A
group of graduate students with a
Professor (Jack Starrett) go to a
crumbling mansion so they can investigate
paranormal activity and try to summon up
the entity inside the house as it's
apparently posessed by demons.
However, the Professor with his assistant
named Stanley (Robert Tessier) tortures
the students and keeps them as prisoners
to continue exploring the mansion.
One of them named Kim (Alisha Das)
manages to escape and discovers that the
Professor and piossibly his students are
aliens and use the mansuion as a breeding
chamber and using people for food.
This
film is off to a great start but yet it
seems like a typical low budget horror
flick that goes nowhere which it does.
Good performances by cast and interesting
direction saves this film from bombing
along with neat cheesy effects too.
Skip this and watch Invasion of
the Body Snatchers instead of
this bland ripoff.
Lead actress Alisha Das
does a splendid job with her role as a
college graduate and does well ast being
spooked too.
Jack
Starrett knew his stuff as the
serious and evil Professor leading his
students to danger.
Robert Tessier was perfect a the
Professor's ogre with his menacing
actions.
Temporary scream queen
Elizabeth Kaitan does well with her
role as a nice girl in the film.
Brian Thompson played a perfect
typical sarcastic ass in the film and
it's not surprising he carried on with
his acting career.
Supporting actor Tom Dugan is
the best in this film although he only
has a few scenes in the film as he lived
to play a mentally challendged one who is
the keeper of the mansion.
Elizabeth Kaitan has
a wet see through shirt and her breasts
are exposed. She takes off her shirt
aftwerwards asd well. During another
sequence she has a see through blouse
with her breasts totally revealed.
Alisha Das feels herself and
unbuttons her shirt exposing her breasts
Some interesting
horror violence in this film.
Theres a chopped off hand
A finger is cut off
Slimy corpses are in a nest for breeding
A cut off arm
A head is smashed open
A corpse is hung with the back of his
flesh torn off
A slimey body with legs and arms are torn
off
Bruce
R. Cook is quite a good director
(Better than his writing) and makes his
work very smooth with his cast for a bad
movie like this.
He almost made this
promising when he directed Elizabeth
Kaitan duriong the beginning of this
film walking through a dark alleyway and
discovering canniballistic zombie's which
is of course a dream.
We have a perfect dialogue sequence
between Thompson and Tom
Dugan as asshole and mentally
challenged person when they first meet
and it works great. He knew how to direct
Dugan with his speech diosorder
and expressions making it seem almost
real.
He shows a great camera shot on the cast
handcuffed together on wooden rails to
try asnd summon up a demonic force.
There's a perfect green light setting to
it with all sorts of cheesy effects.
During this moment he directs Jack
Starrett well by hosting all this.
He made Robert Tessier
convincingly hulkish by torturing some
people which looked cringing.
We also have a good scene with him
chasing after Alisha Das as she
knopws how to keep up the pace with
everything.
He also made the breeding chamber
convincingly dark and creepy with the
slimey corpses surrounding it. During
this moment there's perfect shocked
expressions on Das and knew how
to make supporting actor Artur Cybulski
act very strange, not himself and quite
deadly too during this situation with Das.
The ending is very twisted saying it's a
dream (No it isn't. This is the real
thing)
There's a cheesy rock n
roll songtrack "Nightwish"
performed by Mark Ryder and Phil
Davies during the closing credits
and also composed creepy and dark
keyboard sounds to the film.
