Spoiler shield

Five college women buy the old Hokstedter place for their new sorority house. They got it cheap because of the bloody incidents from five years before. They decide to stay in it for the night so they can meet the movers in the morning, but begin to get the creeps when the weird neighbor Orville Ketchum starts poking around. Shortly after the women take showers and consult a Ouija board they begin experiencing an attrition problem.

Entertaining one-dimensional slasher with dubious acting and a wink of camp Five college gals apprehend a sorority house in Los Angeles at low-price due to its infamous past and immediately go about fixing it up. The first night they foolishly play with a Ouija board and members start dying. Who’s doing the killing since the mass murderer died in the first film? "Sorority House Massacre II" (1990) is less amateurish compared to the first film and adds camp & sexploitation, but only in the sense of female attractiveness and tame nudity, not sex. Speaking of which, this flick is a celebration of the beauty of women masquerading as a slasher. Some might argue that it degrades women, and I can understand this perspective since some of the protagonists die in the typical slasher manner, but the movie is stressing that they have to rise to the challenge in a life-or-death situation if they want to survive, which smacks of the proverbial girl power. While the story is overly one-note to be very compelling everything builds to an effective last act. It’s an entertaining spooky ‘B’ flick for Halloween that walks the balance beam between too serious and too goofy. The director is the prolific Jim Wynorski, a student of Roger Corman known for myriad ‘B’ flicks of varied genres, some surprisingly good (“Gargoyle” from 2004), some bad (“Camel Spiders”) and some amusing schlock (“The Hills Have Thighs”). The effective no-name female cast features: Gail Harris (Linda), Stacia Zhivago (Kimberly), Barbii (Suzanne), Bridget Carney (Candy), Savannah aka Shannon Wilsey (Satana), Dana Bentley (Janey), Melissa Moore (Jessica) and Toni Naples aka Karen Chorak (Sgt. Shawlee). Needless to say, if softcore female nudity offends you, I suggest skipping this. The film runs 1 hour, 17 minutes, and was shot in Venice, Los Angeles (interiors of house) and 2200 S Harvard Blvd, Los Angeles (exteriors). GRADE: B-/C+

Which one was this? I can't really remember. I do, however, know it was the movie where they hire a lot of women and require them all to take their clothes off. I recall a shower scene in there somewhere. And then I remember the women running around screaming in undies that are really only worn in the bedroom. Was there a plot? Not really, it was just an excuse for nudity and undies. But, you already knew all of that when you sat down to watch this. Because, honestly in film making, they aren't really trying to pass it off as anything other than an excuse to film young naked breasts and you don't really get anything but that. So, why are you reading this? You know exactly what this movie is about. You knew that before you even clicked on this review. But, at least the review is as honest as the movie. If you are expecting more than that, there is something seriously wrong with you.
