Gorgeous
This movie is amazing. It is probably the worst acting, cinematography, sound, and scripting i have EVER seen. Especially amazing are Diana Cruz as the divergent-chested "Carmila" and the woman who plays Hillary's mom. Some highlights of the movie are Lobo's differing forehead makeup, the way all the cannibal hookers look and act, and Sheila Best as the sorority president. ALso hair and makeup are impeccable.
A true cinematic wonder.
I also love the song "Angelfire" featured in the movie. I can't wait to see the other titles featured in the "I WILL DANCE ON YOUR GRAVE" series!!@

Beautiful Naked Ladies and Blood...
Cannibal Hookers (1987)
** 1/2 (out of 4)
A couple young ladies want to pledge to a sorority but first they must make it past the initiation, which is them dressing up as hookers and walking the streets. Before long they end up at a bordello that appears to have a sinister thing going on.
Donald Farmer's CANNIBAL HOOKERS is the perfect example of the shot-on-video releases from the 1980s. If you weren't around for the VHS craze then you probably won't understand what it was like going into a video store every weekend and going through the racks looking at the latest releases. As a horror fan you'd notice that a lot of shot on video films were right there for you.
If you're looking for Oscar-winning acting, hard-hitting drama and a film that is going to change your life and lead you on a rewarding path then you're not going to find it here. THis film doesn't try to hide what it is and that's an extremely low-budget horror film that throws a lot of beautiful naked ladies, violence and blood at you.
The film is quite short, which works to its advantage since it allows you to get what you'd want from a film like it without the movie going on too long or getting watered down with a bunch of worthless dialogue scenes. As I said, people rented movies like CANNIBAL HOOKERS for the blood and nudity and both are presented here. CANNIBAL HOOKERS isn't a masterpiece of cinema but for what the movie is it kept me entertained.

Gross-out horror video
My review was written in December 1988 after watching the feature on Hollywood International Pictures video cassette.
Beneath the lurid title "Cannibal Hookers" lies a lurid video, slightly tongue-in-cheek but mainly a gross-out horror pic, lensed on videotape.
Director Donald Farme, whose previous work includes shot-on-video "Demon Queen", ably captures a sleazy milieu wherein two cuties (Amy Waddell, Annette Munro) have to pose as street hooker as part of their sorority initiation for taskmaster Sheila Best. The actual prosties are part of some demonic cult, preying on human flesh, namely their unsuspecting johns.
The extremely gory makeup effects by Bill Barschdorf and Brian Sipe are intensified by the immediacy of video photography, marking this tape for the hardline horror addicts. Coproducer Gary J. Levinon doubles as an on-camera geek named Lobo, whose fight with the cops ends the picture abruptly. Acting and tech credits are a bit ragged.

A House Full of Hungry Females
This film essentially begins in Los Angeles with two young women named "Hilary" (Amy Waddell) and "Dee-Dee" (Annette Munro) trying to join a sorority. The lead sorority sister, "Stephanie" (Sheila Best), tells them that to pass the initiation, they must dress up as hookers and bring two clients to a bordello in a seedy part of town. Although they initially can't attract any customers, Hilary's boyfriend, "Bruce" (Tommy Carrano), and his two friends, "Darrell" (Donald Trimborn) and "Dwight" (Matt Borlenghi), step in and agree to go with them. What they don't realize is that the bordello Stephanie sends them to is home to female cannibals who happen to be quite hungry. Now, rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this was one of those low-budget '80s movies that suffered from common issues typical of productions like this. The script was simple, the acting was poor, and the camera work needed significant improvement as well. Admittedly, there were some attractive actresses, like Kristie Etzold (as the "Hitchhiker Hooker") and Diana de la Cruz ("Carmila"), along with the three women mentioned earlier, to add some visual interest. Still, their presence wasn't enough to save this wretched film, and I have rated it accordingly.
* out of 4.
Group of college girls pledging a sorority are forced to pretend to be hookers and pick up some johns. They are able to do this, but the pledge master turns the girls into cannibals and soon no male in the city is safe. Really terrible film is entertaining because it is so bad. The special effects are mainly shots of a person screaming and then you see a fake limb with some blood on it torn apart. They don't even bother to show the limbs being torn off because the budget was so low, that the effect would have came off even worse, if that is possible.
