Screencaps:

Review: Obviously cashing in on the amusing title of Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama (1988) and bizarrely produced by the director of that movie, David DeCoteau, Sorority Babes in the Dance-A-Thon of Death is just awful in every way. The two movies have very little in common other than both being crap, but Sorority Babes in the Dance-A-Thon of Death takes the amateurishness to a whole new level.

The acting is particularly horrible if you can even hear the dialogue, and there are no effects worth mentioning since it's hard to see anything either. It's all very fuzzy, too dark in a lot of places, and the camerawork is all over the place.

Along the way, the dialogue homages (or rather just blatantly rips-off) Wayne's World and The Evil Dead while the action, such as it is, just involves a lot of running in and out of doorways or up and down stairs.

The standouts are the old bickering couple who would be funny if they could deliver their lines with any comedic timing. As it is, they are as embarrassing as the other non-actors and pudgy-faced bimbos. One of their scenes end with Todd Sheets yelling "Cut!" which is the only amusement to be had.

The hottest babe is Lisa Krueger. This is her only film so make the most of it. A few of the other cast members (although not many of them) are allegedly in other movies by Todd Sheets. Why anyone would choose to watch them in anything else defies all logic anyway. Nobody can act in this so who cares?

If you can force yourself to watch Sorority Babes in the Dance-A-Thon of Death, there is actually a story to it which doesn't have anything to do with the more interesting prologue or title. There isn't much of a "Dance-A-Thon" unless you count the couple of minutes that three girls dance together, and there's not much death either so be prepared to get very bored. The worst crime is that there's no nudity.

Sorority Babes in the Dance-A-Thon of Death is really just another "possessed girl goes on a killing spree" slasher much like a cheaper version of Night of the Demons but with a different ending.

Most Memorable Moment(s): The Twister game.

Originality: None since it's a kind of sequel.

Worst Line(s): "We're not worthy! We're not worthy!"
