This really looked like a fun cult classic, something that may be characterized as Troma-lite. It has the classic 80s comedy creativity (evident by a great title), complete with the ritual of stereotypical nerds and lots of gratuitous nudity.
The story is that of two bubbly girls going through some half-assed sorority initiation (which includes a strange five-minute spanking fetish and a whip scream spray down) for an even more half-assed sorority (three members in a whole sorority and only two pledges). Three bored college guys decide to spy on them, and are caught. Their punishment is that they have to join the two pledges in their final initiation: to break into the bowling alley and steal a trophy.
And this is where are the trouble begins because hidden inside the trophy (and accidentally unleashed) is an evil imp who was trapped in there after killing people thirty years ago. And, if these idiot college kids should've learned anything in their lifetime, it's not to accept gifts from strangers. Because, the seemingly benign imp grants the greediest of them wishes, which they accept against the warnings of one of the guys. And, soon enough, their wishes suddenly turn into a deranged nightmares. One nerd guy, with the help of a rough blonde who they met while she was breaking into the bowling alley, they'll try to recapture the imp and reseal him once and for all.
These are the kind of movies where the filmmakers know they're going to be bad, so they can have some fun in that. The humor comes from the movie being so ridiculously melodramatic or absurd in the first place. (See "Assault of the Killer Bimbos"). But, at least for me, I think there was far too much idiocy and bad acting to enjoy it. You wouldn't know that Calvin (one of the heroes) was being threatened by anything, since he never reacts differently to anything. Although, I did find his companion, Spider, to be at least one of the funnier highlights of the movie.
But, that is not to say that I wouldn't recommend this movie. It is a cult classic for good reason. The title should be enticing enough to at least give it a try.
