Plagued
with bad sound and murky visuals due to
some sloppy day for night shooting, I
still loved every stinky minute of this
thing. Especially that ending. It's a
weird, strange, bugaboo of a movie. And
I'd hesitate to call it great, but I'd
earnestly recommend it to any genre fan
who needs to see the movie that is so
rightfully dubbed -- and should be
celebrated as -- the sickest PG-Rated
movie ever made. |

It's
safe to say that it would take the death
of, and the opportunity to bury their
domineering, overbearing --
and soon to be revealed psychotic -- father
as the only thing that would bring all
the estranged siblings of the Dean clan
back together. There is no love lost
here but greed has brought them home one
last time. Turns out dear old departed
dad might have the last laugh on all of
them. |

When
production on this Exorcist
knock-off began, the battle lines were
drawn between the director and the
producer. The former wanted the film to
focus on the doomed romance between the
leads while the later wanted to focus on
the possession, the murders, and the
mayhem. Makes you kinda wonder if the story
behind the movie isn't more interesting
than what's on the screen? |

A
film co-conspired by Mario Bava and
actress Laura Betti while making Hatchet
for a Honeymoon,
the original script went through several
stages and five collaborators before the
cameras finally rolled. Which is amazing
since it seems that Bava's only real
desire, here, is to focus on the murders
themselves. For the plot that strings them
together is convoluted, confusing, and
makes Raymond Chandler's The
Big Sleep
read like shampoo instructions. |
