Once again young adults are being killed by a masked figure, this time in a film school setting.

!!This film has the examples of:

* BadBadActing: Sandra. She was supposedly so bad that she couldn't make it in a porn film.
* BuryYourGays: [[spoiler: Vanessa is hanged from the bell tower.]]
* TheCameo: [[spoiler:Brenda, killer of the first film,]] appears in the ending to greet the killer who has been confined to the mental hospital.
* ChekhovsGun: A literal gun. [[spoiler: Reese tells Amy that she got her gun gold plated to match Pam Grier's in ''Film/{{Coffy}}''. At the end this information helps her find the real gun in a pile of props]].
* EvilIsPetty: The villain's whole reason for killing all those people? [[spoiler:The school picked their film project instead of his.]]
* FinalGirl: [[spoiler:Amy survives, and becomes an actress. Downplayed in that she isn't the only survivor]].

%%* LipstickLesbian: Vanessa.
* MenacingStroll: The killer does this while chasing Amy to the prop room.
* NeedleInAStackOfNeedles: During the final confrontation with the killer, two real guns are dropped and a prop rack knocked over, scattering ''dozens'' of realistic-looking fake pistols over the floor. Everybody snatches up what they can and hopes like mad that they got one of the functional weapons, [[spoiler: but it's only Amy who does]].
