To be accepted into a fraternity, two teenagers (Chris Makepeace and Robert Rusler) go in search of a stripper for a college party. Of course, things go wrong and turn into a teenage horror-comedy.
While watching the movie, scenes from Scorsese's "After Hours" (1985) and then from Rodriguez's "From Dusk Till Dawn" (1996) flashed through my head. Later I saw online that many people had the same associations. I wouldn't be surprised if this film was inspired by Scorsese's, as well as if the iconic Rodriguez was inspired by this, with Salma Hayek being, in my opinion, a convincing step up from Grace Jones.
Grace Jones got a relatively small, but important and very impressive role, which should combine sexual sensuality with mystery and fear. She presented the mystery and horror perfectly, but it is completely incomprehensible to me to associate Grace Jones with sexiness, although this lack is obviously subjective, since I didn't find people sharing my opinion. I would also like to mention the leader of the albino gang, who is played by Billy Drago and who is probably the only character that will remain in my memory. The rest of the cast and their performances don't stand out from the sea of mediocre teen comedies.
The same goes for all other aspects of the film. I have no complaints, but I have nothing to praise either. The movie is entertaining, holds the attention, but nothing particularly stands out. Ok for one viewing.
7/10.
