n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

If the title alone doesn't grab you, then don't even bother! When director David DeCoteau and uncredited executive producer Charles Band set out to make a cult flick, they don't fool around. This is easily one of the weirdest movies ever made. The story is subtle and simple: A group of nerds are dared by a group of sorority babes to go into a bowling alley after midnight. Through a series of events, they all wind up trapped inside. Then a djinn, another name for genie, is awakened from an ancient slumber and proceeds to terrorize the youths. From that point on, madness ensues. We get ample amounts of flesh, several inventive death scenes, overall convincing puppetry (the djinn is a puppet) and mostly-good acting. Nice use of the bowling alley location and I especially liked the creative use of lighting. We even get Linnea Quigley, Brinke Stevens and Michelle Bauer, woohoo! What more could you want?! So grab some popcorn, a couple beers and your funniest friends for a wild and wacky evening!

In the running for the cheesiest movie I've ever seen (right up there with "Zombie Lake") this film started out extremely slow. I have to admit, I almost turned it off. It got a little better about 30 minutes in, luckily.The plot is absurd and the script is poorly penned. The acting is third or fourth rate. Three 'nerds' spy on some sorority girls. They get caught and then as punishment get 'forced' into a prank that the initiating girls must pull off in order to get into the sorority. They are attempting to steal a bowling trophy (what the hell???) from a bowling alley and they unleash a horrible imp who grants them wishes that turn into curses.Linnea Quigley's punk rock criminal character is the only thing that saves this movie at all. She has some awesome lines and shines as the best actor in the bunch (sadly.) Also, a dude gets decapitated and they bowl his head down the lane which was pretty nice.Definitely the kind of movie you saw on USA Up All Night back in the 90's. Chock-full of ridiculous high school fantasies. Yikes! 4 out of 10, kids.

This is a totally fun cheezefest from the dude who brought us the much lamer CREEPAZOIDS. So some kids break into a bowling alley to steal a trophy as part of a sorority initiation. Unfortunately for them (and luckily for us) they accidentally a release a mischievous little imp and all hell breaks loose. The imp is hilarious! he's got a voice that sounds like a cross between Barry White and a pimp. Everything that comes out of his mouth is hella funny. Anyway enough of the plot, all you need to know is that this movie is way crucial to any 80's horror/b-movie lovers. it's got really cheesy special effects (we're talking TRICK OR TREAT territory here!), it delivers lots of laughs, and its got some nice nudity. Another major bonus is that its got scream queen Linea Quigley (you know the super hot naked punker slut from RETURN OF THE LIVING DEAD) who is once again playing a hot rebellious punk babe. Unfortunately she doesn't get naked in this one but she's still rad. I think it's also got the fat pig punk rocker from NIGHT OF THE DEMONS. Anyway the only other thing missing is gore, otherwise it would have received a solid 10. Bottom line this is not to be missed!

For some incomprehensible reason it's actually one of the biggest mysteries of our time - director David DeCoteau has quite a large share of loyal fans and especially his 80's and early 90's movies have gained a undeserved cult status. Nevertheless ALL of his movies are extremely inept and ridiculous trash, with loads of dull moments, gratuitous sleaze and lousy special effects. I always thought "Creepozoids" was the worst of the bunch, but now that dubious honor goes to "Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-o-Rama". Appealing title, isn't it? Well, it's the best thing about it. Here we have the umpteenth 80's horror movie revolving on a fraternity initiation ritual that goes a runs a little out of hand, only here it's not scary or gory, just stupid! So far, the hardest ordeals Taffy and Lisa had to endure to get into the sorority were getting butt-spanked and covered in whipped cream, but now they have to break into the local bowling alley along with three nerd prototypes boys and steal a trophy. Whilst doing that, and also running into Linnea Quigley who plays a female burglar (?), they accidentally free a mythical monster from it's resting place. This thing is not quite a Djinn, not a demon and it's not really a Gremlin, neither. Apparently it's an "Imp". These...um...Imps don't do very much apart from talking crap, seemly through the voice of a washed-up Blaxploitation-star. Some teenagers die, other teenagers take their clothes off and good old Buck Flower plays the exact same character as he did in 150 previous movies. Poorly directed, with absolutely no attention to tension or continuity, and atrociously acted by an impressive collection of brainless bimbos. The 80's brought forward a lot of great things in the horror industry, but even more irredeemably bad garbage. For DeCoteau fans and Quigley-groupies only!
