BLOODY MURDER: PART 2 !!, April 25, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Bloody Murder 2 (DVD)
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.

"A lot better than the first...", March 3, 2003
By A Customer
After the first "Bloody Murder" film, which totally blew, "Bloody Murder 2: Closing Camp" is quite a fun movie to watch. However, the killer, Trevor Moorehouse, doesn't look anything like he does on the cover, now he wears overalls, a black shirt, gardening gloves, a black full-overhead stocking cap, and a face mask that, instead of Jason, looks like Michael Myers. Sucks, huh? I do think the other look fits Moorehouse better, because it's more wicked and evil, but this one is good, too.
This features much more of Trever Moorehouse than the first one did, and this time it's the REAL Trevor Moorehouse, not some counselor pretending to be him. And guess what? He does NOT have a chainsaw for a left hand. Sure, he uses a chainsaw, but it's not his left hand. He's got both his hands, and he even uses a machete once or twice in this picture.
The acting was pretty horrible, and some of the effects were cheesy, such as the death of Trevor's father, and also Elvis' death. But, overall, Bloody Murder 2 had an okay plot.
"Bloody Murder 2" definitely belongs in my collection, see if it's the same for you.

Return of the ambiguous killer, March 21, 2003
This review is from: Bloody Murder 2 (DVD)
I gotta say this one was an improvement. The first one was the slasher movie without the slashing. I mean, oddly, no gore, very little profanity, and no nudity, all of this overshadowed by a VERY Scooby Dooish plotline. But, it did involve a hockey mask, a summer camp, and some girls, so I liked it okay. In this movie, however, we see a return to time-honored traditions, and I found them encouraging. Essential elements are thrown into the mix.
The Plus Column:
a. You get to see the camp bullies (two sissies that looked like rejects from the bad karate kids in Karate Kid) turned into spare parts. Always cool. Subsection #1: Most of the people you dislike the most get bumped off at a reasonably fast rate, with only a couple of exceptions.
b. They actually explain the whole ambiguous Trever Moorehouse thing, which they skipped in the first one, although, unfortunately, the origin isn't very original.
c. Many of the murders happened at night, under the proper atmosphere, unlike the first one where almost everyone got semi-slashed in broad daylight.
d. Chicks, baby, chicks! Oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about. The first one had some pretty girls, but these chicks are much hotter. As a matter of fact, the whole thing centers around a nymphish blonde, honey-skinned and long-legged, ooh yeah, very distracting, which is cool because she takes your mind off of the lower points of the film.
The Con Column:
a. The killer had no theme at all. He wore overalls over a hooded sweatshirt, and a mask like the Tooth Fairy in Darkness Falls. No trademark weapons. I mean, I know in the first one they ripped both the Main Man Jason Vorhees and Leatherface with the hockey mask and chainsaw, but it was still better than what you have this time around. Vorhees wouldn't even spit in this guy's direction. Madman Marz, I hate to say, looked cooler.
b. The same Scooby Doo storyline. When the killer is revealed at the end, I know he was chomping his teeth to say, "Those meddling kids." But the good thing is, instead of Fred, Daphne, Velma, Scooby and Shaggy, you just kinda have a blonde Daphne.
c. The head camp guy, owner, whatever he was. Uuggh. He made Patrick from the first movie look like Bruce Willis from Last Man Standing. I can't see how ANY parent would send their kid to this guy for the summer.
All and all, I'd say this movie is worth the effort, especially if you saw the first one. I didn't rent it, I bought it, and it was pretty well worth the money.
