Points for weirdness. It opens with a little girl getting possessed after walking into a creepy and weirdly-lit mausoleum. Years later, she seems to be living a normal life, but she has these spells, and well... take a guess what happens.
The plot isn't important. The movie almost feels like an Italian flick, and I wonder why...
It was produced by the "Yuppie Don" Michael Franzese, former capo of the Colombo crime family. It was allegedly a form of money laundering. Wether it was a passion for film or simply a business venture is unknown.
There are a few noteworthy things about this movie. The lighting is very green and purple. That's another thing in common with Italian flicks is that heavy lighting. The creature effects are by John Carl Buechler, and the demon looks super cheesy, but not without charm. It also features aunt Esther (LaWanda Page) as a spooked house maid. Is that a nod to early horror films with the black bug-eyed servants who exist solely for comic relief?
It's not great, but I kinda liked it. Not to be confused with Mortuary 1983.
