At a college frat house, three guys, Calvin (Andras Jones), Jimmie (Hal Havins), and Keith (John Stuart Wildman), are bored. They get an idea: sneak over to the local sorority house where some new pledges are being initiated and watch. Unfortunately, they get caught by head sisters Babs (Robin Rochelle), Rhonda (Kathi O’Brecht), and Frankie (Carla Baron). As punishment, the three guys must accompany pledges Taffy (Brinke Stevens) and Lisa (Michelle Bauer) on a special mission. They’re sent to break into a local bowling alley and steal a trophy, the three heads watching via security cameras. While at the bowling alley, the gang runs into Spider (Linnea Quigley), a biker who’s robbing the place. They find a bowling trophy, but it gets dropped, releasing an imp named Uncle Impie (Michael Sanye, aka Dukey Flyswatter). He offers each of them a wish, but they soon discover that comes with a price.
Having a title like Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama, you should know what kind of movie you’re getting into. While this film is not going to receive high critical praise or sweep the Oscars, but it’s not trying to. The acting ranges from mediocre to downright amateurish, the effects are shoddy, and the story is flat out ridiculous. Even by Empire/Full Moon standards, this film is complete trash, but it’s still enjoyable trash that’s worth some laughs. One thing of note is the casting of three legendary scream queens: Linnea Quigley, Brinke Stevens, and Michelle Bauer. Not only are Stevens and Bauer more than willing to show some skin, but Quigley is owning all her scenes. She’s having fun playing a bad girl similar to her role in Return of the Living Dead, minus the nudity. However, the real star of the show is Uncle Impie.
With a heavy ebonics-speaking voice and tons of corny jokes, Uncle Impie is what makes the film so much fun. The puppet itself looks pretty good, even though it has limited movement and the mouth doesn’t entirely match the voiceover. Also, much like other great B-movies, there’s even an appearance by George “Buck” Flower, once again giving a fun performance. As stated above, Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama is not for everyone, especially for most mainstream audiences. However, if you’re the type of person who enjoys enjoyable trash cinema, this is well worth a watch. I should note that, at the time of writing this review, a sequel is already in the works. Whether or not the sequel lives up to the original, it shows how popular a seemingly bad movie can be. Overall, Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama is a fun time for the right audience.
