There were a ton of cheap SOV sexy horror flicks that filled the video shelves in the late eighties. This is similar to Night of the Living Babes from the same year in style and self-aware camp. I could watch these damn things all day. Unless you watch this, it may not make sense, but the best way I can describe this is if HG Lewis made movies in the eighties as he did in the sixties. Just a ton of fun.
Deedee: "Is your mom on the rag again?"Hillary: "Are you kidding? She's never been off it."
The two friends are pledges at the Gamma Zeta Beta sorority where Stephanie (Sheila Best) likes to be called "madame president".
The initiation will consist of dressing like hookers, picking up johns and bringing them back to an abandoned house. Hilary agrees - she's desperate to get it in to GZB.
Back at home, Hilary continues to get shit from her mother. Her sister Beth squeals on her, saying that she's going out with Rob. To which her mother responds:
"Ron? Isn't he the one they kicked out of pre-med school? Something about giving free abortions to the cheerleaders?"
Darrell (Donald Trimborn) is a total weirdo, and seems old. Bruce would never have a friend like this.
Bruce and his friends roll up. Bruce thinks his girlfriend has become a prostitute, but Hilary explains.
Hilary has a great idea. Stephanie doesn't know Bruce's two friends. So, they can pretend they're the johns, and take them to the address of the abandoned mansion.
So, Deedee and Hilary take Darrell and Dwight (Matt Borlenghi) to the mansion.. which happens to be the same mansion the cannibal hookers live in.
The detective shoots Lobo. Note that there are two endings to this film - so, I guess it was one of those "interactive" films on VHS?
I include this picture because I'm sometimes asked how I know the actresses' names in these movies, when even the big identifier sites don't know or get them wrong. The answer, nine times out of ten, is just watch the damn credits. So many of these movies have a more detailed credit list at the end than is listed on IMDb. Plus, as with this film, they often even show the actresses. So, there's that.
Anyway, this movie fucking ruled. It's so "eighties", I just can't describe how eighties this movie is. The hair, the clothes, the slang, the music... and it made me so damn nostalgic of when I lived in Southern California in the late eighties. But nostalgia aside, this movie had cannibal hookers for chrissakes! It would be so much fun to watch at an Alamo Drafthouse with a crowd; one of the most entertaining films I've seen in a while.
★★★★★★★★★☆9/10
