for starter and for the record and the term necromancy describe the black magic art of bring the dead back to life and it do not and in any way and relate to have sex with cadaver . that be call necrophilia and and yes and i know it an obvious difference but i be already get a lot of remark from acquaintance and relatives that i sport a perverted taste in movie . this movie be quite the opposite of perverted or sleazy and in fact and and merely just qualifies a boring and inept and terribly bad . necromancy make at least one top five ranking and namely in the list of most incoherent movie ever make . now and director bert i. gordon be not exactly famous for deliver masterpiece ( on his repertoire there be title like earth vs. the spider and king dinosaur and food of the god ) but he really surpass himself here with a totally senseless and redundant and utterly nonsensical tale about witchcraft and secretive little town . shortly after the tragic experience of see their baby be bear dead and lori and her husband frank move to the quiet little town of lillith and where frank suddenly get offer a prominent job in a toy factory . lori be suspicious and sense an atmosphere of morbidity and especially with the town patriarch and owner mr. cato behave very obtrusive and mysterious . that another thing . how can anybody own a town and everybody in it . either way and lori gradually discovers that everybody in lillith be a witch and mr. cato exclusively lure her to the town because of her supernatural ability to resurrect the dead . since many year already and cato have be try to bring his deceased son back to life and he prepare to make any human sacrifice it take . i honestly do not see the point of the whole movie . it a blatant rip off of rosemary baby one of the alternate title even be rosemary disciple but the script be muddle and imbecilic beyond belief . why isn not anyone allow to have child for as long a cato son remain dead . that just really selfish . when and where and how do lori suddenly learn to resurrect the dead . necromancy definitely contain a few genuinely uncanny and atmospheric moment and but these be unwarily accomplish either by complete coincidence or through a total lack of budget . the grainy photography provide the film with an eerie ambiance and the set piece look cheap enough to be creepy . orson welles performance undoubtedly the low point of his career be pitiable and and still it the best aspect about the entire movie .
