Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Simply Perfect

Absolutely Brilliant!

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Troubled young lady Cathy (a sympathetic performance by the attractive Christine Moore) is haunted by visions of horribly disfigured deceased people and flashbacks of her late abusive mother. Director Roberta Findlay, working from a convoluted, yet intriguing script by Ed Kelleher and Harriette Vidal, relates the absorbing offbeat story at a hypnotically gradual pace, does a sound job of crafting a spooky surreal atmosphere, makes fine use of gritty New York City locations, delivers a reasonable amount of gore as well as a pleasing sprinkling of tasty gratuitous female nudity (plus there's even a pretty hot soft-core sex scene), grounds the fantastic premise in a plausibly drab workaday urban reality, and tosses in a few inspired kinky touches for good sleazy measure. The okay acting from the competent no-name cast keeps this picture on track: Gary Warner as caring photographer boyfriend Bob, Marina Taylor as glamorous socialite Monica, Roy MacArthur as the creepy Desmond, Peter Oliver-Norman as sniveling wimp Steve, Nancy Groff as loyal gal pal fortune teller Rita, Tom Billett as dangerous psycho Leo "The Hammer," and Carissa Channing as sunny barmaid Sally. Ubiquitous East Coast exploitation cinema regular Ruth Collins has a small part as a model while indie horror scream queen Debbie Rochon pops up in an unbilled bit as a party guest. The surprise grim ending packs a startling punch. Ed French's grotesque make-up for the titular ghastly ghouls is quite freaky and impressive. Findlay's fairly polished cinematography provides several unnerving images. Walter E. Sear's shivery score hits the spine-tingling spot. A nicely quirky fright flick.

Lurkers (1988) BOMB (out of 4)Poor old Cathy is being haunted by ghosts who seem to want revenge over the acts that happened in her childhood. Many years ago poor Cathy was the victim of her mothers abuse, which in turn lead to her mother killing her father and eventually killing herself. Cathy continues to be haunted by this and apparently the ghosts that also haunt the apartment building. Now Cathy is all ready to be married but her fiancé insists that she visit her brother who just happens to hate her due to the parents. By doing this Cathy gets closer to the building where all of this terror took form. Yawn.Here's another contender for one of the worst horror films of the decade. While watching this film I couldn't help but regret loving this genre so much. Unlike other bad horror films, sadly this one isn't bad enough to fall into the "so bad it's good" category and once again, by the fifteen-minute mark I was starting to think about scratching my eyes out. The director certainly forgot to use a script but he was smart enough to try and keep my eyes in my head by throwing out some nudity but even that didn't help.This movie is pure amateurism all the way through and it appears the director simply raised some cash and fired friends to do the roles not once considering if they could actually act or not. There are so many bad things in this film that they get so annoying one can't help but wish their fate is coming soon. Just check out the incredibly stupid scene where the two lovers feed one another pizza. Was this supposed to be romantic? If so, pizza lovers beware because you might not ever look at a slice of pepperoni the same way again. There's even a cute little scene where our female hero encounters some street gangs, which were apparently leftovers from Death Wish 3. It goes without saying the film offers no scares, no good gore effects and nothing else for that matter. Instead of watching this film I'd recommend you get some exercise by watching your grass grow.

I quite liked Roberta Findlay's film "The Oracle" so I thought I'd give this one a go, especially as I thought the VHS cover looked quite cool. Sadly it turned out to be rather boring. It actually has quite a good storyline behind it, but is just done in a very boring way. Which of course means little gore and suspense, and too much talking.I sort of like the cheap and dirty feel to it - I've always thought cheapness adds a murky atmosphere to horror flicks, take "Midnight" by John Russo for example. It's a shame Findlay didn't go for blood and gore over the "talky" bits as that would have made it much more watchable. Using better actors would also have lifted it out of boring mediocrity. Overall, Lurkers may be of interest to those who collect rare horror flicks, but gore and suspense fans should stay away.

This film freaks me out. It's cheaply made and incoherent but the muddle created disturbed me. Stripping, granny sex, lesbianism are all given a nod to. The stunts seem too real, when a girl is strangled with a skipping rope I believed it. A film to watch with your mates and a drink. Surreal content.
