Evil Bong is a low-budget American horror/comedy film from director Charles Band and Full Moon Features. The film stars David Weidoff, John Patrick Jordan, and Mitch Eakins. As well as cameos from Bill Mosely, Brandi Cunningham, and Tommy Chong. It was released on October 31st, 2006 on Home Video and DVD. It’s April 20th today, or 4/20, and I am watching the SD transfer on Tubi.com.

The straight-laced Alister answers a call for a roommate from a 420 friendly household of bros. It’s a college dorm with stoners Brett, Larnell, and Bachman. Three extreme caricatures of a stereotypical cannabis user. Alister makes it clear that he doesn’t smoke weed but he is alright with the boys doing whatever they want too. The group buys a bong from an online posting that advertises the piece is possessed. And as each one of the guys smokes from Evil Bong, she kills them. One-by-one.

Charles Band doesn’t deliver quality movies. But at least he pursues off-the-wall ideas and fantasies like Evil Bong. This was surprisingly good. Not a good movie. But it was highly, hehe, entertaining. I was happy to see a lot of practical effects like actual splashes of fake blood. There wasn’t a whole lot of gore to showcase or anything. But at least the characters are actually smoking something. I was afraid I was going to see them inhaling nothing and exhaling bad CGI smoke.

The comedy is the true high point of the film. It’s absurdist, amateurish, and very immature. But the delivery and overall use of parody is great. While the stoner characters are cheap stereotypes they are very funny. The WTF factor is turned up to 11 too. There is a scene with an ultra-horned up girl that at one point during a high-energy full-body dance/performance busts out a pogo stick and starts jumping around before passing out. So off the wall and unexpected. But definitely the type of scene that we all were busting up about.

Evil Bong kills her victims by getting them so high they pass out. Then their consciousness is transported to a hazy, stonery, parallel dimension strip-club, that seems to house various Full Moon and Charles Band properties like Gingerdead Man, Doll Graveyard, and Demonic Toys. The dancers in the club are all demonic killers that use their bras to kill their victims. And when a user dies in this dimension they die in their slumber.

I was pleasantly surprised by Evil Bong. I didn’t even expect to write this much about it. But for all of the negatives this movie has, there are so many ironic positives. The soundtrack is fantastic. I picked out some great songs that played throughout. This is the perfect movie to watch on 4/20. And like the old saying, “Weed makes it better!” Check it out. It was better than expected. I suggest smoking some BC Bud while watching it.
