1990 - 84m.

Director Fred Olen Ray strikes again with another cheap exploitation horror-comedy, only this time it's not as watchable as some of his others managed to be (I'm talking mostly of Evil Toons).

You know you're in trouble when the opening titles quote Edgar Alan Poe's "long lost" brother Ted and the quote has to do with bouncing breasts, but things get even more ridiculous as the opening sequence introduces us to three sorority sisters who apparently not only enjoy pulling practical jokes on each other, but they also like to walk around in their underwear and paddle each other on their rumps while topless.

But soon they find that all their ribbing and picking-on of a nerdy pledge (Veronica Carothers, who not only looks good but is the best thing here showing some good charisma) could've been a wrong move as she makes a deal with the Devil (Robert Vaughn, who along with co-star Priscilla Barnes must've been slumming) that transforms her into a sexy, lingerie wearing babe who just so happens to transform into a rubbery creature from time-to-time and knock-off her tormentors.

This one is certainly goofy, but it's not in a good way as it's packed with lots of juvenile antics, a whole bunch of groanable moments, and it's completely lacking in plot. Heck, even B-movie favourite Michelle Bauer and bunches of naked skin can't make this worthwhile, and that's saying a lot.

If you're a fan of low-brow, low-quality flicks then maybe you'll want to see this, others shouldn't bother. (Chris Hartley, 3/17/05)
