"Babes initially appears as harmless escapist romp, but shockingly, and possibly without intent, slides into the interpretive genre. Two words: epically extraordinary." - Dr. Rhonda Baughman, Girls, On Film
"A tough title to live up to, we agree, but Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama comes surprisingly close to achieving that formidable goal." - The Phantom of the Movies
"As pleasingly punchy as can be expected from a hybrid of mid-'80s teen sex comedy tropes and late-'80s self-consciously smirking horror crap." - Mike "McBeardo" McPadden, Teen Movie Hell
Sorority sisters force a pack of pledges to spend the night in an abandoned bowling alley, where they’re secretly spied on by a trio of hormonally unstable teen boys. If that’s not trouble enough, they also inadvertently conjure a trash-talkin’ imp with the power to manifest malevolent monstrosities from the darkest dimensions of destructive demigods! Luckily, locked n’ loaded leather-clad beast-blaster Linnea Quigley (Return of the Living Dead; Night of the Demons) is on the scene as Spider, armed to the teeth and ready to rearrange some demon DNA! Released on German VHS as Beast You!, David DeCoteau’s high mark in lowbrow cinema also stars Michelle Bauer (Demonwarp), Andras Jones (A Nightmare on Elm Street 4) and planet Earth's greatest deceased hobo actor, George "Buck" Flower!
Plus the PansyVision short film: Film Noir Week
Directed by Richard Griffin (Code Name: Dynastud)
It was a dark and stormy night when our mysterious host Dick Marlboro took us on a shadow-filled journey of the black and white world of film noir. We'll take a close look at one of most celebrated noirs of the 1940s, and interview the star of the film. So kick back with a shot of something strong and enjoy this week's special episode of PansyVision!
