Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama 2

Not COMPLETELY horrible... boy, that's a ringing endorsement, ain't it? I don't think I ever saw the original, so I don't have anything with which to compare this, so I am reviewing it on it's own merits.

This feels like an 80's movie condensed down to a hour long TV movie. Speaking of the 80's... everything here is in that style - the colors, the clothes, the sets... everything, even the size of the cameras the boys use to surveil the girls - except that they use a modern tablet to access the cameras. :shrug:

The acting is about what you'd expect from a daytime soap opera, but at least it isn't terrible. The plot is (from what I read) the exact same as the original, but it does feel rushed. There's some gratuitous t.and.a and the stereotypical "sorority girl on girl shower scene." There's a bit of humour, especially the imp.

All in all, if you have an hour or so to kill, and you are looking for a movie you can zone out and just watch - no brain cells required... you might enjoy this.

I am a big fan of bad movies and have been a big fan of Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama ever since I saw it on USA Up All Night back in the late 80s. I heard the original director David DeCoteau left after creative differences (given some of the films he has made, you got to wonder what this would be) and Linnea Quigley turned down the chance to return as Spider, so the part was rewritten for Kelli Maroney (Night of the Comer, Chopping Mall), who plays Snake, Spider's sister. Brinke Stevens took over as director and appears as the ghost of Taffy, along with Michelle Bauer as the spirit of Lisa, the two doomed pledges from the first film. The cast is poor even for schlock and the even though this only runs 62 minutes, it feels much longer as the Imp does not make his appearance until about 40 minutes into the movie. Watch the original and avoid this cheap knockoff.

I am a sucker for trashy cinema so I have found myself watching more Kent Roudebush films that I should. I don't know why anyone keeps letting him write. Kent ruined the Evil Bong series and now Kent is ruining Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama.

I did not laugh once. The film is a mere 1 hour long but they still managed to jam about 10 minutes of the first film into it. The dialogue is horrible, and the pacing is intentionally slow to fill the gaps because the screenwriter didn't provide enough of a story, neither visually nor in dialogue.

Skip this and skip Kent Roudebush from now on.

I love b movies enough to just appreciate seeing cameo appearances of original cast members like Brinke, Michelle amd Linnea--but Ms. Quigley wasn't in this one. To me, growing up with some of these scream queens of the 80's brings a nostalgic smile everything time because they're loyal to their typecasting and therefore their fans. Life is short, so some will say dont waste an hour of it out of disappointment but i say see it while you can and get it out of the way because you cant have perfection with sequels all the time. And as aforementioned, since Linnea turned down her recurring role as Spider was reason kept from giving it 9 stars instead of 8.

"Sorority Babes 2" was entertaining, deliciously directed by cult icon: Brinke Stevens and stayed within a vibe of 80s VHS Exploitation and paid cable "Sinema", the "Auntie" character's presence and dialogue kept both films together (along with the late 80s "Freestyle" inspired soundtrack).

Many are expecting to many "highs", forget what genre roots this had, for VHS home entertainment where many White teens and college aged males were the biggest consumer.

Its exploitative, considered "low" art and defined the end of the 80s, during the beginning of "Cultural Wars": conservative politics with the funding of the arts.

Congrats on Steven's directorial approach in redoing 80s "scream queen" celluloid camp "ala Band" productions.
