"Nightmare Sisters" is a harmless, enjoyable b-movie which is more sex comedy than horror. I don't think it's even intended to be scary, and there is very little violence, but a lot of nudity and humour.The movie gets off to a shaky start with an obviously Caucasian man playing an Indian fortune teller, and doing the worst Indian accent since Peter Sellers. Why would a fortune teller be Indian, anyway? Somehow the crystal ball gets possessed, and then finds its way into the hands of three dorky sorority sisters.These three are played by the holy trinity of b-movie scream queens, Linnea Quigley, Michelle Bauer and Brinke Stevens. They begin the movie as stereotypically unattractive college co-eds. Brinke has borrowed Jeffrey Dahmer's glasses, Michelle Bauer is dressed up to look fat, and Linnea Quigley is wearing false buck teeth which actually only accentuate her beauty. Detractors might claim that we're only fans of Quigley, Stevens and Bauer because they're hot and get naked. This movie, along with most of their movies, showcases the charisma and talent they actually brought to the screen. Their portrayals here are funny and likable.Their nerdy male counterparts come over for a party the girls are possessed when they use the crystal ball in a seance (don't seances require ouija boards?) At first the girls turn sexy - and semi naked - but then they get a touch demonic, and a hilarious exorcist arrives to save the day.David DeCoteau seems to me to be a rarity among b-film makers. Going by any of his recent efforts, a strong case could be made that he is the worst filmmaker who ever lived. However, watching his '80s films like this one, one realises that he actually had some degree of know-how when he started out. I mean, obviously this isn't Citizen Kane, but it's actually pretty good. Now, his movies are just excuses to indulge in his tighty whitie fetish. Who keeps paying him to make movies? Who keeps watching them?

Producer & director David DeCoteau fumbles and bumbles his way through this hilariously awful schlock feature, which doesn't get higher marks if only because too much of the set-up is dull and draggy; some scenes simply go on too long. But when the movie starts cooking, it's highly amusing and extremely sexy. If it does one thing right, it's the way that it showcases the charms - physical and otherwise - of three iconic 1980s B movie hotties - Linnea Quigley, Brinke Stevens, and Michelle Bauer.It does have fun with the unlikely premise that Linnea, Brinke, and Michelle could ever have a hard time finding guys. They actually do a good job of "dorking it up" as Melody, Marci, and Mickey (respectively), three sorority sisters. Marci has picked up an unusual item at a flea market: a mediums' crystal ball. As we can already see from the pre-credits sequence, he's come to a bad end. When our heroines hook up with three equally nerdy guys, Marci gets the (not so) bright idea to hold a séance. The result? The babes get possessed, become MUCH more sexy, and intend to sink their teeth into various male victims. The three guys, Kevin (Richard Gabai), Freddy (Marcus Vaughter), and Duane (William Dristas) don't do what most guys would do; instead they manage to control themselves, and hire an exorcist.That damn exorcist ruins all the fun! But, seriously, folks, this overall is entertaining garbage with very low rent special effects, some amusingly bad lines ("He made an ash of himself."), and supporting performances that can charitably be described as not very good. But Linnea, Brinke, and Michelle seem to be having a great time (and show off their goods, which all get loving close-ups), so the viewer will probably be able to enjoy this as well.Recommended to fans of trash who don't mind a whole lot of silliness.Seven out of 10.

Out of the hundreds (maybe even thousands!) of actresses out there who try to claim the title "Scream Queen," Linnea Quigley, Michelle Bauer and Brinke Stevens are probably the best. How else can you explain how their mere presence enables you to sit through something as horrid, as plot less and as pointless as Nightmare Sisters? Don't get me wrong, this movie is horrible in almost every way and is really an insult to horror movie fans everywhere. But I gave it a "5" anyway and that's only because of the three leading ladies and their ability to enliven even the most atrocious film. They get to goof off here at the beginning (there's one incredibly amateurish unbroken 'talking' shot that lasts about 10 minutes) and then basically spend the rest of the film running around naked after they are possessed by a demon. There's also a long drawn-out nude bathtub scene, but watching the girls just sitting there giggling, splashing water and looking like they are having a great time rubs off on the viewer and becomes enjoyable. It's a much sexier and more natural scene than what we B-movie fans would later encounter in Skinamax porn - you know long, dead serious, fake-looking, awkward simu-sex. So if you love Linnea, Michelle and/or Brinke, this makes a nice addition to your DVD collection. Otherwise it will be one of the most grueling viewing experiences you will ever encounter.

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.
