Funky fun for fans of all things b-movie.
When a group of frat boys get caught peeping in on a sorority's initiation they get roped into helping the pledges steal a trophy from a bowling alley. Too bad that the trophy they choose just happens to have an evil little imp (the movie's original title was, in fact, The Imp) trapped inside. This seemingly grateful, at first, Imp grants wishes to the guys and gals that then backfire in horrible ways. Turns out he just wants to kill everyone. Heck, I would to if I were locked up inside a bowling trophy for years on end.
What makes this piece o' trash work as well as it does is seeing just how much fun the cast (which is terrific - Linnea Quigley, Brinke Stevens, and Michelle 'aka porn star Pia Snow' Bauer) obviously had making this dumb thing. Of course this could also be explained by the fact that, according to director David DeCoteau, just about everyone was falling down drunk when they made it. The caterers bar was put to very good use. Recommended for viewers looking for dumb...
Who's a nasty little Imp?
You know, B movies come in all shapes and sizes, sci fi, horror, comedy. What makes it a B movie? Bad acting, bad directing. bad script, plot holes, stereo typed characters, and more importantly a little T and A. Don't forget the ultra long cheesy title. Oh did I mention the bad acting? Its because of those aforementioned items that I gave this four stars. B movies aren't just a bad movie its an art form.
O.k. so three frat boys get busted by the Sorority for watching sorority initiates getting their fannies paddled(god bless those sorority girls) and sneaking in to watch those girls in the showers. As punishment the three guys must accompany the girls on their final intiation task Steal this trophy out of the bowling alley at the mall. sounds good right? Wrong!!!
After they steal the trophy they drop it, and Poof! a wish granting imp comes, and starts granting false wishes. that work against everyone. Theres not much more to it than that folks. Sure Linea Quigley is...
Neat Stuff! Campy and fun.
This is quite a good movie about college nerds going to a bowling alley and releases an evil imp. Scream queens Linnea Quigley, Brinke Stevens, and Michelle (McLellan) Bauer all team up in this comedy-horror-fantasy movie and teamed up again in "The Nightmare Sisters" which is really hilarious and is by the same director, but it's nowhere as good as this. I think this movie was played in theatre's, if not it certainly was good enough to be.
