Review of H.O.T.S. (1979) by Steve K — 27 Oct 2005
H.O.T.S.
Starring: Susan Kiger, Lisa London, and Danny Bonaduce.
Director: Gerald Sindell.
"H.O.T.S." is sort of a girl version of "Revenge of the Nerds" (which it actually predates by several years), with plenty of gratuitous bare breasts thrown in. It focuses on a group of college women who, after being rejected by the snooty sororities on the Franklin University campus (abbreviated F.U., of course), start their own sorority.
The film features all the standard elements of this sort of 'college hi-jinx' story, although its resolution goes (sinks?) to rediculous new levels when the H.O.T.S. girls have to play the Pi sorority (their arch-enemies) in a game of strip football... a game refereed by the school's dean who earlier in the film was admonishing the H.O.T.S. members to maintain high moral standards.
Saddled with an uninventive storyline, tired jokes, bad actors, and a script that meanders from bad to worse, this is the very image of a bad B-movie. (In fairness, the jokes may not have been tired when the film was made, but they've been delivered much better since.).
