"Bloody Murder 2" at least manages to have a more accurate title than the first film in this franchise did. By that, I mean that the kills in this aging direct-to-video slasher film are gory. The kills are creative and kind of weird. Perhaps had this had a theatrical release in the 80s it could have become a cult classic. It's also the first slasher movie I've seen with an extended segment where someone watches a computer video.
The story takes place at Placid Pines Campground five years after the events of the first film. It's a complete retread including the "bloody murder" game and jump scare of the first movie. This time the camp counselors are closing the camp at the end of summer. A mystery slasher person starts killing everyone for seemingly no reason and then the slasher conventions play out. Tiffany Shepsis' lovely appearance as the promiscuous female victim adds a level of eroticism to the movie that makes it a good candidate for date night. The sex scenes have a level of realism to them as does her figure that you wouldn't see in heyday slasher.
The villain, Trevor Millhouse, looks really stupid even when compared to his original look in the first film. The "costume" is just a normal jacket and pants with a Spirit Halloween mask. There was no effort to maintain his appearance between films and the poster on IMDb doesn't present him as he actually looks. His role in the story is also weird. Once again, in a twist anyone can see coming, Trevor isn't the primary antagonist but he's also in the movie? Both of the Bloody Murder films weirdly suppress Trevor Millhouse as a legend in what should have been his own story. Friday the 13th did this too... in part 5 when ideas were running out.
This is not a memorable or necessary movie at all. The biggest reason to see it is that you're a big slasher fan looking for something you haven't seen. In that vein, I suppose it's worth watching on the Lionsgate DVD sets or free on Tubi.
