This second part is how producers could shown that they made a big mistake by getting actors who couldn't act, or directors who couldn't direct. They learned from that. This is part two and much much better than part one. It starts of with a dream, you are immediately in the movie. When the killer appears they only made one mistake with the chainsaw. Watch close when you see it penetrating Jason, you could easily see the mistake, anyway, I thought, o no, not again a bad movie. But then we get to learn the persons, this time they could act, they are less shameless, the girls I mean, than in the first part where they wear underwear that made you go aaaaaaaaaarghhhhhh. The score is better, editing is better, effects are better, there is more blood and more gore in it, decapitations, mutilations, full frontal nudity, first person views, it got all the ingredients to make it a good slasher. And there are a few plots in it that you couldn't suspect. For a low budget one it is surely watchable. Unavailable here in Europe, you really have to buy it in Australia like I did, maybe in the states. One of the franchises that is better then the first part, buy it.

Ok, JUST rented this and found it to be SO much better than the first one. The people in this one actually could act and not only that, but they had REASONS for going somewhere, unlike some people who would just out of NOWHERE say "Oh, i forgot the map, i'll go back and get it" while they are walking through the woods. I mean come on! But this was a BIG step up, and it wasnt the GREATEST but it was pretty good.

Its about this girl Tracy, whos brother Jason was killed five years ago at Placid Pines, why Tracy goes there to work, is beyond me. But anyway, they have to close camp for the Winter, until Trevor Moorehouse comes along and starts offing them one by one.

I think this entire thing worked out fairly well. The characters werent as paper thin as in the first, and you learned to ACTUALLY kind of care for them in the end. And finally for once, the slut or African American didnt

die first! The blood and gore was definitly there, as opposed to the original, where it had...nothing.

The acting was pretty average, the only exception being that retarded guy James or whatever his name is, when he started screaming like a five year old girl, i couldnt wait for his ass to die! As for the rest they did pretty well, especially Tiffany Shepis who did a good job as the slut, i wish i knew everyone elses real name, i could say a lot more. But everyone else did a good job for first time actors, they were actually believeable.

Overall the movie was well worth the rental fee. Disregard ever watching the first and just read reviews or plot outlines of it, youll get the gist of it fairly quick. Then go out and rent this, its definitely worth it after such a horrible original to start off.

I give Bloody Murder 2: Closing Camp a 8/10

"Bloody Murder 2: Closing Camp" is another unneeded sequel to an extremely bad film, one of the worst I think I've seen. The original "Bloody Murder" was such a terrible film I could hardly bear to finish the dang thing, it was unbearable. Why did I rent part 2, you ask? I don't really know. I suppose I couldn't find anything better to rent, so I gave it a try. And, as anticipated, it was awful. But I will say it was an improvement on the dreadful original, ever so slightly, but it was. I was a bit surprised by that as well.

The basic plot outline is the same, Trevor Moorehouse (sound like Jason Voorhees, anyone?) terrorizing teens at a summer camp. Nothing new or fresh, same old thing. Another ripoff of "Friday the 13th", just like the first one was. I will say the effects in this movie were slightly better though, the killings were more convincing (but still bad) and the acting was a smidge better. They throw some nudity into this one, which was unneeded and the result was actually kind of gross because the girl wasn't attractive at the least. Even still, none of these minor strong points can make up for the mess that this entire series is. The acting, for one, was still very poor. It felt like I was watching a soap opera (just as I felt during the original), and it was beyond unbelievable. Second, the script. It's the same story as the original, which was a blatant rip-off of a handful of horror classics. Where's the originality? Well, it ain't here!

The bottom line is that the "Bloody Murder" series is a slew of cheap horror flicks that rip off classic horror movies to the extreme, "Friday the 13th" most prominently. They are poorly made, have bad acting, bad scripts, a dreadful story that is almost complete plagiarism, and are nothing new at all. Avoid this series, you will thank me. 2/10.

Young adults in camp, masked killer, yada yada yada...Thankfully, I didn't see the first Bloody Murder, but the horrid buzz on it, coupled with the fact that it was directed by the supremely untalented Ralph Portiloo doesn't make me want to watch it anytime soon. The main reason I sat through this one was because of Tiffany Shepis, and I wouldn't mind if she came to my house to personally thank me for having to sit through this mind-blowingly stupid little film. The first murder will please some gore-fans, and it's always nice to see the Shepis "twins", but the film really isn't worth the time. Further the ending is among the stupidest things I've ever seen.

My Grade: D

Eye Candy: Tiffany Shepis gets fully nude multiple times

...but I heard it's dreadful. This one isn't much good either.

A bunch of annoying camp counselors are closing down a summer camp for the winter. A masked killer suddenly shows up and starts killing them off one by one. Who is it and why?

The movie has its good points--it's pretty well directed; the script isn't TOO bad and the murder scenes are VERY gory, brutal and scary. That's about it for compliments.

That aside the movie is atrociously sexist--there is a pointless shower sequence and sex scene in which the women's breasts are shown constantly (in closeup no less). Meanwhile next to nothing is shown by the guys. I'm sick and tired of filmmakers throwing pointless female nudity in a film. This might shock them but not EVERY male viewer wants to see that. I see a horror film to be scared--not have nudity rubbed in my face. It's degrading. If you're going to show it on the girls why not show what the guys have? Be an equal opportunity sexist! That aside the movie is slow-moving, the acting is lousy (with Kelly Gunning as Mike being the worst) and the final chase with the killer after the final girl goes on FOREVER!

So I've seen worse but I've definetely seen better. The appalling sexism in this really got to me. I give it a 3.

The first film told the tale of serial killer Trevor Moorehouse who was suspected of killing the counsellors. In the end the killer was the manager of the camp, however we did see Trevor kill one character named Jason at the end. This sequel takes place five years after that, and focuses on a new set of counsellors who just finished working for the summer and are closing camp for the winter. We meet our main female character Tracy who has a connection to the first movie - She is Jason's sister. After being killed at the end of 'Bloody Murder', Jason's body apparently was never found. Tracy still clearly has issues over this and suffers from nightmares. Anyways, late one night after the group plays a game of bloody murder, we see the first kill. That's when we realize that someone is back at Camp Placid Pines. Someone stalking the woods wearing a white mask. Pretty soon the body count rises and the suspect list grows...Could the murderer be Trevor Moorehouse or someone completely different?

I wasn't a HUGE fan of the first film, but thought it wasn't a bad attempt at a "killer at camp' slasher. 'Bloody Murder II' definitely amps up the gore in which 'Bloody Murder' severely lacked. We get severed body parts and tons of blood. It's actually pretty brutal stuff. The acting was just average in this one, good efforts from some but poor from others. Katy Woodruff did an good job at the lead character Tracy, but it was nothing spectacular. Stand out performance of the movie goes to unknown Raymond Novarro Smith as funny guy Elvis. He held his own in this one. Where 'Bloody Murder II' succeeds mostly is with it's plot and the killer's identity. It wraps up a lot of what we saw at the end of part one very nicely, and adds to the Trevor Moorehouse story wonderfully.

A flaw with 'Bloody Murder II' is that it fails at logic in some parts. For example, a bunch of the kids have been killed at the camp site, yet the police tell them to stay there? No way in real life would that have happened, and no way would anyone stay in the place that a masked serial killer is stalking. Secondly, why would Tracy go up to the camp in which her problem went missing from years back (and who was supposedly murdered)? It's just a bit strange. I am also not a fan of the ending. It's rushed, it's silly, and they blatantly rip off 'Friday the 13th'. We're talking certain dialogue and scenes, a complete rip off. Nevertheless, 'Bloody Murder II' is worth a watch for horror fans. It's pretty average, but if you enjoy summer camp type horror movies, it's a decent entry.

5/10

It's been five years since Trevor Moorehouse terrorized Camp Placid Pines, piling up bodies like cords of wood and now he returns! Coming to Placid Pines is difficult for Tracy, who's brother, Jason, was one of Trevor's victims near the end of the original. When Tracy's nightmares begin to come true as one by one the counselors are murdered. Someone is hunting them through the pitch-black forest and is determined to kill them all.

After hearing about how bad the first movie is supposed to be, it made me want to see them. You know, to see how bad they really were. I had never gotten the chance to see the first Bloody Murder movie until recently though I had seen Bloody Murder 2 last year. Now that I have seen both I can compare them to one another. This sequel is a step-up in every single way possible compared to its first movie. The killer looks cooler, the acting is better (but still not all that good), the atmosphere is a better (mostly at night time) and they've toned down the many ideas which were stolen from other movies.

Even though this film seems like your typical, low-budget slasher movie there's something about Trevor Moorehouse that kept me thinking. I still don't know if it was actually him doing the killings or someone just trying to imitate him like in the first movie. Either it's intentional or they forgot to clear that up in the second movie, which was probably the case as I doubt the people responsible for this film are rocket scientists. I'll just leave it with a guess, Trevor Moorehouse did it.

If you enjoyed the first film, you can't go wrong with this one. If you didn't like the first film but enjoy slasher movies, give it a try. If you don't like slasher movies in general, don't bother with this.

If you saw the first film and wanted a more bloody version or if you tried watching the first one and couldn't get behind what it lacked in special effects this is the slightly superior sequel for you. Or if you know nothing about either film then this is more or less a stand alone film from the first. Plenty of other reviewers have provided a synopsis so instead I'll go over what the film succeeds and fails at. First the film succeeds at gore effects from the opening kill the gore is good and well crafted. Next the atmosphere is still wonky as in the first but you will get used to it but the tone is slightly improved. Now onto what the film fails at. Surprisingly (or maybe unsurprisingly) the acting is significantly worse in this one. Next the killer looks worse than in the first and looks a bit ridiculous, not a big fan. Next the convoluted twist won't give any details but there is one and it was really dumb also a dues ex machina that makes no sense and comes out of the blue which also doesn't work. The only reason to see this is if you're a hardcore slasher fan and if you're into somewhat gory films. I wouldn't go out of the way to see this and it's funny based upon the first and this sequel where what they succeed and fail at are almost the exact opposite making me scratch my head and wondering if the creators tried to fix the mistakes from the first by switching what they focused on. It is available for free off of YouTube and is free with subscription off of Amazon.

The infamous red-herring Trevor Moorehouse returns for round 2 with "Bloody Murder 2," a beefed up, sexed up sequel to the generally cheesy direct-to-video original. Everything you hated about (or laughed about) the original "Bloody Murder" is rectified here. Whereas the first one had zero gore, this one packs on the red stuff, especially with the first murder, which had me squirming in my seat. There is also an abundance of sex & nudity in general (props to Tiffany Shepis) that help enhance the enjoyment of the movie (don't feel guilty -- these flicks are pretty superficial to begin with). Heck, even the acting is better -- although I wouldn't go as far as to say it was good, just an improvement. The characters may have been a bit shallow, but at least they had some sort of definition. The story revolves around a group of camp-counselors closing up camp and celebrating. Tracy, one of the counselors, is the sister of one of the victims from the original, and her motives for returning are somewhat vague. Just like in the original, people start dropping off one by one, and yet the counselors still feel obliged to stick around and finish their work. The ending is somewhat sketchy and cliched, but overall, "Bloody Murder 2" is a triumph over the original, which was basically just a joke.

7/10

This film was pretty crap in my personal opinion, i thought parts of it were funny just for how ridiculous they seemed to be, but other than that the plot was terrible.

First of all the killer is called Trevor Moorehouse, who apparently killed a young girls brother at a holiday camp a few years earlier, so she decides to work in the same place and then wonders why she has nightmares about it, the whole setting is a cheap low budget rip off of the original Friday the 13th film and the costume is pretty poor and non scary. The title on the DVD i watched was 'Jason Vs Trevor'which for one is a blatant rip off of 'Freddy Vs Jason' and it doesn't even fit in with the idea of the film because the only character called Jason was the dead brother of the main heroine in the film, he is never seen and only mentioned a couple of times and in no way contributes to the overall effect of the film or storyline.

This really is a rushed low budget film and i would only recommend to watch it if your with a lot of friends late at night who really wanna have a good laugh, because really thats all its good for.

It's hard to imagine why anyone would want to make a sequel to a piece of garbage like the first picture, but for some reason they did and, happily, it is much better than the first one. It's amazing what a little nudity and gore will do to improve an otherwise unoriginal slasher flick, but it looks like the producers had enough sense to go for the lowest common denominator on this one with the result of a watchable, albeit generic, slasher flick. Nothing to rave about and the ending is totally stupid, but it delivers the goods for what movies like this are intended for.

This movie was bad. i have seen my share of copy-cat films of "Friday the 13th" and this one is the most obvious about it; even resorting down to using a hockey mask for the killer. the killings are not good and the plot is even worse. this movie is an insult "Friday the 13th". i own this movie and feel that no one should pay full price for this movie like i did.

i have not seen the first "Bloody Murder", but a close friend of mine said that it is no better then the second. do not go through the trouble of getting or watching this movie unless you want to fall asleep like i did.

'Bloody Murder 2: Closing Camp' also known as 'Halloween Camp' is a silly yet fun straight to video sequel to the summer camp slasher flick 'Bloody Murder' from the year 2000. The movie is a prime example of SOV schlock by featuring a basic plot, gory kills and plenty of nudity, and even manages the rare feat of a sequel surpassing its predecessor in almost every way possible thanks to its stronger production values, but even that still doesn't make this a good movie.

The Plot = A group of camp counsellors are terrorized by a masked killer while working at Camp Placid Pines to close it down for the winter, a summer camp that is said to be haunted by a murderous bogeyman Trevor Moorehouse.

There's not a lot to say about this flick as it's basically what you'd expect from a typical straight to video 'Friday the 13th' knock-off, only that it is at the very least more entertaining than the first one which wasn't a hard feat as that movie was very tame. This ups the ante by featuring gorier kills, some ridiculous twists and turns and there's even a couple suspenseful moments here and there that helps make this follow up a hell of a lot of fun. The acting here is still pretty awful except for scream queen Tiffany Shepis who easily leaves the most memorable impression. Sure, the plot is wafer thin, the scares are non-existent, and the horribly written script doesn't do it any favours, but if you're in the mood for some entertaining b-movie fun then you could do a lot worse than this.

Overall 'Bloody Murder 2' is fine for what it is, a typical straight to video cheap slasher flick.

This is not a good movie, duh, but if you love horror movies, and B movies in general, then you will find this an entertaingly bad movie. Lots of really good gore, and some great nudity by Tiffany Shepis who has a body that really should be in hardcore porn. The plot? Oh yea, its just a rip off of Friday the 13th. The mask the killer has on is weird, its not a hockey mask, its more like a ventian mask, its weird, and stupid. I never saw Bloody Murder 1, and it didn't really matter at all. One stupid scene has two camp counslers moving hay from one stack to the next - a total distance of 10 feet, it doesn't make any sense and is very stupid, there, is that 10 lines?
