director kevin connor and wannabe action hero or romantic lead doug mcclure and re team in this ghost story set in japan . they have be moderately successful together in the 1970 and with the like of the land that time forget ( 1975 ) and at the earth core ( 1976 ) etc . without plastic monster to carry the narrative along though and the result be shabby and derivative in the most corny way . the film begin with a prologue set in the 19th century and with a samurai husband kill his wife and her lover before commit suicide . a move forward to the present introduces marry couple ted and laura and visit japan and move in to the house where the tragedy take place . no surprise a to what happen next and with the spirit of the dead starting to take over the new inhabitant with family friend alex ( mcclure ) assume the role of the wife lover . everything rumble clumsily along with the elegance and grace of a charging elephant and to an inevitable ( but surprisingly downbeat ) conclusion . main point of interest be two feeble decapitation ( the omen have a lot to answer for in promote this a a standard horror set piece ) and and the love making scene feature the doe eye but extremely kinky susan george . the first be a long don not look now inspired piece with her hubby and complete with piano music while the second a much short ( probably at her insistence ) entanglement with mcclure and both look pretty uncomfortable . anyway and every cloud have a silver lining and both scene show of her fantastic knocker so all be not lose . overall i can not decide whether the house where evil dwell be rubbish and watchable rubbish and or entertain in a masochistic kind of way . if youre not into the genre there be nothing here at all and but for horror fan there be probably enough to provoke the odd rye smile and appreciative nod of respect for effort . best scene in any other film the big and black and tree climbing and japanese mutter mechanical crab would have steal the show . they be eclipse though by the legendary family meal scene and where a ghostly head appear in the daughter soup . on see this apparition she ask what kind of soup it be ( . ) and to be tell beef and vegetable and before utter the immortal line ugh there an awful face in my soup . if this wasn not enough the reply be c amon and eat your soup for daddy . laurel and hardy rest in piece .
