A Disappointing Continuation
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
Daisy (Susanna D'Arcy perhaps best known for her remarkable performance as Prof. Greta Murderchristmas in "A Muy El Gaucho Navidad") gets a gig as a dog sitter for Mookie at the residence of Silas Killington (Mark Mackner who has played the same character in "Evil Brew,""Skee-tit-zin," and "St. Blacktrick." ) He is confused about the name of his dog calling him Cerberus instead of Mookie, the feared three position outfielder for the New York Mets. Daisy has some friends over, while some women who look like the Oink sisters get killed by an escaped psychopathic killer (James Christopher Black- best known as Joe Naslex - Conspiracy Theorist in "Punk Rock Holocaust 2.") who happens to be pen pals with one of the several visitors (Christine Fisler who plays the succubus leader in the highly anticipated "Midnight Show") Daisy has over to play Ouija Board. The lights go out in the house, except for the other rooms where they need to film.This black and white feature was based on a colorized short feature of the same name which is also included in the DVD (I thought it was better, but that could be because it was shorter.) The film swings back and forth between "So bad it is good" like the pillow fight scene to "So bad it is bad" also like the pillow fight scene. There is some satire within the film such as when we have a local occult TV star says "boobs and the occult" is why people watch her show, clearly a statement about the success of Cassandra Peterson. We love you Elvira.This film is not for everyone, and in fact it is not for most people.
I saw this at a small theater near Philadelphia that was BYOB. The crowd was drinking and laughing and having a great time. The movie is very tongue-in-cheek, so you're not laughing AT it, necessarily. You can tell these guys didn't have much of a budget (maybe no budget at all) but their love for making movies and their sheer enthusiasm shine through and their joyous spirit is infectious. Perhaps knowing they wouldn't wow anyone with their meager effects or production values, they loaded the thing with hot babes, monsters, a serial killer, a haunted house, a luchador and lots of another craziness. If you like laughs (and drinks) with your horror, you should check it out.
