Legend of the Naked Ghost

Legend of the Naked Ghost (2017)

** 1/2 (out of 4)

A group of college students agree to go to a haunted mansion with their professor as well as a psychic (Candy Lucas) in order to see if the ghost of a former actress (Jasmine Leo) is really there.

Jim Wynorski is one of the kings of "B" movies. He started off working with Roger Corman and I'd say he has become better than anyone else out there when it comes to turning out these types of low-budget movies. He's worked in just about every genre you can think of including countless sexploitation pictures, which is where this falls into play. I found this on Amazon, watched it and enjoyed it for what it was but then I learned that this here is just a shortened version of SCARED TOPLESS.

With that in mind, you'll probably want to check out the full version but in case you don't want to spend much time with it then you can turn to this version, which is actually less than forty-minutes. For some strange reason this here is just a small portion of the film but after the main credits you are treated to the "lost movie of Gail Evelyn" (the actress in the movie) but this scene appears at the start of SCARED TOPLESS.

Whatever you decide to do, LEGEND OF THE NAKED GHOST certainly isn't a masterpiece but it's a nice little sexploitation film. Yes, the type that comes on the likes of Showtime at three in the morning. If you're familiar with the work of Wynorski then you know he loves to cast beautiful, big-breasted women and that's exactly what we get here. A lot of the simulated sex is missing here but there's still plenty of nudity on display and the cast is fun for what they're asked to do.

As I said, I watched this before SCARED TOPLESS so some might want to avoid this all together due to it basically being a chopped down version of a film that is available out there in its complete form.

First of all, the version of this I saw ran 60 minutes not 40 and tacked onto it was a ten minute animated short whose plot I cannot describe because it was too convoluted.

And frankly, I wanted to get to Bridgett B., with whom my left hand has been in love with for quite some time. Whatever happened to her? Did she drop out after having a kid? I dunno but I haven't been getting my exercise in for a few years.

Turns out, I'm not sure what the plot to this one is either. And without the nudity, which seems to be mostly cut out, it's really not worth watching at all.

The ancillary cast can't act and the direction is horrible. Needless to say, there is no script. And considering this flick is only 60 minutes, one has to wonder why they cut in 30 minutes of a black haired chick in a full one piece bathing suit washing an old car. It has nothing to do with anything.

Garbage.
