Almost Dead

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.

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!

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!

I remember when I was a kid, I saw this film for the first time on montenegrin national television (RTCG 2). I remember every detail, the whole living room, my sister and mother were there with me and we watched it together. My sister and I was so scared and we had nigtmares about Katherine's mother. I'm not a kid anymore, but I actually took a long time to re-watch this film again. And about 25 years later I decide to watch it again. It's not the best movie ever made, but it definitelly have some soul and it will always be special to me. That was Shannen's first movie role after Beverly Hills.

Completely ridiculous!!! Shannon Doherty is supposedly being stalked by the corpse of her dead mother, but as if that's not strange enough, the odd part is she doesn't seem remotely surprised or upset that a dead person is after her. At one point, she is actually buried alive on top of her dead mother's cadaver, and she behaves as if this event is barely out of the ordinary. The most annoying part is the final few minutes. The film has tried to be a true horror story, then tries to give a reasonable non-supernatural explanation for what went on, but then ends with a scene that is supposed to be both supernatural and comic - completely alien to the rest of the film! Ugh!
