A bit goofy for sure but a fun horror-comedy, in the vein of Evil Dead 2. The performances from both Treat Williams and Joe Piscopo were fun. Think this is one with some good replay value. **3.5/5**

I love 80's movies but this one would be worth passing on except there is one horror make up scene (Randi dying)that might be worth the view. The dialog is clunky and the acting is pretty poor and that includes Treat Williams, who I normally like, but you can tell he was going through the motions on this one. Personally, I never cared for Joe Piscopo in any movie. But if you enjoy an 80's movie with it's vibe - the music, the fashions, the hair styles and add to it a retro red 1960's Chevy convertible then dive right in.
