When I stumbled upon this sequel, I had never seen, let alone heard of the wonderfully titled Curse of the Pink Panties. Since I couldn’t find the original streaming anywhere, I went ahead and watched this one. Not seeing the first film in a series has never stopped me from checking out its sequel in the past. Why should I stop now?
A woman tries on a pair of haunted panties and is unable to take them off. As it turns out, the undies are possessed by the ghosts of some dead criminals. She is then kidnapped by an evil villainess who wants to control the ghosts for her own devious purposes. Meanwhile, two girls who survived the Curse of the Pink Panties in the first film launch an unsuccessful web show about their paranormal experiences. The bad chick eventually kidnaps them too and wants to use their expertise to help harness the ghosts’ energy. Our heroine’s boyfriend then turns to a busty psychic for help.
The effects for the spirits of the men who haunt the panties are terrible. They are nothing more than green-screened faces superimposed over a shot of women’s underwear. Since these scenes are neither funny nor sexy, one would have to assume that the director had a fetish for seeing men’s faces crudely inserted onto a woman’s bikini area. Why else would anyone make two movies on the subject, let alone one?
There are also way too many subplots and characters that bog things down. It might’ve helped if I saw the first movie, but this one is just saddled with too much rigmarole. It should be said that while nearly all the ladies in the cast are smoking hot, none of them remove the titular panties (or their bras as a matter of fact). This chaste aura does nothing to help the film as the running time clocks in at an extremely bloated one-hundred-and-eight-minutes. I’m not saying nudity could’ve salvaged this mess, but it would’ve taken some of the sting out of it, that’s for sure. Heck, even if it was a half-hour shorter, it still would’ve been a chore to sit through (especially the finale featuring the overweight guy running around in lingerie).
AKA: Snatched!
