... View MoreI tried to watch this - I really tried... had to fast forward during the last part of the first story. I stopped and tried to watch the second story and, yep, I hit the fast forward again - and the same with the third and final story. This is worse than awful - and I love a good bad film but this is just so bad it's awful. This is a terrible anthology.The first story is that of a killer who murdered several people. He was released from prison 22 years later and then was haunted by "ghosts" (looks more like zombies) of those he murdered.The second story is that of vampires. A family of kids who are in trouble with the law, from what I gathered, are turned into vampires.The third is that of a mad scientist - a Frankenstein rip-off story.2/10
... View MoreI have no problem with camp. I also have no problem with "bad" horror movies. In fact, I have a soft spot in my heart for them. I also am a believer in the idea that some movies are so bad they are good. This, however, is not one of those movies. The acting was so horrible, so cheesy, so amateurish it seemed like an audition tape for a high school production. I cannot recommend this. It not only was a terrible movie, it wasn't even that frightening. The three scenarios were not that inventive. The monsters were stilted and very dated (and not in the good way). There are so many low budget horror movies out there that are worthy of your time, pass this one and see something better.
... View MoreIf any horror movie deserved distribution then "Where Evil Lives" is that movie.This lost Florida treasure was only seen by a select few people who had worked on it,and only a few VHS copies of this 16mm film to video were ever seen by the public. I happened to be one of those lucky few.This movie brings you back to those campy 1980's when horror films did not rely on CG special effects.Instead plenty of blood and screaming did the trick.This movie has something that is lacking in todays horror films,Characters!The great great Claude Akins plays one of the greatest characters of his veteran career.He is a Caretaker at an old spooky mansion.A possible rich buyer (Jim Coffey) of the property meets Claude's character "Jack Devlin" who tells the Buyer about the insane and evil happenings that have taken place on the property over a 40 year period. Mass murders,Zombies,Vampires,and Witches are all connect into the house "Where Evil Lives." Troma films is releasing this in September.Just in time for Halloween!
... View MoreAs a big fan of late 80's and early 90's campy horror films this is a good one with 3 unique stories all tied together with veteran actor Claude Akins (in his final role)Zombies, Vampires and witches all tied together in a neat package. All three stories take place in an old country club style Mansion that was built over 100 years ago. Don't miss this one as it brings horror mixed with some great one liners and even a few laughs as your emotions take you on a wild ride back about 20 or so years ago. If you are an 80's horror buff you must add this one to your collection especially if you are a Troma film fan who expects only the best in campy horror films.
