Nightmare Sisters

About This Movie

Nightmare Sisters is a curious blend of comedy and horror that plays with the tropes of sorority life in the 80s. Directed by David DeCoteau, it leans heavily into camp, with its pacing bouncing between awkward social interactions and supernatural chaos. The séance scene is a real turning point—once the girls are possessed, the tone shifts, and you get some wild practical effects that add to the madness. The performances are a mix of earnestness and exaggerated silliness, which somehow work in its favor, making the characters both relatable and absurd. It's a film that revels in its own ridiculousness, transforming mundane college parties into something much more risqué and bizarre. It’s sort of a time capsule of the era's fascination with the occult and sexuality.
