Meet EEBEE, a vintage bong with the mysterious power to grant truly killer highs! Hypnotized by EEBEE, college nerd Alistair McDowell (David Weidoff) and his stoner roommates - including Luann (Robin Sydney) and Janet (David Weidoff) take a toke and EEBEE sends them on a wild trip to her bong world. There they encounter EEBEE in her full evil glory, sexy but deadly dancers and a veritable full-moon smörgåsbord of guest stars, including, Tim Thomerson (Trancers), Bill Moseley (The Devil’s Rejects), Phil Fondacare (Decadent Evil), Ooga Booga from “Doll Graveyard” and even the “Gingerdead Man” himself. Will Alistair and his pothead friends escape the bong world before its too late?

I’ve been waiting a long time to see this movie. I went into with high expectations and one hell of a buzz and I was let down. It was not what I thought it was going to be at all. Bong World was cool and it was a great idea, an evil bong swallows your soul after hitting it and suspends it in some purgatorial world were really hot strippers and a bunch of strange drifters hang out. Great fucking idea man, until the crazy green bubble distracts you away from what was going on and the vampire monster bra’s start biting people. This movie needed more Bong World scenes and less sitting around in a trashy ass apartment with drawn out conversation scenes. Plus the bong looked stupid. Actually it was a fucking hookah not a bong. It’s face rarely moved and it had a goofy ass voice. You would think that the creator of “Puppetmaster” could get his hands on some better animatronics.

It started to pick up momentarily when Tommy Chong showed up but still, too little too late. His character was really cool, typical Chong but not enough to save the story. I really hate it when a film gets me pumped up only to be let down. I honestly feel like I wasted weed on this movie. Cool concept, plenty of nudity, drugs and alcohol, a midget, and Tommy Chong, this film should have been classic. I guess ole Charles Band doesn’t really toke up cuz a movie about weed should be a lot more entertaining than “Evil Bong” was. Me being a smoker was almost offended, nice try Charlie but your movie sucked.
