Queen Of Spades
Look in the mirror and say her name three times. Not his name this time, Candyman has been and gone.
The theme of this film will be familiar to horror fans. It begins with four teens witnessing a suicide; the victim jumps off a building and takes a while to die. Then there are three teens, then two - both of the guys are gone. But who can save the day? Not the one who discovered Smirnov - an irresistible if dated cultural reference - that was the second guy to die. Enter Smirnov! This film doesn't really have anything to recommend it until the climax, when we are in "Exorcist" territory with an interesting twist, and this is where it scores.
But did they really exorcise the Queen Of Spades - what do you think?
