A house owned by a
family whom was murdered by the main
family man called the Hockstatter's has
been abandoned for years but five
sorority sisters decides to buy it out
since the place has been on sale for a
cheap price.
They are warned by a burly intimidating
neighbor Orville Ketchum (Peter
Spellos) telling them about the family
man dead but his spirit still haunting
the house and gives them the key to the
basement in case they need to protect
themselves from this ghostly maniac.
They ignore his warning thinking that he
is crazy and find a Ouija board so they
all decide to conjure up Hockstatter for
fun but then the Ouija board goes crazy.
Later on the sorority sisters are being
killed off one by one from a mysterious
killer with a hook and they all think
that Ketchum is a suspect as he is always
spying on them whenever an inicdent
happens.
Meanwhile, an officer Lt. Block
(Jürgen Baum) and his sidekick Sgt.
Shawlee (Toni Naples) are still trying to
figure out the missing case of Old
Hockstatter by talking to the survivors
who have witnessed what has happened
around the house beforehand but will they
arrive at the house before all these
sorority sisters are dead?
Watching this film
you don't understand at first on how this
was a sequel to the first flick in which
the chemstry for this one is different.
Well it's not a sequel at all. Of course
it's about sorority sisters entering a
new place in which a killer killed his
family and at first when that is
mentioned you do think to yourself Aha so
it is a sequel but there's more to it. A
corny camera closing in shot on Linda kneeling down next to a corner of
a sorority house acting helpless which
looked laughable when this scene was trying to
make it look intense and creepy.
Then there's the beginning of the film with her and the rest of the main sorority girls getting ready to
move into the house as their conversations
were way too unnatural.
There's an interesting moment with Janey standing in the middle
of a room in the sorority house and
talking about what happened there with
the murders while there's thunder and
lightning happening which seemed cheesy
but enjoyable on how she was discussing the situation and then a good shot on a
glass door with Orville Ketchum staring strangely at them but their
reactions on screaming was terribly
phony. This burly intimidating man next door
talks about the
story of a guy named Hockstater murdering
his family a long time ago which is very
different compared to the fisrt and the
flashback sequences go into scene's of
the Slumber Party Massacre.
I was thinking WHAAAT? I mean SPM wasn't
about a family being murdered at all but
the makers really used alot of it to make
this seem like a different story put
together and seemed like a tribute to
those T&A slasher flicks. I found it
impressive still and the best moment
ever. Hey guys it's not a serious horror
film at all. Then afterwards he
puts his hand down his pants as if he is
about to pull a weapon with a good shot
on the actresses freaking out (If
their reactions looked phony) and then
handing them a key to the basement which
looked impressive too.
Alot of the plotlines are very comedic
and too cheesy to seem scary too. Plus
alot of the performances are incredibly
amateurish.
Good shots on the sorority girls walking down the stairs to the basement
which looked pretty creepy but again they
weren't natural with their discussions
but nice shot on perverted material.
There's the basement of all the
belongings that Hockstatter had which
does seem intimidating like some hooks
and a chainsaw. There's also a time when
these sorority sisters decide to use a
ouija board which was very laughable and
can tell this is nothing serious at all
but then the results of their questions
looked quite entertaining at the same
time.
There's a corny moment with the sorority girls trying a ouija board and a good
camera shot looking down on them using it
but they're not convincing at all by
talking to the board and moving the piece
in which the moments on this was
terribly amateurish. But yet a nice shot
on the piece flying off and falling into
a fireplace with a good shot on the
fireplace flaming up.
Then there's a one taking a shower and
the other one waiting for her. Even if it looked
trashy it was still fun to watch. During
this moment others undress and put on
their lingerae's which looked like a
total slumber party too. I mean this was
lingerae city seeing what they were
wearing which was sexy looking outfits
that they were close to being nude almost
all the way in this film.
There's of course newspaper ads that
Ketchum kept and one of them says
"Hockstatter kills the Slumber Party
Massacre" which adds a perfect touch
to the film since they used a flashback
sequence in it.
A good shot looking up on Janey walking down some stairs and then a nice
shot on a hand grabbing her.
There's a good shot on a shadow
figure with a hook raised in the air and
plunging down with a cheesy shot on blood
splattering on the wall.
Then there's two officers trying to
investigate the Hockstater killings and
go into a strip club to talk to one of
the strippers who survived the murders
which really adds on to more skin for
this flick. Of course looked corny and cheesy
as usual but it seemed entertaining on
the surroundings around them. Meanwhile good shots on the main stripper doing a dance and strip tease
on stage as well as cheesy and hokey
discussions between two east indian mafia's
smoking and being amused but their
reactions were way too acted out and
comedic too.
There's a discussion between one of the officers and this main stripper after her show
discussing the Hockstatter incident which
looked way off and unconvincing but yet
it still seemed enjoyable even if this
performance looked trashy.
There are scene's that tries to be scary
with some of the survivors trying to
survive the night and there's nothing
scary about it at all.
There's Linda, Jessica and Kimberly freaking out about
the murders which weren't convincing at
all and too plotted out. Also a
good shot and blocking moment with the
three of them sitting on the floor in
different positions holding a knife and
being leary on protecting themselves.
There's a good shot on Kimberly rising out of a bloody bathtub towards Linda and falling back in.
But my other favourite part of the film
was one of the sorority sisters are
possessed by Hockstater and trying to go
after the last survivor in the film in
which I loved the creepy sounding voice
which was cheesy but very fun to watch.
I enjoyed the closing credits of the cast
members showing their scene's and who
they played too.
Bottom line is this flick is a golden
turkey but it's fun to watch if you're
expecting a bad film in which this one
totally is and that's the reason why I
considered this one average. It's a
comedy horror but not funny nor scary but
something about it seems to make you want
to watch it all the way through if you're
into low budget T&A corny made for
video slasher films.
The acting is
quite terrible for the most part. Let's
review some of the cast members as the
sorority sisters.
Lead actress Robyn Harris
(Linda) really can't act her way out of a
wet paper bag but really tries her best
to show a character in her part. She just
can't seem to pull it off at all. While
she tries to be energetic she slumps big
time. Even when she screams or freaks out
she is totally amateurish and seriously
needs some lessons on how to do all of
this if sh's serious on getting work in
better horror films.
Melissa Moore (Jessica) wasn't that
great herself but does a bit better in
her role and seems to come across nicely
in front of the camera. She seems fairly
okay when she tries to act outgoing and
bringing on some sleazy humor but it's
not award winning at all. Yet she shows
good expressions with the scene's she's
involved with especially when she acts
possessed by Hocksatter. Of course she
became an icon for many other cheesy low
budget films.
Stacia Zhivago (Kimberly) seemed to
pick up the pace a bit more and almost
pulled it off but yet she even lacked a
bit. She remained a virutal unknown like
most of the other cast members but I
could see her getting work in others
films of this type regardless.
Dana Bentley (Janey) really had a
sharp attitude to her role and knew on
how to act like a tease to the other
sorority sisters which seemed to look not
too shabby at all. She brought some good
spunk to her character. She seemed to be
the best one out of the whole cast
although her work was only average but
that is a bit better than most of the
cast performing here. Her
screaming reactions were low on energy though when she is attacked.
For the other characters:
Jürgen
Baum (Lt. Block) seemed to have a
nice serious attitude as a cop in the
film but at times he seems a bit stale
with his work. But has the right serious
looks to portray one so that's a good
pointer for him nonetheless. He was
another one of the best cast members in
this film.
Peter Spellos (Orville
Ketchum) was the total attention grabber
for the story of the film showing a good
expressionless like behavior and he came
across intimidating but in a slapstick
way. He had a stillness in his voice
whenever he spoke and really knew how to
come across as a suspect to the murders
involved. He was yet a little too comedic
than scary in many of his scene's though.
Stacia
Zhivago is full nude top to bottom
while taking a shower big bare breasts as
well as a shot on her vagina. Meanwhile, Melissa
Moore comes in and flashes her with
her towel towards her (Her breasts look
like they're implants)
The other cast members like Dana
Bentley, Michelle Verran
and Robyn Harris wearing nothing
by their bottom nighty or taking off
their clothes and putting their top
lingerae's on. This seems to be the main
drawing card for the film.
There's a breast shot by Bridget Carney
while doing a strip tease at a strip
club.
There's also a breast shot on Shannon
Wilsey doing a strip tease at the
strip club.
Zhivago is bare
breasted while rising out of a blood
bath.
There's lots of blood
splattering against the wall
A woman's foot is bloodily caught in a
bear trap
Some bloody stabbings with blood
splurting out on a woman's face
A blood bath is revealed
Ketchum is brutally shot with bloody
results
The music was quite cheesy
for the most part especially during the
opening credits by having a high pitched
Z grade synthesizer playing. There's also
many chanting sounds for when the
suspense or terror happens which got on
my nerves. There's some good horror
sounding wavy keyboard music and some
synthesizer violin high pitched sounds
too which seems to blend in quite good.
There's many deep piano playing too but
it sounded slightly cheesy. There's also
some good rusty sounds when someone is
looking around and trying to aovid the
killer which really worked. The music was
put together by Chuck Cirino.
Janey:
I never really told you guys why we got
the place so cheap.
Candy:
We did see him that afternoon lurking
around the neighborhood. |
