Red's (Francesca Louise White) travelling the countryside chasing down
serialkillers and slaughtering them thanks to her impressive skills in
fighting and weaponry - but not so much because she's a good girl (in fact
she cares rather little about the actual victims of the killers she's
after) but because she's a woman with a vengeance. So when she on one of
her quests to kill the panda-mask wearing Stripper Killer (David Hon Ma Chu) has to burn down a
strip club and in the process leaves the only surviving stripper Amber
(Luna Wolf) homeless, she couldn't care less. However, eventually Red
finds herself on the run from an organisation, Hexagon, run by the man who
killed her parents and sister, and when they almost get her, it's Amber
who drags her out of harm's way. Apparently, Hexagon has something big and
evil going on, something that involves capturing the maddest of all
serialkillers to incarcerate them and ... well, who knows what. Now
Red's computer girl Luse has found out Hexagon's next victim is to be
Molly (Tiana Rogers), a disabled 11 year old, and now Red and Amber set
out to save her - but find out that she might be the most dangerous
serialkillers of them all, as she can mind-control dolls. But while they
have set their mind at saving Molly, they have somehow underestimated the
threat of Hexagon, and the mere possibility that the organisation might be
going after them ... Perhaps more than any other Mycho-movie
so far, Slasher House 2 is basically a comicbook come to life, and
not only because of its colour scale that's based on bright and primary
colours used in suggestive ways (and masterfully though), but also for its
far-fetched and unrealistic but totally fun plot, it's many unlikely
action scenes, the heroes' and villains's crazy and impracticable but
fetching outfits, the occasional lack of laws of nature, and so on and so
forth ... and at least (but probably not only) if you're into comicbooks,
you'll love the film for it, because while it's certainly not a comedy and
takes itself seriously enough, it's just so much FUN to watch: It's well
paced, there's plenty of action and gore (with a blowjob murder featuring
William Marshall and Janet Haslehurst taking the cake as best murder scene
here), fun oneliners, sexy bits, and a feeling of heightened reality that
fits the script amazingly well. And frankly, despite the title suggests a
slasher movie, no matter if you like slashers or not, if you just want to
be entertained in a comicbooky way (and better than by many an official
comicbook adaptation from late), you really need to watch this! Oh,
and by the way, you'll definitely be surprised how this links to the first
Slasher House - that said,
you don't need to watch that movie to enjoy this one ... but you'll
probably want to see it afterwards it you haven't already!
