Nightmare Sisters

OK, this is a harmless enough movie I guess, but it was one that really helped do in the horror genre by initiating the whole "scream queen" phenomenon where actresses of very dubious talent (Quigley, Stevens, and Bauer) and directors of extremely limited skill (Decouteau, Jim Wynorski, and Fred Olen Ray) started churning out no-budget "horror" movies that were little more than Playboy videos of attractive woman cavorting around in the nude for most of the running time. Of course, sex and nudity have long been an ingredient in horror movies, but they are not the ONLY ingredient. It's pretty cynical to paper over a total lack of talent and production values by cramming in as much T and A as possible and then try to sell it to supposedly maladjusted horror fans who, of course, can't get a date with real women so are going to spend Friday nights renting this crap.

And after doing their part to bring down the horror genre, these same filmmakers apparently decided (perhaps rightly so)that sci-fi fans were even more pathetic, and thus they came up "sci-fi erotica" like "Femalien" and "Emmanuelle in Space" (which even Jaqueline Lovell and Krista Allen couldn't make suck any less). Then there are the "erotic thrillers", but the less said about them the better. All of which begs the question--if the only thing you're really looking for in a movie is sex and nudity, why not just rent an actual porno?

This indie film by the auteur DeCoteau is the single greatest influence for the creation of the Eye Candy Hall of Fame. The cast boasts of three members of the All-Century team: the ever-so-lovely Brinke Stevens, the majestic beauty of Michelle Bauer, and the sultry Linnea Quigley. Each of our extremely fabulous leading ladies give such a high-caliber performance that it sets the standards by how we at the academy judge our potential members. As actors, they strip down to the basics and bare their natural talents unlike any other ensemble in the history of cinema. Memorable performances are the seance-transformation scene, the kitchen scene, and the bathtub scene. The auteur DeCoteau has created a masterpiece that will simply blow you away.

I waited 31 years to watch this but say it's better late than never. This was way better than I was expecting and I find it shocking that according to the IMDB trivia it was shot in only four days. The cast seemed very prepared and lucid in their characters. The writing and comedy was a better delivery than I was expecting. and the scene where our famous beloved Scream Queens transform, was everything and more than what I wanted it to be. It was a delight to watch and lives up to the hype. Linnea, Brinke, and Michelle were very funny in these characters and their transformation was quite cool and clever. If you are a fan of these ladies and for some reason put this movie off for as long as I did, I caught the full film on youtube and was not disappointed. I only wanted to kick myself for waiting a lifetime before watching. It surprised me how well made it was, and fun. I expected a no budget grainy mess but was instead shocked to find how cohesive and prepared the whole thing was. Well done to DeCoteau, and it is an absolute pleasure to see Linnea Brinke and Michelle in this classic amusing 3some. They should have done way more movies together. Lives up to the hype. <3

Nightmare Sisters was obviously cobbled together with a little spit and a prayer, but the three leads seem to be having the time of their lives playing both the dorky and sexy sides of each of their characters.

All you really need to know about the story is that there are three nerdy sorority sisters who end up summoning a demon who turns them into sexpots with a literal hunger for boys.

The film is shot without much style with several scenes covered in only master shots, but it somehow works thanks to a charmingly goofy script and campy turns by all the actresses.

I have never gotten the desire to comment about a movie on these boards. If you are reading this, then behold you are indeed a part of a small piece of history. This will be the only comment about a movie I will ever make in my lifetime, on IMDb. If you are looking for a serious movie, keep moving! If you are looking for a movie that will lift your spirits...and have a wonderful time over and over again, look no further. Nightmare Sisters is the ultimate BMovie classic that captures teen antics, cheesy demons, and that 80's feel to perfection. I saw this movie when I was in my early teens, and had never forgotten about it. So much that I paid a great deal online just to have it on VHS. Thank god the movie is now on DVD. Seriously if you made it this far....take my word...this is the movie you've been looking for. Bmovie fans....don't miss out....and I bid you farewell.....
