Nightmare Sisters can be considered a companion piece to director David DeCoteau's Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama: it was made the same year, features several of the same cast, uses the same sorority house location, revolves around the same kind of puerile frat-boy humour, and even uses the same font for its opening credits. It should come as no surprise then that it is the same in terms of quality i.e., not very good!
The pathetic plot sees three nerdy sorority sisters -- Melody (Linnea Quigley), Marci (Brinke Stevens) and Mickey (Michelle Bauer ) -- invite three equally nerdy guys -- Kevin (Richard Gabai), Freddy (Marcus Vaughter) and Duane (William Dristas) -- to their house for a party. When the girls suggest using the crystal ball that Marci bought at a flea market, the guys reluctantly agree, but are shocked when, during the seance, their dorky dates magically transform into beautiful babes with sex on their minds.
I'll give David DeCoteau his due: he might not be into the ladies himself, but he knows what a straight guy likes (or at least what sells a film), all three of his actresses getting (almost) naked, and even taking a bubble bath together. Unfortunately, even with a trio of topless hotties in a tub, one can only forgive so much, and the lame plot and diabolical direction become quite unbearable as the geeky guys' fraternity brothers discover how hot the girls are, and decide that they want a piece of the action. Muscling in on the party, they pay for their lustful ways when the sexy sorority sisters turn out to be possessed by a succubus that feeds on young men.
For the film's diabolical finale, Kevin, Freddy and Duane call an exorcist (found in the Yellow Pages) who casts out the demon, which manifests itself as a cheap Halloween store prop.
To be fair, the film's trio of scream queens acquit themselves quite well at the beginning -- their nerdy selves are actually pretty funny -- and the introduction of their sexy incarnations is quite the eye-opener (unless you're watching the alternative version without the nudity - but why would you want to do that?). For these reasons, I give the film a rating of 3.5/10 (rounded up to 4 for IMDb), which is probably more than it deserves.
