The Dead Want Women

The only good thing about this movie has to be the main credits! Otherwise, go watch asphalt dry, it's much more entertaining. The acting was ridiculously stiff, the two main characters couldn't have been more cardboard if they'd tried. It amazes me how movies like this get the green light and how actresses such as the two in this movie, get work.

It was directed by Charles Band, who produced Puppet Master, Meridian, Trancers, and hundreds more. So, you would think he would know what he is doing. You would think.

This is one that the fast forward button is your friend.

Low budget - cheap budget. Turn the sound off and it gets marginally better without the cheap dialog.

When a silent movie star realizes the end of her career she dispatches her along with a few exaggerated characters. Years later they come back from the netherworld to bore us.

You will notice cheap makeup on the netherworld entities. And a few of them are the only ones that display their frontal lobes.

Beginning at a stylish mansion in the roaring 1920s, a socialite, flappers, and the men who "love" them come to their ultimate demise. These ghosts continue to haunt the mansion throughout the decades. Now they have come back to haunt and chase after a new generation of beautiful girls.

One has to wonder how Full Moon can sink this low. I cannot say they were ever an amazing company, but they had a certain level of quality. Those years are long gone, and each new film seems to get worse and worse, with less of a plot and a more boring presentation. This film is slightly over an hour, but could have been 35 minutes if the entire thing was not done in slow-motion. And to say there was a plot might be giving it too much credit.

What can be said about Eric Roberts? Once upon a time, he had two Golden Globe nominations and an Academy Award nomination. Those years are long gone. Roberts stooped to the level of being in SyFy movies... which, hey, sometimes you have to do. But Full Moon? Wow, Eric... you have a terrible hackneyed accent and spent most of your time on screen groping naked women. I can see why you liked the script, but this must be rock bottom for you. You are now a worse actor than your sister Julia... and how do you explain this to your daughter, Emma? She is already the best actor in the family...

Charles Band, stick to producing. Your writing and directing days are over.

Although it may not be Full Moon Features best, I do find there to be a interesting plot to the whole mix. Keep in mind people that it is a B movie, so what do you really expect, Academy Award nominations? Yes, I do believe the film was rather short, and some scenes did not need to be so long. But it is entertaining to see Eric Roberts just not give a crap about his acting in this movie, as if he is above all others.

If you like B movies, nudity, weird story plots, and Eric Roberts, then this is a must see.

Full Moon Features is known for their outrageous, low budget movies, I don't think they are going down the drain, I just think this wasn't one of their best. I am still a die-hard fan, and I don't completely discredit this movie. Just have a few beers, relax, and enjoy.

There first half of the movie is the back story of Lady who seem to being having a party.

I then find out she been rejected and that to kill everyone shoot everyone in that room with a gun.

There was some nudity scenes in first half of hour of the movie not much in the second half of the movie.

The start of movie was based 1920's and Decades after, 2 Girl who planing the selling this house.

Get caught up then those Dead Men from past come back to haunt them,

I thought the make up effect were not too bad,they could have them bit more scary there they were.

The acting not that bad, I was expected very bad acting, it not un- watchable.

The movie was very boring thought, I was again drifting away from time to time, while watching this movie.
