Woodyanders Forlorn Margaret (an excellent and affecting performance by Debbie Rochon) is stuck in an unhappy marriage with the equally dissatisfied Howard (a pleasingly slimy portrayal by Kevin G. Shinnick). Howard and his greedy, wicked, and duplicitous mistress Sadie (deliciously played to the ruthless bitchy hilt by Julian Wells) plan to kill Margaret for her considerable fortune. However, the scheming pair are unaware that by killing Margaret they will trigger off a centuries old curse of demonic retribution. Writer/director Justin Wingenfeld relates the intricate and original story at a steady pace, uses an inspired and interesting narrative device by repeating several key scenes from the contrasting perspectives of different characters (Wingenfeld deserves extra praise for presenting said characters as truly complex three dimensional beings), does a fine job of creating and sustaining a creepy gloom-doom atmosphere, and pulls out all the nightmarish stops with the wild supernatural revenge from beyond the grave climax. This picture further benefits from the sound acting by the capable cast. Wells in particular is a total stand-out throughout; she attacks her juicy femme fatale part with delightfully lip-smacking reprehensible aplomb and really gives her sizzling all in her scorchingly kinky sex scenes (the fact that the lovely and slender Ms. Wells spends the bulk of her screen time nude certainly doesn't hurt matters any). Moreover, there are sturdy supporting turns from Armand Anthony as Sadie's hunky boyfriend Colin, John Paul Fedele as greasy thug Franco, Rodney Grey as Franco's squeamish partner Damato, and Victoria Vance as Margaret's sympathetic friend Julia. Popping up in cool bits are the ever-adorable Misty Mundae as an ill-fated hooker and Ruby Larocca as Franco's trashy trollop wife. The startling moments of savage violence pack a brutal punch. John Paul Fedele's rather rough, but effective and fairly stylish cinematography gives the movie an appropriately shadowy look. Don Mike's spooky score does the spine-tingling ooga-booga trick. The tight 75 minute running time ensures that this feature never gets dull or overstays its welcome. A hugely enjoyable shocker.

lastliberal Let's just make one thing perfectly clear. When Howie (Kevin G. Shinnick) turns over and passes on his wife (Debbie Rochon), you know that things are screwy. Give me a break! Passing on Debbie for Julian Wells. I mean, she is nice, and she did spend most of the film showing her nice boobies and generous booty, but hey dude, nobody passes on Debbie.This was, as far a I know the first time that Rochon played a real zombie, as she came back from her death to take revenge. It wasn't as bloody as I would have liked in this type of film, but it was good.Misty Mundae also appeared briefly as a hooker, but we mostly just got to see her head bobbing up and down before it was cruelly jerked too far to the right. Poor Misty was just with the wrong people.This was a first film for writer/director Justin Wingenfeld, and he has talent. It is hoped that he continues to improve.

Mid12nt This movie was truly bad, not funny bad, but cheap, uninspired, easy to fall asleep to bad. The film wasn't scary, the acting was horrendous and the special effects were pathetic. It reminded me of the cheap, poorly made horror films of the 60's. If you need a film so dull you'll easily fall asleep trying to watch it, or you enjoy watching extremely low budget horror films than this is the film for you, otherwise don't waste your time.Movie spoilers ahead.There are three sisters who are Wicca's. A group of nasty, disgusting men take away the youngest of the three and rape and beat her. She dies. Her two sisters turn to black witchcraft to avenge her and any future family descents if something bad happens to them. They didn't show what, if anything happened to the men, but I nodded off so I may have missed it.Cut to modern day, the only remaining descendant, Margret, is financially well off, but her husband, Howard, is cheating on her. Howard's mistress, Sadie, convinces Howard to have Margret murdered and that for $100K she knows someone who can do it. Unknown to Howard, Sadie has a steady boyfriend. Sadie's boyfriend contracts 2 sleazy guys to kill Margret for only $10K. The two men abduct Margret, viciously stab her death, and bury her out in the woods. Sadie gets the $100K from Howard and immediately leaves him after telling him he's a loser and she only slept with with him to get the money.In very quick order, Margret arises from the dead, strangles/breaks the necks of the two men who killed her and the neck of a woman who was with them. Margret goes home and starts strangling Howard, but Howard blows his brains out. I nodded off again, so I have to assume Margret kills Sadie's boyfriend.Margret saves Sadie for last, and the way she kills her is the reason I rate the movie 2 stars instead of only 1. Margret doesn't strangle Sadie, she kills her with a kiss. After Margret kisses Sadie, Sadie runs to the bathroom and starts gagging and vomiting worms, blood and dead flesh. She then falls over and dies. The End.

dvmoviemaker I would just like to know what (if any) basis for comparison that people say that films of this yore are 'worst movie ever made' or 'director should be flogged'...you get the drift.I am just interested as to what is considered a 10 in the same production budget range.It's no good just making bland comments that we've all used before. I thought Spidey 3 was a major disappointment (on that budget) but I thought Cabin Fever was great (for that budget)...but both made a shed load of money.But I do know something, that if the budget was low enough for this movie and yet it got distribution...then a profit was made somewhere along the line...and in the film BUSINESS...that's all that matters.Good luck to anyone who makes a movie and gets a distribution deal.
