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.

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.

"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.

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.

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.
