Mort ou presque

This movie is very, very silly. No plot, inadequate special effects and mediocre acting. It may have served a purpose as a vehicle for Shannon Doherty's career, but what an actor of the calibre of Billy Moses was doing in it, I'll never understand. Not worth the rental.

I thought they were playing it camp.

Mystery Science Theater 3000 rolls really bad movies and has those 2 robots kibitz and make fun of the movie as it plays.

This movie is just like that - without the very funny robots.

Yeah,this movie isn't something special.The acting is not very good,the plot either.But for a true horror fan,that some times doesn't matter.The ghost of the mother is scary as hell!If you watch the movie late at night and don't care much about the acting or etc. of the movie then it should be very terrifying!

If you want to be scared watch the movie but don't expect a masterpiece.If you want to see a masterpiece don't watch the movie.It's very simple.But remember:you only watch horror films during night.

So in conclusion:If you like scary horror movies watch this late at night and you will be satisfy.If you don't like these film and you expect something like a plot ,good acting or something like that-skip that one!

The movie in itself isn't particularly special, just the average mumbo-jumbo mish-mash of psychology, occultism, crime and horror. There are dozens and dozens of such movies around, with nice graphics, spooky effects, thrilling soundtracks, silly plots and goofy dialogue: if you like the genre, you'll like this one too. However, this one comes with a bonus: the acting. It's *so* bland, *so* devoid of appropriate emotions, that the movie acquires a kind of "dreamlike" undertone. Hard to describe, but definitely entertaining!

I agree with all comments on this loser. I laughed through all of it. A real campy melodrama. Ruben Preuss must have had his eyes closed throughout the directing of this. Could he not see the stupidity of the story, characters and plot? Then to top it off having Barbie look alike, Shannen Doherty, try to act. Playing a professional psychologist/teacher, she walks around in a white suit through most of the film with a low cut neckline exposing the right amount of lace undergarment and cut up to the kazoo. In distance shots with her lab coat, also cut up to the kazoo, she appears to not have a dress on allowing her legs to be exposed and her high spike shoes. Tell me what professional person do you see walking around like that? Most other hospital personnel wear long coats and slacks. So much for our leading lady who can't act her way out of a paper bag. Then we have her leading man, played on one note by Costos Mandylor, who manages to do nothing. In one fight scene, he's instantly knocked out while our petite leading karate chops the villains down. Laugh laugh laugh! Even with stalwart actors with the likes of William Moses and John Diehl can't save this bomb. It's the kind of movie you can change channels on and come back later and see the same thing. Nothing!
