Summary: One star, because 0 stars is not an option
Review: If you're like me, you probably don't pay much attention to what other people say about movies; On mans trash is another mans treasure and all that. But in the case of this film, seriously, listen to me. Are you listening? Take that $15 you're going to spen on this film, hold it out in front of you, got it? Ok, now, set it on fire and watch it burn.

I bought this film in the hopes that if the gore wasn't there, at least it would be a classic late 80's style T&A show. What you get instead is a group of over 30 washed out actresses and playmates who seem to have just reviewed their lines before taking the set. Flat out, this movie is BORING. The "dialog" is painfully slow, the girls are NOT attractive and the killings are so weak, you'ld think you were watching a PBS production.

Look, if you're looking for decent camp gore, get yourself DEAD ALIVE or EVIL DEAD II. If you're looking for hot naked co-eds, get yourself one of the 400 titles that Playboy or Hustler puts out. If you're looking for both, hell, get the Friday the 13th box set. Just don't say I didn't warn you.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Everything You Want From a Slasher Movie
Review: Let me start off by saying Orville Ketchum is horror. This movie is really starring Orville Ketchum as himself (although imdb claims his name is actually Peter Spellos). He plays the creepy next door neighbor in this movie, and again himself in Hard to Die, this movie's sequel (of sorts).

Although this is the second in the Sorority House Massacre lineup, it really isn't a sequel at all. It is very cool because it has a flashback/recap of the "previous" movie, but I have never seen it before! It is basically just a bonus condensed slasher movie inside this one. Awesome!

Anyway, this movie doesn't dork around with lame character building and slow parts. There is no need for fast forward in this one. Mind you, this isn't award winning material here, but it is pretty effective. Good suspense, good pacing, and everything you want from a slasher movie. This is my favorite slasher movie of all time, highly recommended.

Oh, and the foley artist should get an Oscar -- the sound effects are inspired!

Summary: All you'd expect, and then some
Review: Let's face it, anyone picking up something with girls in their bras and "It's cleavage vs. cleavers" on the cover can't rightly complain if what they get isn't gothic horror in the best Hammer Films tradition. This is a cheesy, T&A filled slasher flick, and it does that very well.

As far as cheese, the movie really hits the bullseye when it comes to being cheesy enough for it to be fun, but not so cheesy that it's completely silly. The girls in the film are scared, but they keep making wisecracks to each other. They run around and scream in the best tradition of slasher flicks, but there's still enough seriousness to it that it succeeds at being a suspenseful, scary movie.

As for the T&A, this movie delivers. The girls are beautiful, and not only do they all have their own topless scenes, but they spend the last 2/3rds of the movie running around in their undies. And did I mention they go outside in the rain?

For the plot, well, it's a slasher. The girls move into a run-down house that they're going to fix up into a sorority house. They bring plenty of alcohol. There's no electricity, so they light the place with candles. A thunderstorm rages outside. The creepy neighbor shows up and gives them the key to the cellar. They go to the cellar, they go to the attic, they play the Ouija board, creepy things happen, bodies start piling up, you know the drill. The creepy atmosphere is done quite nicely.

Overall, this movie should fully satisfy the expectations of anyone who looks at the box cover before buying it.

Summary: Classic T&A Slasher Movie
Review: OK, it's not that bad, guys. Trying to review this using the same standards you might use for say, Citizen Kane, is silly. If you like watching movies where sorority girls run around in lingerie or less for most of the movie you will like this just fine. If your favorite actress is Meryl Streep, you probably will not like this movie.

This movie is a parody of slasher movies in which a bunch of scantily-clad sorority girls spend a night in a spooky house and are picked off one-by-one as the night progresses by a mysterious assailant. It's about what you'd expect - don't take it seriously. Robyn Harris and Melissa Moore are especially cute, but shouldn't wait by the mailbox for a letter from the Academy.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: all in the name of T&A
Review: Okay, an academy awards entry it's not... but SORORITY HOUSE MASSACRE 2 is actually a fun little film. Director Jim Wynorski knew exactly what kind of film he making (originally titled NIGHTIE NIGHTMARE -- come on!) and he gleefully succeeds at giving 2 am Cinemax watchers what they're craving. Cute, busty girls , all of them perky and sweet enough to rot your teeth, gather for what is essentially a mocking of THE SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE and its imitators. There are suprisingly a few genuine scares and, though the plot is rather moronic and the girls bascially just jiggle and scream, remember, THAT'S THE POINT! There are those of us out there who enjoy completely irreverant movies! Not all of us want THE GODFATHER or GONE WITH THE WIND. My only complaints are #1: that it isn't a true sequel and #2: instead of using footage from the original movie, they used footage from SLUMBER PARTY MASSACRE and had new actors voice over the original ones. Rather pointless.

If cheesy horror is your bag, check this out. If you want class, stay far away.

Summary: T & A MANIA!!! Sorority House Massacre 2 RULES!!!
Review: This is a teen slasher flick that dates back to the 80's ( I think.. ) That is pretty entertaining. The plot is very simple (like 90% of the horror flicks) , babes get together to re-model a sorority house and encounter a hideous murderer, but that is not what's important here.. The babes in here are really yummy looking, for about half the movie they run around in their pretty lingerie with panty thongs! :-) Mr. disturbed neighbor next door Orville Ketchum is a weirdo and delivers an amusing performance, he just looks so evil, and him being a chunky pyscho path makes his character more interesting.. This has plenty of slashing, nudity (yum!), and laughs, and that is what makes a good slasher film, imo... Fans of the Slumber Party Massacre series, Friday The 13th, Sleepaway Camp, will probably cherish ''Sorority House...''

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A spoof on cheezy Z-grade slasher films!
Review: This one had nothing to do with the original, and is really bad! Features scream queen Melissa Moore. It's a confusing movie,'cause there's a flashback memory that shows scenes from the very first "Slumber Party Massacre", this is not based on that since there already was a sequel to that one! This movie is nearly plotless and badly acted with alot of corny bad comedy. There's a big scene of two sorrority girls taking a shower. The director has directed alot of films including "Hard to Kill", which he hired most of the actors in this film.
