Summary: BLOODY MURDER: PART 2 !!
Review: Just when you thought it was to play in the woods in a dark night!
Trevor Moorhouse is back once again, to do what he dose best-
Slice and Dice the heck out of a couple of stupid teenagers.
The movie is set 5 years after the first film, whitch was not all that good. The camp`s new owner try`s to re-open the place, along with a group of horney teenagers. Things start to go well, until the gang decide to play a little game of bloody murder, and thats when the mayham starts-
One bey one, the teenagers are stalked and killed by the evil Trevor Moorhouse!

Some of the great things about this movie is that it tries not to take it self seriously. I mean, look at the bad guy on the cover.
This movie also has some of the coolest death scenes since the original Friday the 13th!
The story line in un-original, of course, because it is very hard now a day`s to make an original horror film-
That dosent matter thow. Mainly because it`s got everything that
a 80`s style slasher film needs-Strong graphic violence, Strong sexual content, and language!
What`s even better, the girl`s are all babes in this film (including B-Scream Queen Tiffany Shepis!)

Overal, the best straigt to video slasher film to come out for a long time.

Summary: Actually pretty good!
Review: lets get something straight here... there is no doubt the acting and video quality of this movie sucks... but considering its independent and went straight to video.. i dare say this is the best new horror series in quite a while. yes they do seem to pick at the friday the 13th storyline (masked killer in the woods at camp, blah blah blah) but they do it in good taste. the story is really nothing like friday the 13th.. and the killer, trevor is somewhat unique. i havent seen the fist movie yet but i plan on it soon. but from seeing this movie i can say this series can only get better. keep your eye on it because bloody murder 3 is in production

Summary: Bloody, I'll say!
Review: Man, when they said "Bloody Murder" they weren't kidding. There is A LOT of blood in this one. The acting is pretty good, and with the music in the background it makes this movie creepy!

Summary: Predictable
Review: My boyfriend and I rented this film mainly because of the cover. Neither of us had seen the first "Bloody Murder", but we figured that it wasn't necessary. What we got was a very predictable and almost laughable attempt at a horror movie. From what I've read in reviews about the first movie, this one is supposed to be much, much better. That's amazing to me because this one was terrible. The acting is absolutely horrible and the plot is very predictable. I and my boyfriend were able to figure out who the killer was a quarter of the way into the film. Don't get me wrong, if you're in the mood for one of those stereotypical slasher films, then this is perfect. There is gore and the obligatory nudity - everything that people have grown to love in these types of film.

Overall, I would only suggest this movie if you're having a party or if you're in the mood for a good laugh.

Summary: Money Money Money
Review: No, I haven't seen it. But then again I probably have. I'm sure it's the same straight-to-video formula crap. I'm only submitting a review to make a point in response to someone else's review. A previous reviewer asked why anyone would want to make such a crappy movie that no one wants to see. $$$. Believe it or not, there is a LOT of money in it. All someone has to do is max out his credit cards to get the turd produced, usually writing the script himself and hiring his friends to act. Then he finds a distributor with no taste willing to buy the rights to print and release it. Then he takes his fat wad of cash and gets on a plane to the Carrabean, stays there for a month pretending he's hot $#!+, flies back home and does it all over again. Maybe I should make a horror movie.

Summary: a seemingly typical slasher and a good laugh...
Review: Not too long ago, my friend rented a pile of horror movies she randomly picked out at the video store, and this was the first one that caught my attention. Just from the cover, it looked like an extremly cheap and typical horror film, but I wasn't just ready to judge it. We put it in the DVD player and started to watch it.
At the beginning, I was thinking how cheesy it was. And I have to admit, the first REAL killing scene (right after they start playing their little game of Bloody Murder, some kind of hind-and-go-seek in the woods thing) was a bit laughable.
Also, my friend and I both agreed that the killer looks in no way scary. He/She looks like a gardener (blue overalls, gloves, hiking boots) with a hockey mask on. Don't be deceived by the cover of the movie; the killer never even uses a hook in the actual film nor wears a red shirt.
Anyhow, as I watched more of the movie, I realized how un-typical it was becoming because there were so many suspects as to who the killer could be. And at the climax, there is an extremly large plot twist which makes this movie good.
However, one major thing that brings my rating of the movie down to three stars is the often fake acting in the film.
Nevertheless, the movie was pretty enjoyable, and I recomend it to those of you who enjoy the nature of cheap"er" horror films and need something to watch on a weekend at night.

Summary: okay- a little guessable and cheesy
Review: Okay, the heroine in this movie is completely likeable; and that makes you want to see her make it out okay. WATCH OUT however for the chunky brown haired girl that's stealing her boyfriend. She has nude scenes and a shower one that especially will make every guy in the room turn away in nauseaousness. You must fast forward through this and not look. Trust me.
Anyways, Trevor turns out to be a pretty good guy after all. It's fun seeing the bad people get killed off. If you like these kind of movies, it's a good way to pass the time.

Summary: Did I miss Something?
Review: Reading the other reviews of Bloody Murder 2, I was wondering whether I missed something that I did not discover or see in that film, because I found it anything but original and scary. I have not seen the first installment (Thank God for that),so I can not compare the two films, but I can safely say that it is one of the worst I have seen for a long while.
Loving movies as I do, and all the genres, I really tried hard to find a redeeming feature that would make it 'watchable', but for the life of me could not find one.(except maybe finding Katy Woodruff very pretty!)
The acting? The actors must have learned their craft with a carpenter, because it is so wooden, and the lines delivered as if reciting in a spelling contest.
The direction? It is so bad, it makes 'Troma films' directors look like Stanley Kubrick.
As for the sript and story, the slasher Friday the 13th off shoots litter the straight to video market, some good, others watchable, and some others plain awful.Although I will not spoil the ending for those who would enjoy this film ,and I respect other viewer's opinion, I really felt that it was a complete waste of time and money.
Save your dollars for far better films, and give this one a miss with a capital M.

Summary: Much, Much Better Than "Bloody Murder"
Review: Sometime back in August, I believe, I watched the first installment in this budding franchise and followed that unpleasant experience with a scathing review. For me, "Bloody Murder" exemplified every failing a horror film can fall into if it is not careful: stilted dialogue, a weak plot that moves with the speed of a runaway glacier, bland actors in roles both major and minor, and most importantly, very little in the way of gore. The first "Bloody Murder" didn't even have good looking young women hunted down by the killer. I am the first to admit that just because a woman is good looking does not mean she belongs in the movie business. Far from it. Just look at some of the dim bulbs invited to appear on those unctuous talk shows for no other reason than because they are "beautiful." But in a horror film, especially a slasher film, you need to have beautiful women running around striking poses and screaming. "Bloody Murder" failed miserably at what it set out to do because it had nothing worth showing a veteran horror fan. Fortunately, "Bloody Murder 2" rectified many of these failings, and, while far from perfect, it does merit a look or two from horror buffs.

"Bloody Murder 2" revisits Camp Placid Pines five years after the spate of killings seen in the first picture. Once again, a group of counselors prepares to meet their doom at the hands of Trevor Moorehouse, the local legendary killer supposedly responsible for the previous group of murders. Well, anyone who saw the first film knows what role Moorehouse actually played in the crimes committed at the summer camp. Like the first film, the trouble starts when the counselors, sitting around a campfire, play a game of bloody murder in order to trick the camp owner's young friend. The game leads to an unpleasant confrontation between the dupe and one of the counselors, as well as the most gruesome killing in the movie. Things move rapidly from this point on, as bodies hit the ground in almost clinical precision. There are a few minor subplots, such as the black guy explaining why he will die horribly (because black guys always die in horror movies) and the lead character's dreams about her dead brother Jason. None of these really matter, though, because the majority of the film deals with the systematic destruction of all of these young people.

This film is hardly the archetype of originality in this genre. The twist ending is unconvincing and not all that interesting, and of course it leaves everything open for yet another sequel. The shower scene, and you will know what I am talking about when you see it, shamelessly rips off "Silence of the Lambs" when it does the old switcheroo bit. In that film this technique worked on every level, but in "Bloody Murder 2" it is merely an attempt to evoke a cheap thrill. Regarding the villain, Trevor Moorehouse fails to rise above your typical slasher film killer. The guy wears a Michael Myer's type mask with overalls and hood, hardly an original concept at this point in the game. At least Moorehouse delivers when it comes to killing: the first murder is not only exceptionally gory; it is also cruel on a level not often seen in horror films nowadays. After this spectacular opening, the movie backs off a bit in the gore department, but "Bloody Murder 2" is still light years ahead of its lame predecessor in this area.

Special mention goes to Katy Woodruff, the actress who plays lead character Tracy Hathaway. Woodruff is definitely not a spectacular thespian, but she stands head and shoulders above anyone who appeared in the first film. Moreover, she's definitely great in the eye candy department. Throw in Tiffany Shepis as the catty Angela and Amanda Magarian as the gorgeous yet underutilized Sophie, and you have the makings of a fine film sure to entertain every adolescent male in the audience. Perhaps I noticed how nice looking these three young ladies were because I recently watched several slasher films filled with Plain Janes. Whatever the reason is, these three women definitely stand out in what is otherwise a fairly average horror film. The male cast members do not stand out in any way, with the exception of the guy doing an unintentionally amusing impression of Ryan Phillippe's character from "I Know What You Did Last Summer."

The DVD edition of "Bloody Murder 2" works more often than not. I had some problems with the picture quality of the transfer, which I thought looked grainy for such a recent film. Moreover, director Rob Spera should have fired the lighting crew because all of the night scenes look bad. Even many of the daytime shots look awful, leading me to believe that someone didn't know that you still need lighting when filming scenes in the sun. While there is no commentary track on the disc, there are four trailers for films ranging from "Wendigo" to the first Moorehouse movie. Also included are a few murder clips from the first "Bloody Murder," which should serve as a reminder of how much better this film is than its forerunner. I won't make any stellar claims for "Bloody Murder 2," but certain elements of the movie do work on occasion. If you must see a "Bloody Murder" picture, skip the first installment and move straight into this one.

Summary: Much better than the first
Review: The first "Bloody Murder" movie was a pretty routine "Friday the 13th" retread. It wasn't that it was bad; it just lacked any real originality. "Bloody Murder 2" on the other hand, is a well crafted little horror film. The pacing is a big improvement over the first, which tended to drag along. This is a credit to the director(replacing original "Bloody Murder" director Ralph Portillo).
Overall, it seems that a lot of effort was put into making this a quality horror film that can stand alone rather than just a by-the-numbers sequel. Don't be put off by the derivative cover art. "Bloody Murder 2" is a solid chiller with enough plot twists to keep it fresh.
