Voodoo

The college boy Andy (Corey Feldman) leaves Europe and joins the university where his girlfriend Rebecca (Diane Nadeau) is studying in the medical school. He surprisingly meets her in the campus and asks to stay with her, but her fraternity does not allow the presence of boyfriends. He joins the fraternity led by his fellow mate Marsh (Joel J. Edwards) that introduces Andy to the other five dwellers. Soon Andy is drugged and tattooed by his mates. Out of the blue, he meets a stranger that tells him to leave the place; otherwise Andy will die, since Marsh deals with the occult. But Andy in principle does not believe. But the old man gives something to Andy put in Marsh's drink to prove that he is controlling living dead.

"Voodoo" is a flawed film that entertains. It is funny to see the "hero" with 1.65 m height only since usually the lead role has taller actors. The plot has many holes but if the viewer shutdown his brain, he will enjoy this movie. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Voodoo"

Corey Feldman stars as a college student transfaring schools to be with his girlfriend. Upon arrival he gets a lukewarm response from her and has nowhere to go. Desperate for a place to stay, he joins a fraternity with a bad rep, but this is no ordinary frat house. All of its members are zombies who pratice voodoo and kill anybody that gets in their way. Unexceptional, but entertaining film has an appealing cast, some clever moments, and is fairly suspenseful from start to finish. Better then you would expect. Rated R; Violence and Nudity.

let's face it, you know what to expect when you tune into a post 1990 Corey Feldman film, there are probably boobs, guns and cars. saying that, there is more to this movie than just naked ladies (i'm sorry to say), cos it's mainly people getting themselves killed in a variety of unusual, and as the name suggests, often 'mystical' ways. I love crappy horror, and i love this film. If you don't, you probably wont. but i think it's worth most people giving it a go, it's not so crappy that it'll ruin your weekend or anything. All in all, if its mindless good fun, a bit of corpse loving, and an 80's childhood superstar your in the mood for, then you've come to the right place. its a cracker!!!!

Andy Chadway (Corey Feldman) finds it difficult to find lodging at college. Luckily, the Omega frat house takes him in. These guys are different to say the least. Andy pledges the frat, taking the place of a recently-departed brother whose grisly demise was shown at the beginning of the film.

As part of his initiation, Andy must steal a cadaver from the morgue. Soon, he realizes that something very wrong is going on. Especially, when he's drugged and forced to participate in a ghoulish ritual.

VOODOO is -at times- like a macabre version of ANIMAL HOUSE. Mostly though, it's a very good occult horror movie with a surprisingly low cheeeze-factor. Feldman is convincing in his bedeviled role.

Watch for the brilliant Jack Nance in a small role...

The old voodoo horror hokum, but done at least with some conviction. It's predictable, to be sure, but it does build up a fair amount of atmosphere and tension. Joel Edwards gives a smooth, calm, deceptively friendly performance as the main villain, and he compensates somewhat for Corey Feldman's woodenness. (**1/2)
