i be not a big fan of horror film and and have only see a handful of them ( and none of the halloween or friday the thirteenth ) but i can appreciate a frightening horror film not because of gore . and i be pretty sure this isn not scary . what so spooky about a little plastic skull that pop up everywhere . in all of it appearance there be faraway establish shot and so there no real surprise in any of this film . ( not that a skull in of itself be that scary anyway and but . . . ) the plot concern claus von bulow third cousin ( john hudson ) and who marry a donna reed look a like ( peggey webber and give one of the bad performance ever ) who begin see skull and hear the mysterious scream of a group of peacock on her husband mansion . do i mention that her husband lose her first wife in a mysterious drowning incident . ooooh . wonder who do it . this be the same old plot about a rich boy try to kill and or or drive their wife insane . if you want to see a well do version of this stuff and try reversal of fortune . and btw and jeremy iron be one hundred time more talented than john hudson . the msting be okay but nothing special while pair with the gumby short and however and it make for good viewing . two star for the scream skull while eight star for the mst3k version . and now and to paraphrase mr. von bulow himself represent how bad be this film . you have no idea .
