My quick rating - 4,6/10. A shuffle pick that is a Full Moon release which is currently streaming on ARROW or for free with ads on The Roku Channel, Tubi TV, Pluto TV, and the Freevee Amazon Channel. I know the name has Troma written all over it but these titles were the norm for the 80s. Scream queen Linnea Quigley is a part of this one, and that is about all I know. At least this one didn't take long to have college girls being paddled and then straight into the shower after being doused in whip cream. Yes, plenty of gratuitous nudity is the obvious name of the game here. And humor was the next thing I see especially when our evil IMP makes an appearance. After 3 geeks are caught spying on a sorority hazing ritual, they are blackmailed into helping the pledges still a trophy from a bowling alley. But when the prize item is dropped after running into Spyder (Quigley) who was attempting to rob the place, the killer IMP is let loose. This wisecracking imitation genie offers our group of imbeciles a single wish. And if you have ever seen a movie, you know exactly where this is going. Although the djins tend to try and manipulate your wishes into negativity, this IMP is just straight up about killing. The unfortunate horror aspects of this one are never even remotely touched upon so there are no quality kills or gore to speak of. But the absolute silliness of the whole venture does make it worth checking out. That is only true though if you can laugh at the flick for what it is. A farce of a flick, but totally on purpose. The acting is horrible and the whole campy feel is presented as matter of fact. This isn't a good flick if you are trying to find technical merit or production values but for entertainment, it is pretty damn funny. Bonus, the quote "very stupid" from the Static-X song "I'm with Stupid" came from this movie. I had no idea until I heard Quigley say it.
