Notes

My quick rating - 4,4/10. Remember the 80s horror flicks? This is every cliche of them. Thing is, it isn't any good. The cliches are fine if there is some decent story to follow, or characters to care about. Or just straight up quality kills. This movie has none of these. Overpowering music for no apparent reason is abundant, that is for sure. The gratuitous nudity is a bit overboard, plenty of full frontal nudity in this one, not just boobs. Doesn't make the movie any better. Ok, maybe a little. The movie really isn't a Halloween movie, just happens to be around Halloween when a family decides to have its satanic ritual of offering a virgin. Or I think, the girl needing to be pure is once mentioned at a gas station, so that is how you develop a story in this flick. Don't bother.
