Hilary (Amy Waddell) and Dee Dee (Anette Munro) are your average eighties chicks looking to get into a sorority. They decide to try their luck with Zama Gata Bata, so sorority leader Stephanie (G.L.O.W. wrestler Sheila Best) gives them their initiation: they have to dress up like hookers, find some prospective clients, and bring them to a predetermined location. While the two ladies are out peddling their ass on Sunset Blvd., Hilary's boyfriend Bruce (Tommy Carrano) and his two buddies happen to walk by and spot them. The girls come up with the scheme of bringing these three guys to the location and pretending that they're the johns that they picked up so that they don't have to mess around with any sleazy guys. With the plan in motion, the five kids hit up the location, only to find out that it's a whorehouse. One of the members of Bruce's entourage decides to stick around and have some fun with the whores, while the other four members of the group leave. As soon as they exit the building, the whores handcuff Bruce's soon-to-be ex-friend down and rip his heart out. From there, the storyline really makes no type of sense. There's a bearded, retarded guy Lobo (producer Gary Levinson) helping out the whores, a few people die, and there's lots of T&A sprinkled throughout.

The storyline, if you can even call it that, is completely screwed up... and when I say screwed up, I don't mean in a weird or bizarre way. No sir, I mean that it seems like the director just made the script up as he went along, changing the plot in order to throw more kills and T&A into the current scene. The main sorority starts off being cannibals, but midway through the movie, they're back to being normal ladies with no explanation given. Some of the victims stay deceased, some come back as zombies. The ending involves a character that up until the ending itself had a grand total of two minutes of screen time, who uses a cap gun to kill off a whore that up until that ending had no role in the film. The ending scenes run for about ten minutes, and after nine-and-a-half of those minutes pass by, the entire ending sequence starts over again. Yes, they replay the entire thing that we just witnessed without the slightest change to it. The main characters of the film disappear in a matter of one scene, never to show their faces again. Do you see where I'm going with this? If you need some type of storyline to your movie, no matter how small or insignificant, this would definitely be a film to skip.

The only strengths that this movie has is the death sequences and the gratuitous tits-and-ass shots. The death scenes, while quite low budget (including a man eating a human heart which was nothing more than a blatantly obvious hamburger patty), were decent enough for the time. Nothing overly special to be found there, but they served their purpose even if they were completely unoriginal. There's plenty of knife wounds and heart rippings, and while most look decent, they really could have done with some variety in the kills. On the T&A side of things, well, there's lots of it. If that's your thing, you'll surely enjoy the many, many shots of women in lingerie, women in thongs, women swinging their breasts about, women shaking their ass, and just about everything else one would expect from a film that's a step down from a porn. I certainly don't mind watching a bit of skin in my movies, but a, I dunno, storyline or something would have been great.

As I've pointed out before on this wonderful site, I'm a huge fan of eighties slashers. While it doesn't take much to make a successful (in my eyes) slasher film, this one didn't even meet those low standards. Zero storyline, an abrupt ending that comes out of nowhere involving two characters who had no part in the movie itself, and some horrid acting / lighting / sound setups (in many scenes, it's impossible to hear what's being said) leave me with no choice other than to give this one a low rating. That low rating would be a 2/10.
