Sorority Babes In The Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama 2 Film Review

Horror sequels are a dime a dozen with dozens of them being made each and every year with the same thing even being true for this film. With this film even being the latest long line on legacy sequels with the film even bringing back a few of the original films stars with one of them even being this films director and so then join me as I review the film that takes us to another Bowl-O-Rama with the film in question being called simply just "Sorority Babes In The Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama 2" enjoy.

The plot of this film three some girls and guys are tasked with stealing anything from a random bowling alley with them accidentally unleashing The Imp and now they have to find a way to defeat him once and for all. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad however tho this films plot wasn't all that good as all it was was just a complete and total carbon copy of the first films plot which even then wasn't that good of a plot in the first place which makes you wonder why the makers of this film just chose to straight up copy that films plot beat for beat when surely they could have come up with something that's alot more creative then what we ended up getting as if you've seen the first film then you've good as well seen this film as well as that's just how similar the two plots are with this films plot not even being that strong of a plot in the first place as the plot of this film does keep on disappearing alot of the time so much so that it really does make it harder to tell just what the main plot of the film was even meant to be in the first place and while the makers of this film do get some credit for at least trying to do a sequel to Sorority Babes In The Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama the fact is that all of the charm that that films plot had is gone in this film due to how predictable that this films plot really is in the first place with the plot of this film not even being really rather entertaining and nor is it really rather engaging either in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is Kelli Maroney as Auntie Snake , Michelle Bauer as Lisa and this film director and The Slumber Party Massacre star Brinke Stevens as Taffy. Also tarring in this film is Jessie Gill as Sarah , Audrey Neal as Ginger , Justin Lupo as Dinger , Glory Rodriguez as Bitsy , Nate Blair as Turkey , Katie O'Neill as Tiffany , Hannah Tullett as Devon , Luka Parente as Bart and Derek Jeremiah Reid as the voice of The Imp.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty just OK at best. As while the acting in the first film was really nothing to write home about either the first film had at least some actors in it who you knew could act where as in this film while yes we do have some actor returning from the previous film the film is instead mostly made up of actors who have no idea of what kind of a movie that there starring in and so they play everything straight which ironically makes there performances in this film all the more boring to watch as this is a film that really does require some really over the top acting in order to make the film work in the first place with this being something that the actors of the first movie understood really well and yet it's something that does seem to be lost on the actors in this film and while yes we do get some solid performances in this film with the best example being Kelli Maroney as Auntie Snake and Glory Rodriguez as Bitsy sadly tho alot of the acting in this film just isn't that good and while both Michelle Bauer and Brinke Stevens are good in this film they were better in the previous film with the films best actor being Glory Rodriguez as Bitsy as even tho her character is quite literally just the same as Spider from the first movie she does have alot of charm to her and her performance is solid enough to make it work in the first place with the acting that's in this film not really being helped by the fact that this films script is just so bad as it gives none of this film actors absolutely nothing to work with interms of what it is that there actual characters personalities are even meant to be in he first place which is something that really does harm the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.

While the first film could get away with having bad acting due to having some decent characters this film barely has that going for it. As while this films characters aren't bad persay it's just that there's really nothing to any of these characters which yes is also true for the characters in the original film as well but in that film they had at least some good actors to make you forget about the lack of good characters in the film where as here because of the fact that this film is more focused on reminding you about that first film it forgets to give you characters that aren't even so bad that there good as all of the films characters are just very one dimensional characters that are at best very wooden characters as they have nothing interms of a personality trait with all of the girls just being poor copies of the girls from the first film and all of the guys just being the stereotypical dumb one of the group and even Itsy who is by far the best character in the whole entire as it does feel like that there was some actual effort put into her character doesn't really get much time to fully develop her characters personality and as such she just comes of as being a poor man's Spider something which is not helped by both her name and the fact that it's more then hinted at in the film that Spider is her mother as for the guys none of them are that interesting as characters which again could also be argued is true for the guys in the first film but at least there there was the excuse of the fact that it was the directors second film and was writer Sergei Haseneczs only writing credit ever where as with this film writer Kent Roudebush is an experienced writer and therefor should have known to further develop the characters alot more to make them alot better then the characters in the first film.  

This film does follow the trend that did technically start with Halloween H20 by being a legacy sequel as the film does bring back both Taffy and Lisa from the first film. With the idea of this film being a legacy sequel of sorts doesn't really work all that well for this film just due to the fact that the first film not only wasn't that well known in the first place but also didn't spawn any other sequels and so there's not really much of a fanbase there for this film to begin with whereas with films even as recent as this years dreadful I Know What You Did Last Summer they at the very least had several sequels and enough of a fanbase to really warrant revisiting the original films characters in the first place where as here because of the fact that the first one was just a one and done movie there's really no need to bring back characters from the first movie as we really hadn't had the chance to see how the world of these films reacts to these events and the legends that could come from it that's not to say that making this film a legacy sequel is a bad idea because it's really not in fact it's oddly wise of them to do that as then they could bring back some horror heavyweights which would be sure to get fans of the genre interested in checking out this movie but at the same time to alot of people who love horror might not have watched the first movie in the first place as the film wasn't that big of hit at the box office and instead went to become the cult hit that it was destined to become and therefor it really didn't make sense to make this film a legacy sequel whereas it would have made alot more sense to go the standalone route with this film and have a completely new set of characters and not feature any of the original actors in the film at all.

Unlike the first film this film does put alot more emphasis on the fact that this is a comedy horror film by having alot more jokes then what the first film had. As in the first film what made it funny was how over the top everything eventually became where as here the film does have jokes in it and sadly not only all of the films jokes work as they alot of them just make the female characters look dumb and in one case is just so stupid but with that being said tho when the film does want to tell a good joke it can be pretty decent with it being revealed that Lisa and Taffy have been trapped with The Imp for almost thirty years and have been talking none stop for that amount of time something which was very slowly driving him crazy which was a goo idea as it is something that does feel true to their characters even tho we didn't get to see them talking all that much to each other in the first film however the one joke that is just stupid is the fact that they reveal that Spider's actual lawful first name is Spider with Auntie Snake also being called Snake which is just so stupid as they both sound more like nicknames then actual first names at least with Itsy her name does kind of go with having a spider like name so it does kind of come across as being funny but it a cute kind of way where as revealing someone's lawful name is Spider is just stupid and while yes they do explain it away by having Snake say that there parents where big into animals it doesn't make that joke reveal any less stupid as anyone called Spider or having any dumb lawful first name like that would change it to literally anything else due to the fact that they would have been getting bullied as a kid for having a dumb first name.

It's not all doom and gloom for this film tho as there some very small hints of a good or even perhaps watchable film to be found in this film. Like the fact that right from the title you know right away just what kind of a film that your in for and so you know not to go into this film with super high expectations and the fact that the both the make up effects and the animation on The Imp do look really good with it actually looking like that both the actors and The Imp were actually in the same scene in this film however tho this film is sadly filled with far two much bad things tho as the film is way more focused on recreating elements from the first film that it forgets just what it was that made those elements work so well in the first place with the film also being very of the time as the writing for the female characters is very much the kind of writing that you saw in the post covid and post Metoo era were it was all about making sure that you knew that the female characters were strong characters without actually giving us the audience a reason to like them in the first place and with this film kind of being a throw back to eighties cult hit films where the writing for the female characters was never that good in the first place it makes it odd that in this film they would do something like that when that's not something that works in any kind of film whatsoever as all it does is date your film right away and while the film does have some really good looking make up effects that doesn't make up for the fact that the makers of this film don't really give us the audience a reason to actually care about the characters and want to see them make it out of the film alive and well.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and two minuets and twenty five seconds. Which is pretty much the exact grand total running time for any Full Moon Features film these day but at the same time tho this is a film that really could have been at the very least ten or twenty minuets longer as while the film has the right amount of plot there to cover it's current running time it also can't use it's running time all that wisely as the plot of the film isn't that well developed and can't be that well developed due to the fact that it has to rush along to it's next plot point whereas if the film did have a slightly longer running time then it would allot for the film to take the time that it really did need in order to further develop it's plot with the fact that this film has a short running im even effecting it's characters as the film can't develop it's characters either whereas if the film was longer then it would allow for the characters to get some actual character develop since as things stand none of that can happen as the film has to rush along to it's next plot point and that does come at the expense of having a well developed plot and well developed characters when it would have made more sense for the makers of this film to put just as much effort into developing the plot of the film and the films characters then into giving us jokes that just aren't funny as if the film did have a well developed plot and well developed characters then they could get some positive word of mouth from people which would then result in more people buying the film in the first place but I really will admit that this film really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now then as this is a horror film that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally tought / felt that the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty really bad. As there really aren't that many creative kills in this film this is despite the fact that the premise of the film really does allow for some really creative kills to happen and yet outside of one kill where a guys gets turned into a giant wrapper and then eaten by The Imp but that's really it as the rest of the films kills are either just repeats of kills from the previous film or are just badly done kills with the only decent kill and therefor the films best kill being the one where a guy gets turned into a giant wrapper and then eaten by The Imp as while yes it's a cheesy effect to see in the film it's also a kill that does show that the makers of this film know that they have permission to do these really creative kills and yet for some odd reason it's only in this one kill where they get the chance to be creative with a character getting killed by being hit over the head with a bowling pin and another character getting killed by the man of her dreams both of which are just really uninspired kills and while this might be due to the fact that the film might not have had a big budget in the first place which if that was the case then it is understandable why the film doesn't have that many actually good kills in the first place but it still would have been nice if the film did have alot more really creative kills in it in the first place in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. 

Overall it really doesn't need saying but yeah this film really is a bad film as it fails to recapture the spirit and tone of the original this is despite the fact that this film does have two of the stars from the original film in this one with this film not even being a film that's so bad that it's good as it's just a really bad film in my freaking opinions anyways / at least, Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that really does mean that this film really does earn itself a gran old score of exactly a 3 out of 10 from me.

Now ten as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Tenor , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because Google Images actually has images from this film really are up and on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all really very fairly high quality and as well as being as really very fairly high definition as well and so then horror fans we end this review as we always do with really our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams.

Sorority Babes In The Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama Film Review

Horror films come in all shapes and sizes with alot of them being big screen releases that become mainstream. However the film that i'm going to be talking to you all about today is the exact opposite as this is a film that really is pretty much a direct to VHS movie and really is the very definition of a cult film and so then join me as in review the film that ring three iconic horror actors together in one film with the film in question being called simply just "Sorority Babes In The Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama" enjoy.

The plot of this film is when a group of teen break into a bowling ally to try and steal a trophy they find themselves in for the fight for their lives they accidentally unleash and evil imp from one of the trophies. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad which is something that's to be expected as this film was made on a really small budget and is basically a direct to VHS movie and those typically don't have good plots to them with this films plot being as good as it was ever going to be given the fact that the script was written in just ten days and only had one draft written which is something that might explain why this films plot is a bit all over the place and isn't that well focused as the plot of the film does disappear for large portions of the film which does make it hard to tell just what the plot of the film is meant to be alot of the time with this not really being helped by the fact that this plot isn't that strong of a plot both of which are things that could have been fixed if there were more rewrites to the script as that would then allow for the plot of the film to be alot more focused and for it to be alot more stronger of a plot but on the flip side of that is this films plot is wonderfully cheesy and campy and over the top which is something that does add to the overall cult like nature of the film with the plot of this film also being really rather entertaining and as well as being really rather engaging as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Starring in this film is horror legend Linnea Quigley as Spider , Andras Jones as Calvin and Robin Rochelle as Barbara "Babs" Peterson. Also starring in this film is Carla Baron as Frankie , Kathi O'Brecht as Rhonda , John Stuart Wildman as Keith , Hal Havins as Jimmie , Brinke Stevens as Taffy , Michelle Bauer as Lisa , Dukey Flyswatter as the voice of Uncle Impie and George "Buck" Flower as The Janitor.

Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. With this films acting being as good as it was ever going to be as nobody would have expected this film to have good or even great acting in it due to it's title alone but that's exactly what we get in this film with this films actors turning in the best possible performance that they could have done given the plot of the film and he fact that this film was filmed in a whopping twelve days which means that there's pretty much to time to do a take two and that is something that does really show through in the film as alot of the acting in this film does feel like the kind of acting that you'd see in the first take of any movie and while this films actors do the best job that they could have done with the material that was handed to them this films acting would have been greatly improved if they were given the time to do a take two as then the actors would be able to turn in some more better performances with the best actor in this film being Linnea Quigley as while all of the films actors know full well that there in a bad film she seems to be one of the few actors in the film that are actually trying to turn in a better then OK performance whilst also quite clearly having the time of her life being in this film with the acing that's in this film not really being helped by the fact that this films script is just so bad as it gives none of this films actors absolutely nothing to work with interms of what it is that there actual characters personalities are even meant to be in the first place which is something that really does effect the overall quality of the acting that's in this very film.

This film does fair a little bit better when it comes to there characters as the films characters are somewhat memorable but not for the right reasons tho. As while the characters are decently well done there still one dimensional characters only now it's pushed to the extreme which does make these characters laughable like take for example Spider all we really know about her as a character is that she's the films touch girl character and that's it and it's something that the film takes great pride in showing us every single time that she's on screen to the point where that becomes her sole personality and it's the same thing for all of the films characters where they all get one personality trait which the film then pushes so far to the extreme that it makes these characters feel more like cartoon characters due to the fact that we get to find out literally nothing else about of this films characters which to be does make these characters somewhat memorable but it's not in the way that you'd want them to be as while yes granted you do find yourselves routing for the characters that your supposed to like and hating the characters that your supposed to hate you do also find yourself laughing at the characters alot more then you cheering for them which is something that does add to this films more cult like nature and it is something that does make what could have been seen as being a really bad film now come across as being a film that's still bad but it's also pretty enjoyable due to how bad that pretty much everything in the film as there is clear effort gone into making this film and it is something that does shine through in the final cut of the film but at the same time tho none of that effort went into making this films characters memorable in the way that you'd want them to be memorable.

As was mentioned at the very start of this review this film did become a cult hit and it's not that hard to see why. As everything about this film from the choice of it's main actors to even it's title does scream cult film and to this films credit it does fully know that it's not going to be a hit film and therefor does have alot more fun with itself because of it with even the characters as one dimensional as they are in the film are still some pretty characters that have some pretty fun and more often then not funny scenes and while you can quite tell that the actors in this film are never in the same shot as The Imp despite them being in the exact same scene it is something that whilst it does make the film look cheap it does also add to the overall cult like nature of the film with this film even being such a cult hit that it spawned a knock off film in 1991 called Sorority Babes In The Dance-A-Thon of Death and just a few shorts years ago spawned a sequel called Sorority Babes In The Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama 2 which is something that the film might not have been able to do if it was the more traditional hit film but due to the fact that this film is nothing more then a campy film with a title that does make it clear as day that this was never going to be a hit film the film was able to find it's own audience with it being that audience that helped to make it the cult film that it is today with this being something that does go to show you that you don't need to be a good film to be remembered as sometimes all you need is a stupid title and a stupid plot and that's something that this film does have with the title of the film even making it standout among all of the other direct to VHS horror movies out there just due to how eye catching that the title alone really is.

Out of this film and Nightmare Sisters it's fair to say that whilst Nightmare Sisters was the better overall film this one was the one that was most fun film to watch. As you can tell right from the very start of this movie that this films writer and director David DeCoteau knew that he was making a film that was going to be fun and therefor he just went nuts with the film with him making a film that whilst it's not as good as Nightmare Sisters is this one is still that's fun to watch due to the fact that it does look like that everybody else is on the joke with that being something that does make the film all the more  fun to watch with everyone who was making this film quite clearly having a blast with it so much so that all three leading ladies returned for the sequel with really the only thing that's really letting this film down being the fact that it doesn't take fully advantage of it's bowling alley setting as we barely get to see much of the bowling alley itself and when we do get to see it it's usually just the stuff that you'd usually see and nothing behind the scenes which makes having a horror film be set mostly in a bowling alley all the more pointless as that does limit the kind of creative kills that you could do with these characters given it's unique setup and villain but at the same time tho given that they could only afford to film at the bowling alley at night and that's really it that might have been the reason as to why we only really saw the bowling lanes and not much else as the rest of it might have been locked up but it is something that does make you wonder what the makers of this film would have done if they did get back to wear the pins are loaded for example or if they did go behind the scenes of the bowling alley instead of them going behind the scenes of the mall that the bowling alley is housed in which is still a great idea but at the same time you do still want to see more of the titular bowl-o-rama and not the building that's being housed in.

Given the title of this film this film is of a course a horror comedy with the makers of this film actually putting just as much effort into the horror aspect of the film then they did the comedy aspect of the film. It's just a shame then that the films comedy isn't that good with the film having jokes that you can see coming a mile away with the only somewhat decent joke being the slight running gag that the film has early on where these three girls just keep on knocking this poor Janitor into the same room all without each of them seeing the other which is a good little running joke and was one that could have carried on all throughout the film however tho the film for no apparent reason drops that joke in favor of the Janitor being kind of a death person who just winds up annoying Spider alot of the time as he comes to the same conclusion that she's been trying to tell him for a good while which don't get me wrong is a decent joke but it's not as good as the previous running joke with the same character was as at least with that joke you could pass it from character to character and it would still feel fresh and different but here because of the fact that the makers of this film stuck him with the only capable character in the film there kind of running joke is one that does start to get old realm fast even more so when you realise that the running joke with Spider and the Janitor gets in the way of Spider's pudding relationship with Calvin and it's like that with alot of the films jokes with the films jokes at best being OK to average jokes but nothing special and at worst being just downright unfunny but to this films credit they did know to keep it fairly balanced and didn't really lean to far into either aspect which given this films title is something that they very easily could have done.

Now then this film has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly one hour and nineteen minuets and forty two seconds. Which to be fair to this film is pretty much the exact grand total running time that you'd expect a film like this one to have with the film even having the right amount of plot there to really cover that amount of running time and while yes this film really doesn't use it's running time all that wisely by not developing ether it's plot or it's characters this is the kind of the film that really doesn't need either of those things for it to work in the first place as this film is nothing more that a trashy horror comedy that knows exactly what it is and that's a bad movie which to be fair is sometimes just all you want from a movie as while yes it would have helped this film out quite alot if it did have a more developed plot as that would make the plot of the film all the more interesting then what it already is and if the films characters were more developed as that would not only make them more interesting as characters but it would also give us the audience more of a reason to route for these characters outside of the basic one of them is the good guy and the other's the bad guy this is the type of the film that really doesn't require any of that and to this films credit it does work on it's own merit as while yes granted this film is a trashy horror comedy it's also a fun and campy movie that knows exactly what it is and really isn't afraid of being the kind of bad movie that it already knows that it is which is something that dies make this film all the more to watch because of it but I really will admit that this film really does have some really good pacing to it tho.

So now the as this is a horror film that really does mean that I have to actually talk about the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual kills that are actually featured / presented to us in this very film was in all honesty not that bad. However tho this is a bad thing as the films kills just aren't that good either with alot of them being rather plain and boring to watch with none of them really taking as full advantage of the films supernatural aspect as they really could have done which is something that could come down to one of two things the first one being the fact that The Imp is stop motion animated and therefor really can't do all that much in the first place and the second might just be the fact that this film most likely had a really small budget in the first place and therefor the films kills can't be as good as they perhaps would have been should the film have had a much more larger budget in the first place either way it is something that does prevent all of this films kills from being good or memorable with the film not even having a single good kill in it as while alot of the films are indeed creative and fun to watch in the film as there all lacking that extra special something that makes them good in the first place with the only thing that would have made any of this films kills better was if the film actually took full advantage of it's supernatural aspect by having The Imp himself actually be the one to kill people and not have him control two or three girls and have them kill them for him which while it's a solid idea it is one that does hold the films kills back from being as good as they really could have been in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.

Overall it really hard to fully judge this film s while yes it is a really bad film no one will ever deny that but it's also a film that's so bad that it's good with the things that make it bad also being the things that make it fun to watch in the first place with this film being a really campy film that knows that's bad film and really isn't afraid to be exactly that which does also help to make the film fun to watch as well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very film in this very review and as such that really does mean that this very film really does earn itself a grand old score of exactly a 5 out of 10 from me.

Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in tis very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Tenor , IMP Awards . Com and Google Images. With my personally preferred website to use to get images from this film being Google Images simply because Google Images actually has images from this film really are up and on Google Images and plus pretty much much all of the images that I personally found on Google Images were all really very fairly high quality and as well as being as really very fairly high definition as well and so then horror fans we end this review as we always do with really our one and true goddess Elvira wishing us all some really very unpleasant dreams.
