Director David DeCoteau has been quoted as saying (about the 1980s) "You could make anything and it sold." Nothing shows this to be more true than Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama, a cheap piece of z-grade trash that is notable only for its classic scream queen trifecta of Linnea Quigley, Michelle Bauer (credited here as Michelle McClellen) and Brinke Stevens.
The film opens with three college losers (Andras Jones, Hal Havins and John Stuart Wildman) spying on a pair of sorority girls (Bauer and Stevens) being initiated by having their backsides paddled and their bodies sprayed with cream, after which they take a shower. Caught peeping on the young women as they wash, the nerds are forced to accompany the initiates on their final task to steal a trophy from the local bowling alley.
Breaking into the alley out of hours, the pledges and their male companions bump into punk burglar Spider (Quigley), before carrying out their objective, opting for the largest trophy—a big mistake, for therein lurks an evil imp, trapped for the last thirty years, but freed to cause havoc when the trophy is accidentally dropped. Cue lots of wearisome nonsense as the imp torments the kids, granting them wishes that backfire, and terrorising them by turning three sorority sisters into deadly demons.
Lousy special effects (the imp is a truly terrible puppet and there's an unconvincing severed head), a pitiful script packed with cringe-worthy humour, and dreadful performances all go to make Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama a really tedious film, even with Bauer and Brinke doing their very best to liven up proceedings with some full frontal nudity. Rather surprisingly, Quigley, who famously stripped nude for Return Of The Living Dead, remains clothed throughout.
