    Completely ridiculous!!!

    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!

    Childhood nightmare

    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.

    Almost Dead and fully awful

    They seemed to make this up as they went along, as the plot or what passed for one, just rambled on to the predictable ending. Doherty plays a psychiatrist who must have got her qualifications based on how short a skirt she could wear. For a professional career woman she doesn't have the sense to realise it's a good idea to wear a raincoat while walking round a cemetery at night when it's pouring with rain!

    Helping her in this sad affair is a cop with an 'attitude.' Well, there's something you don't often see in films...a cop with an 'attitude,' and would you believe it? He also doesn't go by the book and plays by his own rules...how original....not.

    Mandylor as the cop in question must have also got his qualifications by how much he could act the part by trying to be Sly Stallone as 'Rocky.'

    This film isn't even entertaining as a 'so-bad-it's-good' picture, it's just bland and mediocre and the two leads are uninteresting as characters. Only the hunchbacked bar owner shows any sign of character and he isn't around for very long.

    The conclusion to the 'mystery' becomes pretty obvious to viewers early on but it takes forever for the cast to figure it out. This type of story has been done so much better before in other films or TV detective shows and this is only worth watching if you want something to help you sleep at night.

    Are you serious?

    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!

    Plot - no!Scary - yes!

    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!
