Bloody Murder 2
The Plot
It's been five years since Trevor Moorehouse terrorized Camp Placid Pines, piling up bodies like cords of wood. But now the counselors must close the camp for the winter - and they are not alone...
The Movie
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 fist 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.
The DVD
Nothing about the DVD surprises me. The picture quality is average, can't always expect perfection from a straight-to-video movie which I think was shot on video instead of film. You also get a 5.1 Dolby Digital audio track for the film, so that's decent I guess.
The extras on this disc are what I like to call "extras for idiots", they're not really extras. The picture gallery is just a bunch of stills taken from the movie, nothing which you can't see by pausing at the right moment in the movie. There are a few theatrical trailers, nothing fancy and also something called "Jump To A Bloody Murder" which they actually surprised me with. With this extra I thought it'd just be a way of watching the death scenes from the featured movie without having to skip ahead but instead it's 3 full scenes of people being killed from the first film. These were the best scenes from the first film, when I say "best" it still doesn't mean they were any good though.
