A self-consciously silly slasher movie about some sorority sisters spending a weekend in a house they've been hired to clean up. Also, there's an old book of satanic drawings and incantations, and when one of the girls reads the wrong page out loud, translating from the Latin, a cartoon demon gets out. Director Fred Olen Ray has made a lot of these low-budget horrors, so he knows the genre he's spoofing. He also knows that in a movie like this, writing and acting don't mean nearly as much as boobs and blood. David Carradine skulks around in it, following in his old man's footsteps. Dick Miller gets to watch himself on television in "Bucket of Blood" and wonder "how come this guy never won an Academy Award?" Arte Johnson pops in for a couple of scenes. The rest of the cast was selected for a willingness to get topless more than anything else. Madison Stone (the raven-haired Girl Possessed By the Devil) and Stacey Nix (the blonde Girl You Know Is Going To Die) had both done adult film work, and Monique Gabrielle (the Girl With Glasses and a Brain) was a Penthouse model.
