Girlfriend from Hell

Warning: Spoilers
Terrible comedy about a teenage girl, Maggie(Liane Curtis)whose body is taken over by the Devil; her friends' souls are hanging in the balance. Chaser(Dana Ashbrook; WAXWORK), assigned by God to kill Satan, is the group's only hope. Lezlie Deane(FREDDIE'S DEAD: THE FINAL NIGHTMARE)will join forces with Chaser in helping save her friends from eternal damnation. The Devil uses Maggie's body for sexual purposes, and the guys of the group who she seduces have their "souls sucked" during intercourse. Maggie, possessed against her will, also has powers at her disposal so her friends are in a whole heap of trouble(bodies are levitated in mid air, can be controlled to do sinful things, etc). Ashbrook, and the rest of the cast, seem to be having fun with the material(especially Curtis as the girl possessed by the Devil), as Satan causes all sorts of mischief and mayhem. Ashbrook has problems with his teleporting device, a tool which sends him to alternate planets and dimensions. The entertainment value of such a movie as this depends on whether or not you find the material funny. If you enjoy the characters, the performances of the actors involved, and what comes out of their mouths, maybe silly junk like this might have some appeal..there are plenty of jabs at Christians and the usual sexual jokes. If you enjoy seeing women slug guys in the face and vice versa, this could tickle your funnybone, like one such scene where Ashbrook punches a possessed Maggie out of a window and off of the roof to the ground below numerous times(or where one victim is reduced to the size of a gold fish and put in a bowl of water for boinking Maggie over the head with a bible). I think many will know Curtis from SIXTEEN CANDLES. This is probably a bit funnier if one is intoxicated or stoned.
