Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama 2

I went into this movie really wanting to enjoy it. I love cheesy Full Moon cult classics like Dollman and Puppet Master and fully support the idea of breathing new life into these flicks with new sequels.

That is, unless the end result is Sorority Babes at the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama 2 - an almost unwatchable follow up that makes its hour-and-seven minute runtime seem like an eternity. If you're a fan of the original, it's unfortunately not worth satisfying your curiosity.

While no one's expecting this to be a masterpiece in storytelling, it's as if they didn't even try to come up with a decent idea for a sequel, and everything else from the porn grade acting to odd lack of anything happening on-screen make this a waste of time for all involved including you the viewer. Even the awesome Linnea Quigley reprising her role as Spider can't save this dud.

Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama 2 (2022) is a movie that I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a sorority that doesn't believe in the rumors about the school and local bowling alley until they unleash the wish granting gremlin themselves. They'll learn the hard way the evil intentions of the gremlin they've unleashed.

This movie is directed by and stars Brinke Stevens (Terror Toons 4) in her directorial debut and also stars Kelli Maroney (Fast Time at Ridgemont High), Audrey Neal (No Way Out), Jessie Gill (The Pointe), Michelle Bauer (Demonwarp) and Luka Parente (The Christmas Listing).

The best part of this movie is the cameos and characters from the original 1988 cult classic. This felt like a movie only made for that purpose. The writing is poor to awful with no real storyline, purpose of the events or worthwhile acting/dialogue. The acting and dialogue is really porn movie caliber; unfortunately, this doesn't have as much nudity as you'd expect from the poster or caliber of movie this is. There's a scene they literally spray whipped cream on top of a t-shirt (whose idea was that). The last 10 minutes of this film gets really good with some great use of makeup, costumes, horror elements and some fantastic kill scenes. I literally said out loud, where was this all movie? Unfortunately, it's too little too late.

Overall, this is a poor addition to the horror genre that felt rushed and didn't have enough elements to make it worth a watch. I would score this a 2/10 and recommend skipping it.

This didn't do it for me, and I'm totally bummed out about having to say that. I'm a big fan of the original, love the cast and Uncle Impy. I wanted to enjoy this. I'm cool with low budget/low effort movies if they do something fun. I didn't like any of the characters except the imp. Should have spent more on hair, makeup, wardrobe, and script re-writes.

The characters lacked passion, especially the women. They were all just reading lines off of cards.

I'm bummed out that more effort wasn't put into helping Michelle Bauer and Brinke Stevens look pretty. I met Michelle and making her look sexy, and in character, would have required very little effort.

Also, the nudity felt gratuitous. Granted it was gratuitous in the original, but there was story motivation and dialog during it. In this it was just kinda there and not all that sexy.

Like I said. This one just didn't do it for me. Even when movies are so bad they're funny, the filmmakers are trying their best to make the best movie they could.

Another cheapo Full moon feature made as a sequel to one of their earlier rights-controlled titles. This is less a sequel and more a remake of the original, except made on a tiny digital budget and with a running time of just over an hour. The first forty minutes ramp up the nudity through pointless shower and titillation sequences, while the last twenty-five minutes recap some cheap kills at the bowling alley. Brinke Stevens (who also directs) and Michelle Bauer come back for minor cameos, but the new cast members invariably disappoint and this lacks the campy charm of the first film, feeling instead like a cheap cash grab.

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.
