Walking through our local video rental store, Zack and I were tempted to rent Voodoo starring Corey Feldman. However, even with the lure of one of the grand Corey’s (visit Extreme Movie Watching for more details of our double Corey 24 hour Extreme Movie Watching), the box for Sorority House Massacre 2 beat Voodoo to the punch… However, I am sure next week we will rent Voodoo and write a review on that as well. The box had a cheesy tag line, which I forget at the moment—something like “Delta, Delta, Delta, Die, Die, Die!”

The storyline involves five girls who are in a sorority and decide to buy a house that a family was killed in four or five years ago. After getting naked from either taking showers or changing their clothes, they put on tiny underwear and tops with exploitative cleavage and start to be mysteriously killed. A detective and his partner go and investigate for information at a strip club, but it never really pays off. Is the killer the wacky raw-meat-eating neighbor or the spirit of a mass-murderer inside a girl’s body?

The acting is uniformly bad, especially from the detective and his partner who read their lines with the depth of a bedpan. The music sounds very cheesy, and at one point the lighting is awful, probably demonstrating the fact that part of the footage was shot later at night. The ending is odd with an unexpected plot twist ruined in the preceding paragraph. The detective has the worst line of dialogue ever: [e.n.- actually, this is one of the funniest, due to the context of it.]

A large man gets shot seven times by cops carrying shotguns.

The detective checks the man’s pulse.

DETECTIVE: Hold your fire, he’s still breathing.

This movie is really funny for a laugh. If you enjoy your horror movies with a steaming helping of Velveeta, you’ll enjoy Sorority House Massacre 2.

I give Sorority House Massacre 2 *** out of ****.

Picking this movie over Voodoo was a very tough choice, considering the fact that it starred Corey Feldman. I was also tempted by the movie, "The dead hate the living", which I plan on renting soon. Sorority house Massacre 2 featured many, many scenes filled with blatent excuses for the girls to show their breasts. There is a scene where three of thm run out in to the rain long enough, for their underwear to become soaked, and see-through. So the movie wasn't all that bad. the two detectives, (who's only role seems to be providing some sort of backround story to the movie) go to a strip club, and after more nudity, they aren't seen again.

The movie is funny. I happened to enjoy the scenes involving the crazy neighbor, who keeps wathing the scantily clad females, through one of the windows. There is one scene where he is shown eating a bowl of raw meat, while watching some horror movie, as if it were popcorn. I guess that's why he's so fat. The extra layers of fat, must have been what kept him alive, for so long.

As exploitative as the movie was, I can't get myself to hate it, even if it did suck. **out of****
