This is worse than part one. It was written and directed by the same people but they managed to come up with a less coherent plot than before. The film mustn't have had a script because everyone stares to the side of the camera and delivers their lines.
The sets were also horrible. You can actually see the top of the sets in the all too obvious shots. There's not an ounce of suspense to be found. Now for the plot....
Kim (Tina Krause, who has gone onto better films) is apparently the only survivor from the previous SORORITY HOUSE MASSACRE but is really a zombie and needs the blood of three girls to survive. This is very convienent since she is now the head of the sorority house and it is pledge week!!!
The same plot from part one is made more incoherent this time around. This is from WAVE entertainment, a company that you can get to make part three by sending them a script and money to their production company.(I'm not lying, check out their website).

I know it's been 12 years since anyone has reviewed this movie, and while I doubt that many people will read this, I want to throw in my two cents about it. I actually preferred Sorority Slaughter 2 over its predecessor. I'm a long-time fiend for W.A.V.E. movies, and Sorority Slaughter was never one of my favorites from them. I found it to be tediously paced and a little too all over the place, and I wasn't personally thrilled with Leslie Cummins's performance (not to be hateful, I mean no disrespect), and there was the whole "the females faint when they see the male killer" thing, which I think is ridiculous. In other movies from W.A.V.E. Productions, they may faint if they suddenly encounter a zombie, or a mummy, or a vampire, or some other evil monster, but fainting at the sight of a short, plump, balding middle-aged man is so eye-roll inducing that it hurts.
Now, I know Sorority Slaughter 2 isn't going on very many people's Top 10 Favorite Movies of All Time lists, but as someone who adores this type of filmmaking, I have to say I quite enjoyed it. I had set my expectations so low after the first movie that it pleasantly surprised me. The first thing I will say about it is that the plot is insanely incoherent. Actresses who died in the first movie come back as completely different characters, looking exactly the same as they did in the previous film, with no explanation (no backstory of twins, clones, etc.), and it's pretty obvious to anyone who has seen the first movie that they are the same people. There's also the 'zombie bride', Kim (Tina Krause), who all-too-easily talks her boyfriend (Dave Castiglione) into not only slaughtering innocent college girls, but changing his entire belief system to the teachings/desires of Radu. She basically bats her eyelashes and says, "Sweetie, I need you to supply me with the blood of virgins in order for me to live," and his response is something to the extent of, "...'kay." To me personally, all of this just adds to the charm of the movie. There's even a way, way-too-long sequence of Tina Krause and Deana Demko (not Deanna Merryman, who is incorrectly credited here) pretending to be overly-intoxicated, and for some reason I'm perfectly okay with it. The initiation scenes go on for a little too long, and are repetitious to the utmost degree, yet the banter and interactions during make it worthwhile to me. Some of the sets/locations used in this sequel are different than the ones usually found in W.A.V.E. movies, so it was nice to have a change of scenery. And while it was by no means unpredictable or groundbreaking, I liked the ending.
I wish I could give you more concrete reasons as to why I prefer Sorority Slaughter 2 over the first film. I just do. And as I struggle to put into better words what I really enjoyed about a movie that is essentially a montage of sorority girls being spanked and taunted while locked in stockades and eventually stabbed, let alone why I love underground zero-budget shot-on-video custom-horror exploitation movies in general, that will just have to do.
