My review was written in December 1988 after watching the feature on Hollywood International Pictures video cassette.
Beneath the lurid title "Cannibal Hookers" lies a lurid video, slightly tongue-in-cheek but mainly a gross-out horror pic, lensed on videotape.
Director Donald Farme, whose previous work includes shot-on-video "Demon Queen", ably captures a sleazy milieu wherein two cuties (Amy Waddell, Annette Munro) have to pose as street hooker as part of their sorority initiation for taskmaster Sheila Best. The actual prosties are part of some demonic cult, preying on human flesh, namely their unsuspecting johns.
The extremely gory makeup effects by Bill Barschdorf and Brian Sipe are intensified by the immediacy of video photography, marking this tape for the hardline horror addicts. Coproducer Gary J. Levinon doubles as an on-camera geek named Lobo, whose fight with the cops ends the picture abruptly. Acting and tech credits are a bit ragged.
