And there aren't even any 'creepy-music-I-think-she's-going-to-get-killed-but-WAIT! It's just a cat in the closet!' moments. Every time you think someone's going to die, they do. The characters- and I use the term loosely- are a fantastically dimwitted group of sorority sisters looked after by a housemother (Andrea Martin, of the '74 original and, oddly enough, My Big Fat Greek Wedding) who forbids swearing but pays no attention as one girl drinks tequila until she throws up on the coffee table.
They are killed off in increasingly ridiculous fashion with startling rapidity, and yet Morgan and Wong just roar past any opportunity to duck out early with some graciousness (or perhaps mercy), instead drawing the movie out fifteen or twenty minutes longer than it ever should have been. Thirty at the most.
So as we watched this majestically awful film, two of my friends, in spite of the many small children surrounding us, began to make some off color jokes in what was not, shall we say, their indoor voices. And nobody shhhh'd them, or said anything. Some people laughed. And all through the theatre, you could feel the vibe that they wanted to join in. Like I said, it was the early crowd.
And even though we came out complaining about dropping ten dollars on it, and we were right to complain, I'd pay six bucks to see it again on a double bill with, say, Cannibal Holocaust.

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll probably rent this and watch it with my friends since we love making fun of really bad movies. Our two favorites are "Spring Break: Shark Attack" and Trapped in the Closet".

Yep, the same Andrea Martin. She even won a few emmy's for her work there (and a best actress award from the catalonian int'l film festival for Cannibal Girls in 1973. God bless imdb...)
Good eye, ubiquitous.
