Slight correction - the actor playing the professor was pushing 40 when it was released, which adds to the squick factor, since you have the script pairs off a supposed 18 year old with someone who is clearly old enough to be her father.
This would be AMAZING for a live show, especially as it's relatively unknown by today's audiences.

This absolutely needs to be riffed. There's just too much here to mock.
A cast that spends much of their time mumbling their lines? Check.
Linda Blair buying a present that helps move the plot along but is a little juvenile for the recipient? Check.
Entire cast ignoring the fact that an old woman is audibly moaning and mumbling only inches away from them in the fireplace? Check.
Said fireplace able to work properly despite the woman filling most of the fireplace flue? Check.
The Hoff treating a ****** woman as a freak for not wanting to jump into bed with him? Check. -

I can second this. It's certainly a labor of love, but it's defined a grade C or D horror movie at best.

Heck, if FMP was smart they'd put the riffs on their DVD sets.

Another person put it perfectly: it's a ripe example of producers thinking that if they throw tons of CGI and big actors at a film, it will succeed. I remember not even being able to get through this, not even to the Rhianna scene. It was just that bad.

Also wanted to add that it has cheesy costumes, melodramatic therapy moments, and those wonderful Chronenberg moments where you wonder if someone slipped something into your food - or if they should have.

Oh wow, YES. I'm watching this right now and I'm only 5 minutes into it and it's just begging to be riffed!

Yeah... this film is pretty much asking for it. Just be careful since the guy who made the film will likely go ape**** if he sees it riffed.

And just think of all of the hand jokes you could make with one of the stories...
I think a good description is this review from IMDb:
NETHERWORLD, a Full Moon picture set in the Louisiana swamps, successfully delivers a Gothic atmosphere filled with lush vegetation, isolated manor homes, and brothels operated by voodoo sorceresses. However, thanks to a hopelessly cheesy script, the film never transcends its early-90s low-budget roots.
The plot concerns a Corey Thornton, a dashing young man who has just inherited a vast estate from the father he never knew in life. While combing through the deceased's papers, he discovers that his father's last wish was to be brought back from the dead. Corey becomes obsessed with this task and seeks help from those around him: Bijou (the slobbering neighborhood idiot-savant), Diane (Southern-fried "jailbait" who actually looks to be about 25 years old), his father's lawyer (who has mysteriously deformed hands), and of course Delores (a ********** with big hair and mystical powers).
The action alternates between Corey's manor house and Tonk's, the brothel-next-door, where all the girls are named after dead celebrities...or have Marilyn Monroe and Mary Magdalene really been resurrected?! The band plays smooth jazz as passions rise and Delores casts sultry glances at everyone. Then things get weird. A hand flies out of the wall and starts killing people, whose souls become trapped inside the bodies of birds. A bird which is clearly a hand puppet screams "NEVERRRRRR!" We finally descend to the Netherworld, where the forces of evil fight for control of Corey's mind in a scene that will leave you wondering, "Oh...that was the climax?" All in all, Netherworld is a good bit of entertainment which never gets boring; however, one can't shake the feeling that if slightly more money and effort had been put into it, it could have been good instead of just adequate.
