to the nausea-inducing original BLOODY MURDER.
5 years after the events of the previous film, a group of camp counselors are about to close up shop for the summer, until they start getting picked off one by one.
Certainly better than BLOODY MURDER, but one has to wonder even with the improvement over its predecessor in the gore department, why do they shoot most death/suspense scenes in the daytime?
Young adults in camp, masked killer, yada yada yada...Thankfully, I didn't see the first Bloody Murder, but the horrid buzz on it, coupled with the fact that it was directed by the supremely untalented Ralph Portiloo doesn't make me want to watch it anytime soon.
The first murder will please some gore-fans, and it's always nice to see the Shepis "twins", but the film really isn't worth the time.
i own this movie and feel that no one should pay full price for this movie like i did.i have not seen the first "Bloody Murder", but a close friend of mine said that it is no better then the second.
This film was pretty crap in my personal opinion, i thought parts of it were funny just for how ridiculous they seemed to be, but other than that the plot was terrible.First of all the killer is called Trevor Moorehouse, who apparently killed a young girls brother at a holiday camp a few years earlier, so she decides to work in the same place and then wonders why she has nightmares about it, the whole setting is a cheap low budget rip off of the original Friday the 13th film and the costume is pretty poor and non scary.
The title on the DVD i watched was 'Jason Vs Trevor'which for one is a blatant rip off of 'Freddy Vs Jason' and it doesn't even fit in with the idea of the film because the only character called Jason was the dead brother of the main heroine in the film, he is never seen and only mentioned a couple of times and in no way contributes to the overall effect of the film or storyline.This really is a rushed low budget film and i would only recommend to watch it if your with a lot of friends late at night who really wanna have a good laugh, because really thats all its good for..
But Angela, or better, Tiffany Shepis put the movie in a "interesting entertainment situation".
Teenage camp counsellors Michael (Kelly Gunning), Elvis (Raymond Novarro Smith), Ryan (Tom Mullen), Sophie (Amanda Magarian), Angela (Tiffany Shepis) & the troubled Tracy (Katy Woodruff) have just spent the summer working at the camp & together with the boss Rick (Arthur Benjamin) they just need to lock the camp down for the winter before they go home.
As the body count begins to rise who will survive...Directed by Rob Spera I actually thought Bloody Murder 2: Closing Camp was alright.
Having said that it's a better all round film than the first by quite a distance, thankfully this time there are no off-screen murders & unlike the original they're pretty gory.
As expected Bloody Murder 2: Closing Camp rips-off just about every slasher you can think of in some way but the murder mystery elements work well again & manage to maintain ones interest, the ending is a bit silly but sort of cool.Director Spera does a much better job here than Ralph Portillo did on the first, Spera actually films the stalking & murder scenes at night which instantly gives it more tension & atmosphere.
Unlike the original there is both nudity & sex, just like all good slashers should have.Obviously made-for-video & shot on video rather than film Bloody Murder 2: Closing Camp is generally well made considering the budget must have been low.
The video transfer gives it a slightly cheap look but the special effects are good & the acting isn't too bad either, surprisingly.Bloody Murder 2: Closing Camp is a decent little slasher film with a fairly good whodunit mystery element that is lacking from many slashers.
Yes it takes place in the woods, there's a psycho killer that wears a mask, gratuitous sex scenes, girls wearing sexy clothes, gore, but there's a little more plot development that forces the audience to think and generate an opinion towards who the killer is.
No wait, the highlight of the movie is the soft-core sex scene between Angela (Tiffany Shepis) and Tracy's boyfriend.
"Bloody Murder 2" is an entertaining ultra low budget slasher flick direct to video.
Camp counselors, preparing for the closing of the year shortly after the kids have gone, are picked off one by one by the supposed Placid Pines boogeyman, Trevor Moorehouse.
The killer wears a white mask and does his nasty work with the usual tools such as a machete(in the film's most inspired kill, a drifter on his way to college gets his leg cut off and thrown to the side), an old-fashioned stone, and a butcher knife.
Although I somehow like "Bloody Murder I", too (it isn't as bad as some of you may say; well, there isn't any blood, but the suspense is there and, except for the missing gore and the sex scenes, so is the stalking killer and the obligatory scream queen...), this one titled "Closing Camp" is considerably better.
Here you have everything - the stalking "Jason Vorhees"-like Killer Trevor Moorehouse who uses everything from Crossbow to chainsaw to get his victims.
`Bloody Murder 2: Closing Camp' is a perfect example of a modern horror film showing an appreciation of the classics.**SPOILERS**Tracy (Katy Woodruff) is having dreams that her brother Jason, (Tyler Sedustine) who is missing, was killed by Trevor Moorehouse, a local legend at Camp Placid Pines, where she works as a counselor.
The Good News: `Bloody Murder 2' is infinitely better than it's predecessor.
The original `Bloody Murder' is a barely watchable horror film, but this one is way better.
For all the talk about being in a PC world where violence is not part of horror films, it is a breath of fresh air to see on-screen kills in a movie like this.
It is very enjoyable, has a lot of creative new twists, and is far better looking than most of the horror films released today.
This film also had a higher body count and lots more gore and the acting was actually better.
They should have listened to Juanita the cook, who lives in such fear of the local urban legend that she waits three days before the camp closes to high tail it outta there.First of all, Part II is better than the first film and three-fourths of the entertainment value is contributed by up-and-coming Scream Queen Tiffany Shepis, who easily gives the best acting performance and provides all of the film's nudity (in the shower, in a car, in the woods).
Unlike the original Bloody Murder, this one actually delivers some gore.
But Tiffany and the gore cannot make one overlook the awful acting and horrid script, which includes some stupid SCREAM-inspired dialog (the black character talking about how he'll get killed first) and tries to put blame on obvious sources (the camp owner, the horny boyfriend, etc.) before pulling the identity of the mystery killer out of thin air at the end.
Now I really liked the first movie even though there was hardly any bloody murders being shown.
