Micitype Pretty Good
BeSummers Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.
ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
retwerts Yeah,this movie isn't something special.The acting is not very good,the plot either.But for a true horror fan,that some times doesn't matter.The ghost of the mother is scary as hell!If you watch the movie late at night and don't care much about the acting or etc. of the movie then it should be very terrifying!If you want to be scared watch the movie but don't expect a masterpiece.If you want to see a masterpiece don't watch the movie.It's very simple.But remember:you only watch horror films during night.So in conclusion:If you like scary horror movies watch this late at night and you will be satisfy.If you don't like these film and you expect something like a plot ,good acting or something like that-skip that one!
guilfisher-1 I agree with all comments on this loser. I laughed through all of it. A real campy melodrama. Ruben Preuss must have had his eyes closed throughout the directing of this. Could he not see the stupidity of the story, characters and plot? Then to top it off having Barbie look alike, Shannen Doherty, try to act. Playing a professional psychologist/teacher, she walks around in a white suit through most of the film with a low cut neckline exposing the right amount of lace undergarment and cut up to the kazoo. In distance shots with her lab coat, also cut up to the kazoo, she appears to not have a dress on allowing her legs to be exposed and her high spike shoes. Tell me what professional person do you see walking around like that? Most other hospital personnel wear long coats and slacks. So much for our leading lady who can't act her way out of a paper bag. Then we have her leading man, played on one note by Costos Mandylor, who manages to do nothing. In one fight scene, he's instantly knocked out while our petite leading karate chops the villains down. Laugh laugh laugh! Even with stalwart actors with the likes of William Moses and John Diehl can't save this bomb. It's the kind of movie you can change channels on and come back later and see the same thing. Nothing!
zeppo-2 They seemed to make this up as they went along, as the plot or what passed for one, just rambled on to the predictable ending. Doherty plays a psychiatrist who must have got her qualifications based on how short a skirt she could wear. For a professional career woman she doesn't have the sense to realise it's a good idea to wear a raincoat while walking round a cemetery at night when it's pouring with rain!Helping her in this sad affair is a cop with an 'attitude.' Well, there's something you don't often see in films...a cop with an 'attitude,' and would you believe it? He also doesn't go by the book and plays by his own rules...how original....not.Mandylor as the cop in question must have also got his qualifications by how much he could act the part by trying to be Sly Stallone as 'Rocky.'This film isn't even entertaining as a 'so-bad-it's-good' picture, it's just bland and mediocre and the two leads are uninteresting as characters. Only the hunchbacked bar owner shows any sign of character and he isn't around for very long.The conclusion to the 'mystery' becomes pretty obvious to viewers early on but it takes forever for the cast to figure it out. This type of story has been done so much better before in other films or TV detective shows and this is only worth watching if you want something to help you sleep at night.
ami-12 This movie is very, very silly. No plot, inadequate special effects and mediocre acting. It may have served a purpose as a vehicle for Shannon Doherty's career, but what an actor of the calibre of Billy Moses was doing in it, I'll never understand. Not worth the rental.
