Meurtre Sanglant 2

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.

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.

BLOODY MURDER 2: CLOSING CAMP is not just a sequel to the inferior original. It's also a sort of neo-slasher take on / near-parody of FRIDAY THE 13TH PART 2. It's got the remote camp setting, the gaggle of hormonally-driven victims, and the masked murderer.

However, this movie's greatest strength is Tiffany Shepis, who gets a lot of screen time and who's character, Angela is actually interesting. Of course, it's not long before she's showing off her lovely birthday suit which only adds to the wonderment.

Gorehounds should be in ecstasy with this movie, since the gushy red stuff flows freely and the body count is high...

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

I did not particularly like the first Bloody Murder film. I rented this hoping maybe it would be an improvement, and it was! The first 15 minutes of Bloody Murder 2 are a little lame, but it gets much better as the plot progresses and has quite a few plot twists. It's still no Friday The 13th (at least the first 8), but it's better than the average horror films of recent memory.

I also liked the fact that they used a HORROR MUSIC SCORE instead of that lame happy pop music junk that seems to be in every mainstream horror film lately. That really ruins the essence of a what a horror film should be, and hopefully the pop music fad in horror is dying off.

Bloody Murder 2 won't win any awards, but it's a well done little B-slasher film.
