Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama 2

Right, well I figured that a movie with a title such as "Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama 2" would be a corny movie when I sat down to watch it here in 2023. And it should be noted that I hadn't 1988 "Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama" movie, so I didn't know what I was in for here.

And seeing that it was a movie from Full Moon Features and that Charles Band was the executive producer, surely there was a chance of it being a fair watch?

However, writers Sergei Hasenecz and Kent Roudebush failed to deliver a script and storyline that offered much of any entertainment to me. Sure, it was as corny as I had anticipated, and that could potentially have been a good thing, but the overall feel of the movie just failed to capture my interest.

And it didn't really help that the imp itself was so awful to look at. It was so painstakingly obvious just an inarticulate hand puppet, and that didn't exactly make things better. Especially not when Full Moon Features have managed to churn out numerous "Puppet Master" movies with way better effects than what was seen in this 2022 horror comedy from director Brinke Stevens.

I was't familiar with the cast ensemble, though I have to say that Kelli Maroney and Brinke Stevens did look familiar. However, I cannot remember in what movies I have seen them before.

Visually then "Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama 2" wasn't a great experience.

I am sure that there is an audience out there for a movie such as "Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama 2". However, I just wasn't a part of that particular target audience.

My rating of "Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama 2" lands on a three out of ten stars.

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.

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 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.
