Hippie Sid (Anthrax lead singer Joey Belladonna in a memorable cameo) gets fatally burned up in a bathtub full of acid when a frat prank goes awry back in the late 1960's. Twenty years later the vengeful and disfigured spirit of Sid (Will Kempe in funky burn makeup) returns from the beyond to bump off various members of the fraternity responsible for his untimely death.
Director Paul Ziller keeps the enjoyably inane story moving along at a snappy pace, maintains a cheerfully rude tone throughout, delivers a satisfying smattering of tasty gratuitous female nudity (there's quite a bit of bare male skin for the ladies, too), and stages the outrageous murders with giddy'n'gory gusto. Moreover, Joyce Snyder's raunchy script really goes overboard with its blithely crude'n'crass sense of amusing and unapologetic lowbrow humor, with the assorted pranks and initiation rites that hapless pledges are subjected to coming across as both sadistic and sophomoric in equal measure. Todd Eastland as token decent dude Bonner makes for a likeable protagonist while Arthur Lindquist delivers a deliciously broad and inspired performance as the crazed Dan. Further galvanized by a raucous'n'roaring 80's hair band rock soundtrack, this honey overall rates as a total trashy blast.
