In honor of Mayoween, I know present you with my second Guest Post for The Moon is a Dead World.  You can view it at this link or below.
Mondo Bizarro here once again with a bit of '80s Slasher Crap.  You never do seem to run out of these, even when you consider that they obviously stopped making it.  Well, aside from the Hatchet Films anyways.  It is time to put on your smallest lingerie and screech as you enter the Sorority House Massacre II...
This is a Jim Wynorski Film (he does alot of Sequels!), so we don't exactly get a complex plot to work with.  A Sorority (of like four people) buy up a new House.  They got it super-cheap, so I'm sure that it is great!
As it turns out, a bunch of murders happened at the House.  Here's the rub: it wasn't the murders from the previous Film!  No, it is a bunch of different murders!  A man went crazy and killed his family, only to be killed.  Joy- it's The Amityville Horror Case.
Just to make things extra silly, we get the world's most obvious Red Herring ever.  I'm not sure if this is supposed to be a joke or not.
That night, the ladies strip down to their totally-natural lingerie and hang around the house.  When they split up, some of them start to get killed by an unseen killer.

Is it the evil Neighbor?  No, of course not.

In fact, it is not something else that might be logical- like say the survivor of the original killings- or paranormal- like the killer's ghost.  No, it is actually one of Sorority Girls *possessed* by the Killer when they used a Ouija Board briefly earlier.
Oh and just to make things really silly, the Neighbor is stabbed, choked and shot a dozen times...but lives.  He'll be in the next sort-of Sequel.  Maybe next Mayoween.  The End.

This is just silly now.  To be fair, it is a Jim Wynorski Film.  I don't hate the guy, but he has never made what would be considered a 'great' film.  He either makes utter shit Films (like Pirahnaconda), softcore Porn Films (like The Witches of Breastwick) or Films that turn out to be goofy fun (like Deathstalker 2).  This is kind of a mix of the first and the last actually.  If it was all ladies in lingerie being chased around by a man in a mask/helmet/hood, it might have been more fun.  Unfortunately, once the carnage starts, you realize that they are going to pull a Twist Ending on you.  Why keep not showing the killer?  There's no misdirection or trickery- they are just not showing you the person.  Given that the only possible person they set up is obviously not the Killer, it is a given where this goes.  So it is not clever and it takes away from what could be fun.  This is a great example of how NOT to use Twist Endings.  Aside from this bit of bad Writing, it is everything you expect from a Movie with this Title.  I'll leave you with a rare case of the Title Line being given in a Newspaper...
That concludes my Guest Reviews for Mayoween.

Here's something new.  I posted a Guest Review over at The Moon is A Dead World as part of the Mayoween Special Blogathon.  Check it out at the link here or read it below as well.
We here over at Mondo Bizarro focus on the weird, wild and forgotten.  Today's film is such a creature: Sorority House Massacre.  Note that I didn't say that it wasn't forgotten for a reason...
Sorority House Massacre tells the tale of a massacre that happened at a Sorority House.  I suppose that there is some more to the story.  The condensed version is about as effective though.  The tale starts out weakly-enough by showing the Final Girl (as if you couldn't spot her) in a Hospital and proceeding to tell the tale.
There is, of course, no narration and things happen that she couldn't possibly know, so we're off to a great start.  It all relates to her brother.  He's crazy.

Any questions so far?
He killed their family years ago, but she survived.  We know this pretty much right away, as it is quite apparent.  If you didn't get it, they drag this Plot Thread out for the first 2/3 of the film.  Enjoy that one.
After we get the 'everyone establishes their character bits, we eventually get the killer arriving.  They have to keep this 'interesting,' so he kills a few random people on his way.

Our dumb-as-brick heroes eventually wander around, followed by running around scared.  Many are killed.
They throw a few tricks at you, but this is all pretty cliche.  By 1986 (when this came out), much better films have done this better.  Corman's company is behind this one, so cliche is pretty much expected though.
To round out the cliche, the two remaining girls battle the killer and seemingly take him down.  Our heroine is suddenly confronted by her evil brother again...but it is a dream.  Sound familiar?  The End.
The Film is really not that great.  It is a pretty clear definition of what a 'by the book' Slasher Film.  That book, of course, is Halloween.  This is a pretty shameless rip-off, obviously.  There is no Dr. Loomis here, only an ineffectual Psychologist who finds out about what is happening far too late.  I guess that's supposed to be ironic, but she might as well not be here.  Our Final Girl is alright, but nothing special.  It is kind of a telling sign that she has 6 Acting Credits, but continues to work in Film/TV...as a Prop Designer.  I'm not knocking her for it- it is just a fact!  In spite of this film's utter lack of originality, style and just general charm, it has a Sequel- kind of.  I'll get to that one next.  I will leave you with the film's best feature- the VHS Box Art...
I've got a Review of the Film's Sequel coming up shortly as well.  You'll see it here once it is posted there.
