Alex(Tim Conlon, quite terrible in the lead;he resembles Zach Galligan to me)is just your average guy flunking high school and a loser on the football team. He meets up, one night, with the demonic presence of ole Mary Lou Maloney(Courntey Taylor)who we see explode from her grave at the opening and they have a tumble. The next day she's gone and he only has the American flag as covering for his nude body when students walk in ready for classes while Alex scurries to the restroom. Alex has a steady girlfriend, Sarah(Cynthia Preston, a cutie pie)and best friend, Shane(David Stratton), but all that changes when Mary has an impact on his daily doldrums in high school life. She kills teachers that stand in the way of his passing school(Mary Lou even fixes his term paper to an A+ passing grade)and gives him the supernatural ability to score winning touchdowns. All she wishes is for him to be hers. With Sarah in the way and guilt regarding his burying the bodies of Mary Lou's victims, Alex begins regretting his ever meeting this ghoul. Soon, Alex breaks up with Mary Lou, as preposterous as that sounds, and let's just say she doesn't take it lying down. Mary Lou's wrath will be aimed at Sarah(..and his friends and school mates)with poor Alex being sent to jail for the murders of his teachers when the corpses are found buried on the football field underneath the sod grass. Of course, a showdown will occur on Prom Night with Alex breaking free from jail and meeting with Mary Lou face to face. In a bizarre state of affairs, Alex agrees to go to "zombie hell" with Mary Lou in exchange for her ceasing the bloodshed. Though he does this, Sarah won't just give him up that easy.
Bird-brained, really stupid exercise is drenched in clichés..as a matter of fact the flick is drowning in them. Alex is a weak protagonist because Conlon is so awful. Attempts at tongue-in-cheek humor fall flat because most of Mary's quips aren't very funny or even slightly amusing. The school intercom jokester has most of the funny lines. The ending in zombie hell sums up the moronic approach of all involved. And, really the string of outrageous killings, committed by Mary, are quite unnecessary. Mary has really been turned into a joke.
