I used to kick myself for not getting that disc with 2 and 3 on it. I finally watched 2 for the first time on Prime the other day. Looks like I had a lucky escape all these years.

SPM is possibly my favorite 80's slasher so I've down for this release. So glad I didn't spring for the steelbook. I already own enough copies of these films.
I've tried dozens of times to like SPM2 and I'll try again but I really hate it. The killer is awesome and I dig the camp. The problem I have is that it takes almost an hour before the killing starts and it's one the most chaste slashers of the era. Two of the girls have done nudity before (one is a Playboy Playmate) and yet they stay covered up. And Crystal Bernard takes a bath with her bra on. It's not befitting the original which is shame because I love the rockabilly killer and that guitar. IMO, the sequel to SPM is Sorority House Massacre 2 and it desperately needs an HD release.
I've only seen SPM3 a few times. The first time I hated it, but it gets better each time. Properly set expectations can make it worthwhile.Last edited by Jason C; 12-06-2022, 12:29 PM.

Meh. I think it's wildly overrated, both in terms of its cleverness and its kills. Ugly girls too.

You had me at "Brinke Stevens in her prime."
Actually, I've seen the entire trilogy, and I only really liked the first. The sequels were simply badly acted retreads. I think because all three were directed by women that this explains a lack of female nudity, for the most part. The first director had some nudity at the start, then there isn't any more (if I recall right). The lead in part 2 taking a bath with her bra on reminds of Mareen Jensen in Deadly Blessing taking a bath in a black bikini. Of course, Wes Craven had a body double do some nudity prior to Jensen getting in the tub. Still, if you are looking for decent slashers that sort of tie-in to the first movie, check Jim Wynorski's Sorority House Massacre II and Hard to Die.

And she's just one of the girls that I listed. Two of the lead girls aren't what I'd call classically beautiful, but none are ugly and I find quite a few of the women to be very nice looking. A few are quite stunning even.Last edited by Jason C; 12-07-2022, 12:54 PM.

I'll give you Andree Honore, she's hot. I'm sure the girls would've been more typically hot if it was a Wynorski or a Ray directing as opposed to a female director who cared more about the acting than the looks.Why would anybody watch a scum show like Videodrome? Why did you watch it, Max?

And I am a pig. It's rare that a slasher doesn't have a decent tit shot or two. But its very rare to find a slasher that even bothers get some quality shots of a beautiful female ass. SPM is in cinema's Ass Hall of Fame with that shot of Brinke in the shower and Jean's double denim.Last edited by Jason C; 12-07-2022, 01:03 PM.

Well said. I was joking about staring at the repair lady's ass, though. It was an attempt at irony, considering what these films are supposed to represent to some people (namely feminism) which I've always found a bit of a stretch. It may have been intended as some kind of feminist statement, but it doesn't come across well at all.
I'm sorry if it sounded like I was accusing you of being a pig. You're a dude and I'm a dude and we both know that we'd bang every girl that's appeared in the entire SPM franchise if given the chance.Why would anybody watch a scum show like Videodrome? Why did you watch it, Max?
