Melody, Marci, and Mickey are three geeky college girls who can't get a date. One night, they invite some geeky college guys over and have a seance that results in the girls becoming possessed and turning into sex starved vamps. Will the geek hero guys be able to stop the horrible (?) possession?

This movie is so USA UP ALL NIGHT type of movie mainstay. Where it Is only entertaining is how bad it is. That is similarly structured to the film SORORITY BABES IN BOWL O RAMA. Which is slightly better made and more entertaining.

So I have to give this film credit as these are the type of trashy movies I watched quite a bit on cable and then sought out in how. Video so I could see what basic cable cut out or digitized out 

The films point of view and simple nature can be summed up In The characters Keep calling the frat guys nazis even though one of the so called heroes has a poster for the confederate flag. 

Though to be truthful this is even bad for those type of films. Even down to the score.

That is obvious and seems more made to be a feature filled with nudity and titillation then finding an excuse for it. 

Where a dream fantasy scenario becomes a nightmare that involves horror here are more the fantasy type with a bad soundtrack. Though I will admit when I was a young teen this is the type of movie that would play like porn to me and I would sit through it no matter how bad it was. For the promise of maybe a sex scene but more importantly at that age NUDITY. 

The female characters start off as nerd stereotypes before becoming more sexual vampire demons in lingerie and then quickly nude. Throughout most of the film, even the males as their dates are just as geeky but some more crafty toes come along clearly meant to be victims. Who up the body count.

Watching this can be a nostalgic throwback to a certain time in the film. Particularly straight-to-home video films.

As usual when a film has actor Richard Gabai and/or Linnea Quigley involved in the cast or production. 

The film feels like a bunch of filler as it takes its time to get to the story. As the film ends up being more talking than action or shown crude humor and obvious jokes that are offensive. 

Linnea Quigley I was always a fan of so that might be why I have seen so many of these types of films. Also because she was always in these types of roles and films. I sought out as a teen helped form my attractions

Even the Abundant nudity is disappointing to a degree. As for most of the second half of the film. The leads are Topless. This gives it the feeling of softcore porn or a 1980’s  music video that goes for being risqué.

The women are so made up after their transformations kind of preferred them Before. Except their acting becomes more natural after the change. 

The softcore sex scenes end in death or are the only true horror scenes. Though there is no blood and we just see a bunch of mole as they are being massacred. 

The film uses very few locations.

Endless bath scenes with the three girls in a tub. That it feels like a porno without by real hardcore or even soft-core sex. Though heavily into the set up’s
